Yes, Sharon, I have Diastolic or left-sided heart failure too, and my feet and hands are always cold. I try to exercise a much as I can to move the blood back to the heart, but still, I have popsicle toes! BTW, diastolic heart failure is a condition where the heart's left ventricle struggles to relax and fill with blood, leading to symptoms similar to other forms of heart failure, despite a normal ejection fraction. The best we can do is exercise the legs to help the blood flow as much as possible.
Yes, cold hands, feet, and lower legs are a common experience for people with heart failure. This happens because heart failure affects how well your heart can pump blood throughout your body. When the heart isn't pumping efficiently enough, it can lead to poor circulation, especially in your extremities.
Many thanks for your response.
