What is a heart cough?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.

View allI've been waking up with a pretty bad headache and noticing that my blood pressure readings are quite high in the morning, sometimes hitting around 160100. It seems to settle down by around noon and stays normal for the rest of the day. Im currently on Espin AT and Equasite 12.5 every morning. Is this something I should be worried about? What's causing these high readings in the morning?
It seems like you are experiencing morning hypertension, which is a common issue for some individuals. To help manage your blood pressure more effectively throughout the day, you can consider taking your medications at different times. I recommend taking your Espin AT in the morning as usual, but you may benefit from taking your Equasite 12.5 in the evening instead. This can help provide more consistent blood pressure control throughout the day. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm having some trouble with mild heart palpitations and anxiety, so my cardiologist put me on Telma 40 and propranolol 40 mg. The good news is my palpitations and angina are gone since starting propranolol, but now I'm experiencing some erection issues. I'm wondering, could I switch from propranolol to Nevivolol? Or would it be okay to take tadalafil along with the propranolol? Could you give me some advice on these two options?
1. Instead of Propranolol 40 mg, you can use Nebivolol. The recommended dosage for Nebivolol is 5 mg to 10 mg once daily. It is also effective in managing heart palpitations and anxiety, with a lower risk of causing erectile dysfunction compared to Propranolol. 2. You can take Tadalafil with Propranolol, but it is important to consult with your cardiologist or healthcare provider before combining these medications. Tadalafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction, and the combination with Propranolol may help alleviate the erection problem you are experiencing. The usual starting dose of Tadalafil is 10 mg taken prior to anticipated sexual activity, with a maximum frequency of once per day.
