[|Human|] good evening doctor, my dad got discharged from the hospital yesterday, and day before yesterday he went through CAG. he got 2 stents. and today he was coughing and coughing, more of a dry cough. he s not bronchitic. i gave him luke warm water to drink and some candies which reliefs that itchy feeling. but im worried. im from a non medical field. is it because of the stent or it is just normal allergy? and i also read some articles about some cardiomapathy in which there is higher demand of oxygen but less supply which could lead to heart failiure. please guide me what exactly should i do?
[|AI|]  Hello, A constant cough in this setting definitely requires exclusion of:(1) heart failure, with other symptoms of shortness of breath, unable to lie flat and swelling of the legs; an ECHO would be required; (2) chest infection, a Chest X-Ray is definitely required; (3) medication induced cough, the common one being April or captopril or lisinopril group of Chat Doctor.  You must see your Cardiologist to exclude the above 3 common causes, as only after seeing a doctor will he be able to exclude other rarer causes or causes more relevant in the current setting. I hope this was useful. Best Wishes.
