Sputum When Coughing
Frequent coughing, with sputum, can be a symptom of an illness. Here it depends on the color of the sputum. If the color is pinkish-white, it could indicate a build-up of fluid in the lungs. It’s a common warning sign of heart disease, according to the American Heart Association. Often it is just a simple cold, but to be really sure, you should consult a doctor. They will do tests to find out the cause of the discomfort and rule out the worst.

If you get up often at night to go to the toilet, you should try not to drink too much before sleeping, but it is important to keep an eye on the problem. If it doesn’t get better, a doctor should be consulted. According to the Mayo Klinik, an increased urge to urinate is a symptom of heart failure. To rule this out, you should go to the doctor for a check-up and not ignore it.
