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'm reviewing my lipid profile report, and I'm a bit concerned. My triglycerides are at 203, total cholesterol is 238, LDL cholesterol is 158, HDL cholesterol is 39, and VLDL is 41. I'm not sure if these numbers are within normal range. I'm trying to manage my weight, which is currently 73kg, because I had some palpitations about four months ago. I'm on a diet now, but I'm worried about these levels. Could you guide me on whether these are normal and how I might improve them?
To improve your lipid profile, you can consider making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. To help improve your lipid profile, you can start taking a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg. It is important to continue with your diet and exercise regimen to see improvements in your lipid profile over time.

I've been dealing with high blood pressure and I'm taking my meds like met xl and CTD 6.25 regularly. My weight is fine at 51 kg and I haven't had any heart issues, but I'm really into the idea of starting to run in the mornings. Is it safe for me to do that with my high BP?
It is generally safe for individuals with high blood pressure to engage in aerobic exercises like running. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine. Since you are already on medication for high BP (Met XL and CTD 6.25), your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or provide specific guidelines for exercising. It is also important to monitor your blood pressure before and after exercise, and to stay hydrated during your run.

I'm 18 and just got my ECG results which say sinus arrhythmia but I don't really understand what that means. My heart rate is 75 bpm, P is 97 ms, PR is 117 ms, QRS is 98 ms, QTQTc is at 352395 ms, and there's something about RV5 and SV1 being at 2.7031.245 mv. They noted it's a normal ECG, but I'm still a bit worried. Should I be concerned about any of these numbers?
Your ECG report indicates a normal heart rhythm with a diagnosis of sinus arrhythmia, which is a benign condition characterized by a variation in heart rate with breathing, and all other parameters, including PR, QRS, and QT intervals, are within normal limits, suggesting no underlying cardiac abnormalities, so you can be reassured that your heart is functioning normall
