Need Medication For Persistant Cough,shortness Of Breath & Bloating Of Stomach

My mom is 79 and relatively healthy. She has had shortness of breath, very fatigued, bloated and very full feeling and very persistent cough. Her last b p was 160/98 and she had a chest xray that didn t show anything. She has a doctors appointment with her family doctor later this week but should she seek attention sooner?

Hello!

Thank you for trusting HCM.
As per history given by you she has got some chest or cardiac problem. Proper history with some needed investigation would have given some better advice. I advice you to take her to nearest physician as soon as possible.

Regards!
