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 recently got an echo report showing mild tr and trivial mr but my LVEF is 70 with normal LV function. I'm a football player with no symptoms but worried about the valve leakage. Should I be concerned about the mild tr? Does this mean I need surgery or can I continue playing sports? The report says everything else is normal but I'm anxious about the leak.
cardiologist opinion is advised.

I'm currently taking Corbis 1.25 as a beta blocker for blood pressure, and while it seems to be under control, my heart rate sometimes drops to 56 or goes up to 68. I'm feeling dizzy on and off, and I'm worried if this slow heart rate is the reason. Is it okay for me to stop taking my blood pressure medication?
It seems like the beta blocker medication you are taking is effectively controlling your blood pressure, but it may be causing your heart rate to decrease at times, leading to symptoms like dizziness. It is important not to stop the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor. Instead, you can discuss with your doctor about adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication that may better suit your needs. In the meantime, if you experience severe dizziness or any concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
