Suggest Treatment For Palpitation And Cough With Asthma
I have asthma, I have had a chronic cough for about 7 or 8 months. I also have been getting heart palpitations and was hooked up to a 24hr. monitor and was told that my heart would speed up for no apparent reason. I have a heart murmur as well, I haven't seen a specialiity or had any orther tests done. Is there anything to be concerned about the chronic cough?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The most common causes of chronic cough are: (1) post nasal drip - this is most common
(2)asthma
(3) GERD
Because you are asthmatic ,the likely cause is inadequate control of your asthma.
You may need to adjust your preventer medication (inhaled steroid). The dose may either need to be adjusted or a change in preventer made to a steroid/long acting agent combination.
I hope this helps
