10 Symptoms of Cardiomyopathy
Symptom #9: Coughing When Lying Down
Coughing is a very helpful reflex that can literally save our lives. The action can help to remove debris from our airwaves, ensuring we can breathe. Sometimes though, a cough can be a symptom that we are unwell and is a common symptom of cardiomyopathy.
When cardiomyopathy affects the circulation of blood, it can cause fluids to become backed-up in the lungs. This can trigger a natural reflex for us to cough, making coughing a common symptom of cardiomyopathy and other heart conditions. The cough tends to occur most often when the patient is lying down.
