What Causes Dry Cough With Feeling Of Fullness In Chest?

two months a go i started having an annoying dry cough and now have chest fullness like there is air and i belch a lot. at first i thought it was from wating but i do it even if i don't eat or drink anything. I feel palpitations like a heavy abnormal heartbeat and i hooked up to an ekg and when i feel full or air i have bigeminy and then belch and it feels better for about 30 seconds and then comes back. can't lay on left side because i feel the same heartbeat feeling on that side. always have to lay on back or right side. goes on all day long. I am 44 about 150 pounds and no other history of anything.

there are several conditions associated with lungs and heart that may lead to dry cough-
1-asthma -it is usually result of an allergy
2-acute bronchitis caused of infection of bronchi
3-pneumonia
4-less commonly- congestive heart failure.
i would suggest you to get your chest x ray done .
meanwhile you should take following medicine-
tab levofloxacin 500mg once daily for 15 days.
tab pan 40 once daily before breakfast.
take adequate amount of fluid and stay hydrated.
thankyou and take care
