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 having a pounding heart and sometimes feel dizzy for about a week now. It even happens when I'm just sitting around doing nothing. Any idea what's going on? Should I be worried?
These symptoms could be due to a condition called palpitations, which can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, it is important to reduce your caffeine intake and practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.

I'm curious about what steps to take next for my health. I've been on medication for 10 months now dealing with mild cholesterol and hypertension, and I'm also diabetic. My LDL is currently 68 mgdl. The medications I'm taking include Metformin 500 mg, Ramipril 2.5 mg, Rosuvastatin, Aspirin, and Metoprolol Succinate 25 mg. I haven't done an angiography yet, and I'm wondering if that's necessary or if there are other actions I should consider for better health management. What would you suggest?
Based on your current medications and medical history, it seems like you are managing your hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol levels effectively. Since you have a mildly positive TMT result and have not undergone angiography yet, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. You may consider discussing the possibility of undergoing angiography to assess the status of your coronary arteries. Depending on the findings, your healthcare provider may recommend adjustments to your current medication regimen or additional interventions to optimize your cardiovascular health. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed: - Metformin 500mg for diabetes - Ramipril 2.5mg for hypertension - Rosuvastatin for cholesterol - Aspirin for cardiovascular protection - Metoprolol succinate 25mg for hypertension Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and make any necessary changes to your treatment plan.

I'm experiencing some mild chest pain, back pain, and lightheadedness occasionally. Ive done an ECG, 2D Echo, and TMT. The cardiologist said my heart is fine and prescribed me T. Gemcal for 30 days, T. Etoshine MR for 5 days, and T. Pan D for 5 days. The ECG results show NRM and WNL, and the 2D Echo is normal. Ive attached the TMT report here. Could you take a look and let me know what you think?
