Hi,
Thanks for your question,
You are a patient of congestive heart failure.
You have to take all medication properly and should do frequent monitoring by cardiologist.
Cough in CHF means oedema in the lungs also, which can cause respiratory distress.
Dont worry , with proper medication you can lead a healthy life.
Consult with an cardiologist to determine present situation and drug doses.
wishing your good health.
