A member asked:
I heard that coughing is a bad sign of the heart. but i have a cough that is not constant (i may cough once a day or twice only), so should it be a concern?

There are many other possible causes for an infrequent cough, the best to assess in case it becomes an issue would be your primary care doc.

The frequency of cough you described is not a cause for concern. If it worsens, you get phlegm or breathing difficulty, see a doctor.
