The symptoms of cough, leg cramps, and orthopnea are commonly associated with cardiovascular disease. Headache, dizziness, and tingling of body parts might be indicative of neurological problems. Diplopia and floaters may indicate eye problems, and pain and cramping in the lower extremities could be related to peripheral vascular disease. However, cough, leg cramps, and orthopnea are more specific to cardiovascular disease.
