A member asked:

I was wondering if someone coughing at night and producing brown mucus could indicate congestive heart failure or is this only with pink foamy mucus?

Cough: Heart failure is usually associated with whitish frothy sputum. Brown sputum can indicate infection. Have him check with his PCP. May need a chest x-ray.
