Mia has been off the vasodilator for a few days now and there is still no improvement with the coughing. She also had another syncope episode this afternoon. I'm not 100% convinced she is in CHF because the other times during the day she still seems to be doing fairly well. She hasn't been very active but she is still eating some and occasionally wanting to play. Perhaps the coughing had nothing to do with the new prescription. I'm not one to believe in coincidence but I would think being off the med would have at least shown some improvement if that had been the trigger. I just hate to believe there is yet another medical issue she has to deal with.

We did post a short video of the coughing spell. This is not the normal cough she had been experiencing from heart failure, this is a very deep hoarse cough.

I am so sorry ! Hopefully it is not CHF again and I holding on to the hope that she still eating and playing occasionally
what could that deep hoarse cough could be ?
Looking forward as you probably are for contacting the cardiologist tomorrow
In the meantime our prayers are for Mia and her well being
