HF and associated problems

I am trying to determine if other health issues are direct results of my heart failure diagnosis. As soon as I left hospital I had a runny nose and have suffered a heavy cold for 3months. along with freezing nose, hands, feet, legs. This was followed by urine infection and various infections of the penus area. Umpteen antibiotics and creams later, no progress! Also cuts and scrapes get infected. Does anyone else get these effects or has my immune system gone to hell? I am a 75 year old male gym member until recently.

  1. I really appreciate you sharing with our community and am hopeful that someone with a similar experience will chime in. In the meantime, I was wondering how your relationship is with your healthcare team. Thank you again for stopping by and wishing you a peaceful day. - John M. (Heart-Failure.net Team)
