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've been dealing with anxiety for about a month now. My cardiologist mentioned that during the echo test, there was palpitations and a skipped beat. Is this something I should be worried about? He prescribed me sleeping pills along with anxiety medication. Everything else seems normal, with the LVEF at 60. Does that sound okay?
Palpitations and skipped beats during an echo test can be concerning, but it is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. For anxiety, medications like Xanax (alprazolam) can be prescribed. For sleep, medications like Ambien (zolpidem) can be helpful. It's good to know that all other parameters are normal and your LVEF is 60%. Make sure to take the medications as prescribed and follow up with your cardiologist for any concerns.

I'm 41, unmarried, and I'm carrying quite a bit of extra weight108 kg with a height of 5 feet 7 inches. I've got asthma and I used to take Formoflo inhaler 250mg and Asthalin rotohaler 200mg regularly, even Montek AB for a bit. But since I haven't had symptoms for a while, I stopped. Then recently, after climbing stairs, I had some breathing trouble and found myself needing to take deep breaths and yawning a lot throughout the evening. I did an ECG a week ago that showed everything was okayjust that my heart skipped a beat. My last master health check-up was 45 days ago and that was fine too. I saw a cardiologist because I had chest pain, and they suggested doing a TMT. I've also got GERD. So, my mind's been racing a bitshould I be worried about heart disease or fluid in my lungs? I'd really appreciate some guidance.
