As you are having asthma and also many heart related problems , so you should not ignore it .
All these symptoms are due to .
1 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis so in such type of condition I usually prescribe monteleukast + bambuterole 1-1 tablets for 5-6 days .
In your case there is throat infection also so you must take some antibiotics . In such cases I would like to use LEVOFLOXACIN 500 mg /day. Usually this causes dizziness in few cases , if such symptoms avoid or take proton pump inhibitors.
2 The next reason may be bronchiectasis as this is one of the most common cause . Diagnosis can be confirmed by sputum examination with X ray.
Since you are having multiple respiratory as well heart problems , so this is concerning . I would like to recommend you visit a physician and get his opinion if you didn't get relief from as above mentioned measures.
Good luck.
