What Causes Chronic Cough, Chest Pain And Dizziness Despite On Flovent?

Yes please. I have had a bad cough since December. It causes involuntary urination, pain in my chest area, and dizziness and headache after a coughing spell. I have been given 2 z packs, then doxicycline. none have helped. i have been given prednizone for the pain in my ribcage area and that has helped. I am now on flovent and it does not help. I will see my doctor again next week, but I am concerned that i may have a much larger lung problem than just bronchitis or asthma. What should I ask the doctor? and what other problems could this be? thank you
