Does Congesive Heart Trouble Cause Cough?
Does a person with congestive heart trouble always have a cough with it? My husband also has allergies, and when I married him five years ago he had developed some coughing and just in the last six months was diagnosed with congestive heart trouble. He is 83 years old. The doctor is considering a defibrillator. We socialize and do things. Please reply Donna

Though congestive heart failure can cause cough, but in case of husband, it could be because of his allergies. So make sure that along with heart medicines, he also takes treatment for his allergies.
