Dry cough and uncomfortable feeling when lying in bed (heart disease)

[v_andrewsetiawan]

Hi, i wanna ask a question related to heart disease. My father (54 yo) has been diagnosed before with heart enlargement in around 2015. His blood pressure, cholesterol level and uric acid level were quite high at that time ( i don't know exactly how high was it). Then he came to see the doctor and the doctor gave him medications (one of it called 'micardis'). After since, my father blood pressure and cholesterol level turned normal but the uric acid is still a bit higher than normal. However, in these last two years he has been having a dry cough which is quite often happened during a day. He also often feels uncomfortable when he's lying in bed, so usually he would add some extra pillows to make it more comfortable. But, fortunately he is not having any chest pain, shortness of breath, arrhythmias, ankles or wrist swellings. Recently, he went to the doctor to do a monthly checkup, the doctor said it was okay and my father was getting better because his ECG result was good (his other health status were also good and normal except his uric acid level that was a bit high) and when i asked what about his cough, he said that this has nothing to do with my father's heart bcs all of my father's heart status were okay. But i'm just worried of his coughing, is it really okay to have these two symptoms happen to you everyday (dry cough and uncomfortable feeling when lying in bed) and does it really have nothing to do to your heart? Thanks
