Cough. Increase text size / Decrease text size | Print this page | Email this page. You may experience a persistent cough or wheezing (a whistling sound in the lungs or laboured breathing) due to your heart failure. The wheezing is similar to asthma but has a different cause in heart failure. Sometimes people with heart failure cough up phlegm, a thick, mucous-like substance that may be tinged with blood. This often happens with a lung infection (pneumonia). The coughing or wheezing is due to the fluid accumulation or congestion, in the lungs, which increases the effort of breathing.
It is only natural that heart disease patients want as many life-saving tools as possible at their disposal to prevent heart attacks. However, sometimes misunderstanding a tool can be most dangerous of all. You may have heard that coughing can stop a heart attack.
