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'm a bit confused about my recent TMT test results since it came back negative. Can you explain what that means for me?
A negative TMT (Treadmill Test) result indicates that there were no significant abnormalities detected during the test. It means that there is no evidence of blockages or reduced blood flow to the heart during physical activity. This is a good sign for your heart health.

I've been having shoulder pain and pain in my left arm for a week now. It feels like indigestion with belching, and I'm getting really worried. Could this be related to my heart or is it just acidity? Please let me know what's going on, I'm feeling pretty tense about it.
It is important to rule out any cardiac issues, especially when experiencing shoulder pain and left arm pain. However, considering your symptoms of indigestion and belching, it is possible that this could be related to acidity as well. You may try taking antacids like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals for relief from acidity symptoms. Additionally, you can take **Acetaminophen** 500mg for pain relief in the shoulder and arm. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek further medical evaluation.
