I have severe cardiomyopathy, and a low ef. i recently came down with a cold, so my heart rate has been higher than normal. now i also have a low grade fever. should i continue to monitor symptoms at home or go be seen in an ed?

Fever would be good reason to see someone these days. Trust you got your COVID-19 and flu Vaccination.

While a fever and more rapid heart rate can be from usually mild infections, your heart problems put you at high risk for serious complications even from mild illness. If you have chest pressure/pain, shortness of breath, or just really feel worse, please do be seen. Flu, covid and RSV are out there, and people can get very ill!
