Brief Answer:
Uncontrolled GERD can also cause cough.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You should definitely get done 2d echo to rule out heart diseases because you also have hypertension along with asthma and COPD.
Sometimes, uncontrolled GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can also cause cough, acidity and central chest pain.
And if GERD is not controlled then this can be the reason for your uncontrolled cough.
So please let me know
1. Do you have belching?
2. Do you have burning epigastric pain?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
