A member asked:

Can a post nasal drip related cough be mistaken for a moist cough of congestive heart failure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: The cough of incipient or very early congestive heart failure can be dry and nagging and occur while the patient is lying flat in bed. In flagrant or advanced congestive heart failure the cough may be more"moist"sounding but by this time the patient is usually sitting upright with labored breathing.
