Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, we should definitely rule out congestive heart failure (CHF) first.
Your symptoms (frothy sputum, cough, chest up position) especially at night are characteristic feature of CHF.
CHF causes pulmonary edema and this causes all the symptoms.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).. You may need diuretics and other cardiac supportive drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
