What Causes Continuous Cough After Echo Stress Test?
I had a Echo stress test done yesterday and afterwards I started coughing and for 30 min coughed like i had cold. It was a croupy, crackling sounding cough. Prior to the test I do cough occassionally, but nothing like yesterday. Could it be related to the test? Thanks for an answer.

Hi,
Stress echo is a test in which we give stress to the heart to see its effect and how the heart responds to stress. It will not cause such coughing as you are telling. So don't worry the persistent cough is not a side effect of the test. It can be because of respiratory infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks,
Dr Sameer Maheshwari
