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 diagnosed with an incomplete right bundle branch block in my ECG report. Is this something I should be worried about? Is it a heart disorder or a serious issue? What steps should I take next?
Incomplete right bundle branch block is a condition where the electrical impulses in the heart are delayed as they pass through the right bundle branch. It is usually not a serious problem on its own, but it can sometimes indicate underlying heart conditions. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management. In most cases, no specific treatment is needed for incomplete right bundle branch block.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my 17-year-old son's blood pressure. It's at 140 over 80, and he's currently taking Vinicor D 25 and Solopose Plus. Could you help me understand what these numbers really mean? Do you think its necessary for us to schedule an appointment with a doctor? I'm a bit concerned about his health.

I'm experiencing a really high heart rate, like around 111 to 115, and I'm also dealing with dry eyes and a loss of appetite. Could these be connected to my fast heartbeat? What might be causing all this? Would love some guidance.
A high heart rate, dry eyes, and loss of appetite can be related to various medical conditions. One possible reason for your symptoms could be hyperthyroidism, which is an overactive thyroid gland. In this case, I would recommend you to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg twice a day to help lower your heart rate.
