Cold Sweats

Hello, and thanks for asking this question! I used to experience this, but I'm unsure if it's serious. It would happen before I got the LVAD, but it stopped since then. I would ask your team whether or not it is a cause for concern. -Olivia

Yes, cold sweats can be serious and it all depends upon the basic cause behind it. Normally, cold sweats are often caused by stress, anxiety, low blood sugar, and infection. In a more serious case, cold sweats occur in a heart attack, low blood sugar, or shock. In the worst case, cold sweats if accompanied by chest pain, dizziness or fainting, medical consultation is a must.
