Thank you for your question! Regarding your problem it doesn't seem that coughing can damage you heart valve function; the only problem could be with the chest sternal sutures of the surgical intervention; they sometimes exert problems like sternum dehiscence ad predispose to inflammation; a mucolytic drug such acetil cysteine would help to lighten your persistent cough. Hope to be of help to you Sheila.
