I read online that it could be a heart worm? Is that possible?

Otherwise he is fine. Eats, poops, sleeps.
It could be any number of things, including kennel cough or dog flu. Heartworms is also a possibility. You definitely need to see a vet to have it checked out. Here is an article from webmd that lists some of the possibilities: https://pets.webmd.com/dogs/coughing-dogs-causes#1
