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 had a stent put in my heart, and now, two years later, its blocked again. My doctor had to place another stent inside the blocked one. Is this normal or something I should be worried about?
Placing another stent inside an existing one is known as a "stent-in-stent" procedure. It is a common approach to manage blocked stents. The new stent helps to reinforce the existing one and improve blood flow. It is important to continue with prescribed medications such as dual antiplatelet therapy to prevent blood clots. Examples of medications include Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg daily and Aspirin 81mg daily. Regular follow-up with your doctor is essential to monitor the stents and overall heart health.
