Just a cough? Or should I be concerned?

2018-07-04 03:45:12
I am a 22 year old female who is a dancer (normally low resting heart rate and pretty healthy) I do suffer from a small arrhythmia and episodes of SVT when I am dehydrated. Four days ago I developed a cough and some rather severe chest congestion with no fever, runny nose headache etc. But I have been having palpitations, having a history of heart issues I am very familiar with the sensation. The cough has not gotten worse, but it hasn't gotten better... should I be concerned?
