What Could Cause Severe Cough With Clear Yellow Mucus In A Patient Who Has Undergone Triple Bypass?
I had a triple bypass in March 2017. Just saw my cardiologist and one diagnosis was cardiomyopathy. I don t recall that diagnosis. Right now am coughing a lot and bringing up mucos. Some is clear and some yellow. When I had my bypass I don t recall anyone mentioning my as cardiomyopathy- They said my heart was still OK. What question do I ask my doctor?

Hi,
I can understand that you have undergone a Bypass surgery. By hearing the symptoms you are doing, it looks like you might be having a respiratory tract infection.
Is there any difficulty in breathing too? You should ask your cardiologist whether you should be started on an Antibiotic for the same. You should also ask whether you need an echo to be done again.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
