CHF Patients with CHF may cough but also have other symptoms and signs such as dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea, rales on lung examination, peripheral edema, raised jugular[online.epocrates.com]
Pulmonary Edema
[…] are often noted during normal pregnancies, the potential for PPCMP should be considered if these symptoms are excessive and/or comorbid paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea and orthopnea[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Associated symptoms included cough, weakness, expectoration of froth, chest discomfort, orthopnea, wheezing, hemoptysis, and dizziness.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] with no orthopnea.[edm.bioscientifica.com]
Pericardial Effusion
If pericardial effusion symptoms do occur, they might include: Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing (dyspnea) Discomfort when breathing while lying down (orthopnea)[mayoclinic.com]
The pressure from the outside causes the blood to pool back and accumulate in the lungs which causes the symptoms of orthopnea and dyspnea.[pericarditispain.info]
These include: Shortness of breath (or dyspnea) Difficulty breathing in a lying down position (orthopnea) Chest pain: This pain is usually located right behind the sternum[pericarditispain.info]
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
[…] alveolar septae more common in middle-aged men, possibly related to collagen vascular disease, with positive 'rheumatoid' serology Clinical Aggressive–rapid onset of dyspnea, orthopnea[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Pleural Effusion
[…] condition that has caused the effusion.Symptoms of pleural effusion include: Chest pain Dry, nonproductive cough Dyspnea (shortness of breath, or difficult, labored breathing) Orthopnea[my.clevelandclinic.org]
Mitral Valve Stenosis
Reduced cardiac output characteristically produces fatigue, dyspnea, orthopnea, and cyanosis. Surgical correction of the defective valve may be necessary.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
As stenosis intensifies Dyspnea may be encountered at rest and may evolve to include orthopnea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea.[pathwaymedicine.org]

Clinical features Rapid exacerbation of symptoms of HF (see symptoms of left heart failure and symptoms of right heart failure ) Pulmonary edema with: Acute, severe dyspnea and orthopnea[amboss.com]
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Institute of Medical Sciences, Ansari Nagar, New Delhi-110029, India History: A 23 year old male presented with increasing dyspnea, abdominal distension, pedal edema and orthopnea[scmr.org]
When the legs are elevated at night, the fluid redistributes centrally causing pulmonary edema resulting in orthopnea (dyspnea while laying flat) or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea[healio.com]
Congestive Heart Failure
CASE REPORT: A 35-year-old woman presented to the ED with a 2-month history of shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion, decreased exercise tolerance, and orthopnea.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
