Can Coldness And Shivering Of The Body Be Symptoms Of Heart Failure?
I am a Hypotension patient of 46 years, I use Losartan Potassium/Hydrochlorothiazide 62.5mg and Atorvastatin 10mg on daily at night. Last night I had some alcohol (about 100-150 ml of brandy) before dinner. Also I was bit nervous after a argument with my wife. I did not take regular medicine and went to bed. At around 3 am I work up with a shiver and my mussels on left chest was shivering and felt hart was pumping hard with sound and my body was cold. My pulse was very high. I took one Losartain and a aspirin immediately (room temperature also was around 24C) I had to warm up the room and with a pullover and warm by body about an hour to make feel warm. When I feel warm the shivering feeling at heart became normal, even this morning I feel it bit uncomfortable. Is that heart shivering I felt or is it a hear failure? How serious I should take it..? Should I stop taking alcohol? Your answering may help me to calm down and continue my office work. Thanks you and have a nice day!

hello,
These are not the symptoms of heart attack and even if you had, it would not have resolved on its own. So does not appear to be a heart attack. However, there is a possibility that this may be due to skipping of medicine. So I think you should not be worried much, but have regular medicine.
You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once..
