Kindly take her to hospital immediately as possible. Cough can be due to many reasons. Covid or non covid related also. But since she is having pulmonary (lung ) and cardiac complications, it is best to take her to hospital and get checked immediately.

Get HRCT chest done immediately and give sample for RTPCR too.
If the oxygen level is dropping get her admitted in the hospital for further management.
