Persistent Cough
Chronic Cough
A persistent cough that produces white or pink mucus can be a sign of heart failure. This occurs when fluid builds up in the lungs due to the heart’s inability to pump effectively, making it a significant cardiac symptom that requires immediate attention to prevent severe complications.
Wheezing
Wheezing or having a cough that doesn’t go away with typical treatments should be evaluated for heart-related causes, especially if it persists long after a COVID-19 infection has cleared up, to rule out cardiac issues and ensure appropriate treatment is administered in a timely manner.
