Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Severe causes doesn't cause hole in heart. But a hole in heart can cause retention of fluids in lungs & cause severe cough. This severe cough aggravates with physical activity or lying down.
Severe cough with hole in heart should not be ignored, As this can be a worrisome symptom.
Rush to the emergency room
Refer to a cardiologist
Hope this information helps
