Hello,
Your breathing problem may come from the heart or the lungs. You are taking medications for asthma, and I suggest you do cardiac sonography to see the mitral valve and probably a 24h ECG Holter monitoring to see the cardiac rate.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
