A member asked:
Weight gain of 2lbs in a day lost over night. feeling very cold at rest with chest pain and cough. could this be worsening chf?

Not likely: If you have a history of CHF and if it's been recently uncontrolled, then, yes, it's conceivable that your symptoms represent decompensation. But feeling cold and chest pain are not sx of CHF and cough and weight gain have many causes other than your heart. A chest xray and simple blood sample could easily resolve this uncertainty.
