What Is The Cause For Severe Cough And Breathlessness?

I was diagnosed with COPD 5 years back. Since February 2012 I have had severe cough and breathlessness. I had spirometry done 10 days back and was diagnosed having uncontrolled asthma. Now I have nasal blockage and am constantly breathing through my nose, which is causing severe discomfort.
