My father has congestive heart failure, and he recently developed a low-grade fever that isn't going away. I'm wondering if CHF itself can cause a fever, or if it indicates something else.

No, congestive heart failure itself does not cause fever. If there is a fever, it usually indicates an underlying infection like pneumonia, which requires immediate medical attention.

Hi! From what we went through with my grandfather, fever isn't a direct symptom of CHF. But people with heart issues get lung infections easily due to fluid accumulation. Please get a doctor to check their lungs to be safe.

Actually, CHF directly fever nahi deta yaar. If someone with heart failure gets a fever, it means their body is fighting some infection, maybe a chest or urinary tract infection, which can make heart failure worse. Better check with the doc immediately!

CHF itself shouldn't cause a fever, unlike how a bad stomach bug does! If there's a fever, it's likely an infection lurking around, which can make the heart work twice as hard. Keep the food very simple, low salt, and call the doctor.

Normally, heart failure doesn't cause fever directly. When my son's heart condition was active, we were told to watch out for fever because infections put a massive, dangerous load on a weak heart. Please consult your doctor to find the source of the fever.
