Hello, I see you also use the. British Heart Foundation forum. I think you might get a better response if you post your question there as we tend to focus on Atrial Fibrillation………

Hi There Shaz. My cousin told me not long ago that my uncle had a really bad cough for awhile before he passed away in 2021. My uncle did not go to the doctors very often he would just try and get on with life. My cousin told me that the hospital said that my uncle had a cardiac cough, because my uncle never went to the doctors very often he didn't know he had an large heart. I also have a cough myself and I cough everyday, it is so annoying.take care.

Thank you 😊 that’s what I’m worried about i think they call it a wet cough I hope my consultation can help me plus I’ve got postmenopausal osteoporosis as well to add to everything. I’m sorry about your uncle 🥲

What medication are you on?

I had a cough for a long time and had loads of tests, nothing was identified as the problem. I then read that Bisoprolol can give some side affects. Stopped taking it and the cough disappeared.

I’m on Bisoprolol 7.5mg it was up a few months ago I have been on these tablets from the being off my heart failure.
