Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, congestive heart failure (CHF) can cause productive cough and wheezing.
CHF causes pulmonary edema and this will cause symptoms.
So first get done 2d echo and stress test.
You may need diuretics and other supportive treatment.
Fluid restriction should be done to less than 1.5 liters in a day.
So don't wait at home.
Consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
