Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Your history of having right bundle branch block & Aortic root dilatation
... with present complaints of dry , non productive cough/swelling on fingers & ankle are suggestive of impaired circulation due to heart problem.
I would advise for a consultation of your cardiologist for any needful investigations , pin pointing the diagnosis & specific treatment. This would control the problem.
