What Causes Persistent Cough While Treating Asthma?

the problem could be stomach related too
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking HealthcareMagic,
I can understand your concerns,
As you explain the history theoretically concerning the lungs now you are healthy.
Don't worry about the cough and shortness of breath. Sometimes asthmatic patients develop a cough for a long period. For this, you can use your steroid inhalers (if you have them, like Fluticasone twice).
I don't think the pain might be related to the lungs, but even to the heart completely. As you explain the history, probably stomach problems, like reflux?
For excluding the heart issues, an ECG, an echocardiogram and cardiac enzymes help a lot. If they are positive we can say yes it's the heart causing this back pain and your cardiologist will advise you further.
If they are negative then stomach problems are likely and Omeprazole orally once daily capsule before breakfast may help.
I wish you a fast recovery.
Take care and feel free to ask me again
Regards
Dr.Jolanda
