I'm really worried because I'm experiencing this pressure in my chest along with some severe back pain. I also feel lightheaded, nauseous, and dizzy most of the time. Climbing stairs makes it worsemy heart races, and it's hard to catch my breath. What could be going on here? Should I be concerned?

My dad had an angioplasty on the 14th of last month, and now hes been dealing with a persistent cough. We've already seen our regular physician, but it hasn't improved. He's on Ramistar, Rampril, and has a reduced left ventricular function with an EF of 44. Should we be worried about this cough not getting better? Could it be related to his heart medications, or is something else going on? I'm looking for advice on what we should do next.

Ramipril can sometimes cause cough as a side effect. If it is too severe, then the medication may need to be replaced with another anti-hypertensive. It is best to consult your regular cardiologist before making any changes to your regular medication.
