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 noticing that my blood pressure levels fluctuate between 13090 and 14095, and they tend to be higher in the evenings. I'm currently on Telmisartan 40 mg and take it every morning. I'm a bit worried about whether I should keep the dosage the same or if it would be better to adjust it or even change the medication altogether. What do you think would be the best course of action?
Yes you need a combinantion of medicines,visit general physician for appropriate management and maintain healthy life style

I'm feeling some pain on the left side of my chest, and it honestly feels like it's coming from my heart. It's not excruciating, but it's definitely scary and annoying, almost like little stabbing pains. Should I be concerned that this could be a sign of a heart attack?
It's important to rule out any serious conditions like a heart attack. However, based on your description, it could also be musculoskeletal or related to anxiety. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, if you have a history of acid reflux, you can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to see if it helps with the symptoms. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been having chest pain on the left side since the beginning of September. He quit smoking around that time, and now he's also experiencing tightness in his chest and suddenly started having acid reflux. The chest pain has gotten worse, and it's been sharp and in the upper part of his left chest for the last three days. Could you help me understand what might be going on?
take tablet zerodol and tablet pantop for 3 days
