cough

Okay someone told me that a cough may be a result to a heart condition. As some of you know im 22 f and i have a pm. I also have a-fib and a rapid rate. I have had many ablations. Well I have now had this cough for a month and Im kinda getting worried. I havent had a cold and I havent passed this cough to anyone. This girl at work said it is prolly my heart! So that kinda scares me!! I called my heart doc today and left a message. But i dont have a family doc to go to! Does anyone know anything about this?? Thanks!

and I have a dry hacking cough,mostly at night when I go to bed. It's annoying but I keep a bottle of water on the nightstand & that helps. Hope you get an answer from your doc.

Ablations

Hi,
I may have to have an ablation and am curious about the procedure. If you have a minute, can you private message me and give me the heads up on what it's like. Scares the hell outta me.

Thanks a bunch,
Diane (60bpm)
