What Causes Irregular Heart Rate And Cough?
My husband's heart is beating loudly and seems to be beating irregularly. I took his blood pressure and it was normal. His heart rate was 102bpm. He also has an urge to cough periodically. He's had these episodes happen before and the cough has helped at times. Do we need to be concerned? His father died from heart disease and started having an irregular heart beat when he was 35.

After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that considering his symptoms and family medical history of heart disease he might be facing cardiac rhythm disease which needs proper evaluation to avoid life threatening events. It's recommended for you to get an ECG, echocardiography and a HOLTER (ambulatory ECG Monitoring) done for minimum 48 hours and consult a Cardiologist for further management.

Hi,
Heartbeat is normal or abnormal can only be known with the help of EKG.
If this is just creating the doubt does not have any associated symptoms lime severe chest pain dyspnea (shortness of breath).
Cough symptoms could be due to allergic condition and it may not increase the heart rate or affect the heart but heart disease can cause a cough (Valvular heart disease) still condition can be thought for EKG and ECHO.
