Can CHF And Pneumonia Cause Fits Of Coughing?

Yes, you may answer my question. My dear husband is having fits of coughing; he says he can hear the rattle of the mucus in his chest. He is recovering from a heart attack that happened a year ago; he was diagnosed as having CHF. I asked him if he knew what pleurisy was, and he said no. Had a pneumonia shot also while in the hospital. What can this be?
