Patient's question:
Listen to them say that cough caused by heart disease is different from ordinary cough. Then I would like to ask the doctor what are the symptoms of cough caused by heart disease?Doctor's answer:
When there are premature beats in the heart, it can trigger reflexive coughing. Or, when left heart failure reoccurs, pulmonary embolism can cause coughing, shortness of breath while sitting, and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. In most cases, coughing is related to the respiratory system. It is recommended that patients undergo an electrocardiogram and chest X-ray for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, the heart's protective fire overcomes the metal of the lungs, which is why there may be a recurrence of coughing symptoms. It's still necessary to treat it.
