Could The Persistent Cough Be Due To Angioplasty?
I had an angioplasty with two stents in the left anterior decending coronary artery 4 days ago, and tonight I developed a persistent cough and had to get out of bed. I' ve taken hot tea and honey and the cough has somewhat subsided. I believe the cough is related to the angioplasty.

If the function of your heart is on the lower side , some congestion in the lungs may cause breathlessness particularly when you are sleeping . its best that you consult your doctor so that he can examine you , as the above symptoms should not be neglected
