Congestive heart failure

[Bobbie915]

I had a triple by-pass in 2008. After a lung function test at GP surgery in 2014 my health record showed I had congestive heart failure. None of the doctors I have seen have told me about this. Now I have developed a permanent cough and have been told it’s because of fluid on my lungs.

Any help tips would be appreciated.

Hi Bobby

After having CABG my Breathing was Quite Poor so GP / Practice Nurse carried out the Full trip of Breathing/Lung Tests one thing the GP was looking for was that my Lungs had fully Re Inflated as they let them down during the By Pass ( not sure about terminology ) lol

I have read in the past it's quite possible to get a Heart Related Cough not sure about the route it takes etc maybe someone will be along who knows more about it. I have a pretty permanent cough so it may be due to Heart !!!
