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.

I'm really curious and a bit concerned about something that's been happening to me lately. Every time I finish my lunch, it feels like my heart starts racing more than usual. It's really noticeable, and it only happens after I eat a meal. Just to give you a bit of context, I'm a 53-year-old woman, and I do have a history of thyroid problems. Could this be related, or is there another reason why my heart speeds up after eating?
This could be due to a condition called postprandial tachycardia, which is a rapid heart rate that occurs after eating. In your case, with a history of thyroid issues, it could be related to thyroid dysfunction affecting your heart rate. I recommend consulting with your doctor to adjust your thyroid medication if needed. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) before meals to help control your heart rate after eating.

I'm really worried because I fainted like 45 times yesterday while I was with my boyfriend. It all started when I suddenly passed out while hugging and kissing him. He managed to wake me up each time and even gave me some chocolate to eat, but I kept fainting again after a few minutes. The whole time, he was holding me and trying to calm me down. I hadn't eaten anything since last night, except for a cup of milk then and another one this morning. Could this be because I didn't eat enough, or is it something more serious?
You experienced repeated fainting spells (syncope) while hugging and kissing your boyfriend. Possible causes: Medical Conditions 1. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Lack of food intake, especially after milk consumption. 2. Dehydration: Insufficient fluid intake. 3. Anxiety or stress: Emotional distress. 4. Cardiovascular issues: Rare, but possible
