my 85 yr old mom has a history of A fib and polymyalgia, shes on many meds for this including long term warfarin and steroids. Yesterday she had a high fever and a rigor that settled with paracetemol. Today she is very tired and her appetite is poor. should I bring her to the GP or cardiologist?
Hi. Since you're already following with a cardiologist, the treatment of AF must have being taken cared of. However I feel you should definitely take your mom to physician as having fever with ongoing steroids is not a good sign.
