Does anyone else have persistent cough with clear phlegm? I've had it now since end of September. I just found out right side of my heart is a lot larger than last year.

I dont have persistant cough, but I can relate to the clear flem.A bit

like a frofy white look to it but generally clear.It seems different from

before ht, but dosent seem to cause any problems. But interesting topic.

Some drugs can cause the cough. If you’re really worried talk to GP, cardiac nurse etc

PFO /septal defects can cause persistent cough and recurring chest infections

Can be medication. Do you take Ramipril? I found it helps to drink more fluids and broncostop pastilles at night

some statins can cause a cough. Are you taking any?

Yep, me too. Persistent cough since beginning of September, bringing up white phlegm. Get's a little embarrassing at times. Doctor told me I have an allergy! Not taking Ramipril.

Not what you're looking for?
