Congestive Heart Failure

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Warrenton, OR

Does anyone with congestive heart failure get so cold they shake and can not get warm no matter what? I don’t have it but worry with my heart condition . I have my echo and ekg scheduled for next month and it is something I wanted to talk to the doctors about but I am not sure I should bring it up. I don’t want to come off paranoid
