Hi,
Cough may be due to upper respiratory tract infection or bleed in to the lungs. Why are your using all above medications. Having any rheumatic heart disease or atrial fibrillation? In heart disease there's is fluid retention in the lungs lead to cough.
Digoxin rarely cause cough. So please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
