Cough
An excessive cough, particularly when the cough is dry and there is no phlegm or sputum, may be a cor pulmonale symptom. People may, however, also experience productive coughs, which can be accompanied by wheezing sounds when breathing. Some research suggests that coughing may be worse in cold weather.
Coughing caused by cor pulmonale typically worsens over time, and medicinal cough remedies may offer little relief. Occasionally, people may faint due to intense fits of coughing.4Towers, M.
