Hi,

It is possible that the heart murmur and the other symptoms are related, but it is difficult to say without a proper medical evaluation. Heart murmurs can be caused by a variety of factors, including problems with the valves or chambers of the heart, and it is important to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan from a doctor.

The sensitivity to cold, mottled skin, and night sweats may be symptoms of a separate issue, such as a circulation problem or infection. It would be best to bring these symptoms to the attention of your daughter's doctor and have her evaluated to determine the underlying cause.

In the meantime, it is important to ensure your daughter stays warm and comfortable, and to encourage her to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If she develops any new or worsening symptoms, or if you have any concerns, be sure to contact her doctor right away.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
