D,
I totally understand the annoying cough thing. I have had that for
several years now. I've been diagnoised with bronchial asthma to
chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder(reminding u that I am only 20!).
It helps for me to prop my head up at night and drink plenty of fluids.
I too have some sort of heart murmor. Just to be safe, I would mention
this to your physician that is doing the Holter monitor. I doubt that
there is a connection....it just could be the dry air.
