Nagging cough and shortness of breath are common symptoms of lung disease, but they can also be a common occurrence in people who have heart disease. The coughing gets worse when you’re lying down, so you often have to sleep on your side while propped up on pillows. The cough is usually very dry and also comes with other symptoms like fatigue and leg and feet swelling.
