Fluid accumulation caused by heart failure can affect any part of your body. Some people accumulate fluid in their liver and digestive system. If this happens, it can make you feel full and/or bloated.

Therefore, you may feel less hungry. You can try eating smaller meals more frequently to stop you from feeling too full or bloated.
