It's an easy way to examine what's going on.

Go to your GP, ask to register an EKG, and cough when the monitoring is on.

If the EKG only reveals sinus tachycardia, the reason is probably stimulation of the autonomic nerve system when you cough. If it turns out to be a "real" arrhythmia, the cause can be changes of pressure and filling of the heart.

Anyway, a heart rate of 130 is almost never dangerous in itself.

My question got posted before I finished asking it!!

Hello!

I have had a chronic cough for the past month, and every single time I cough, my heart wants to race out of my chest! It elevates up to about 130 bpm every time I cough, and then it takes a good 5 minutes to calm back down!!

I have had an ECG, an echocardiogram, chest x-ray, holter monitor, event monitor, stress test! All are apparently clear! But I'm so afraid to cough!! Anyone else ever had this bizarre problem?
