What Causes Cough Along With Chest Discomfort And Heartburn?
I ve had what I thought was an upper respiratory/head cold for about 4-5 weeks now. Most symptoms have subsided, except for the cough. Typically, I have an extended period of cough caused by post-nasal drip with a cold, but the last several days, I ve had a heavy discomfort in the center of my chest, almost continuous heartburn and shortness of breath when talking. Walking pneumonia??

You have problem of chronic cough and chest discomfort that may be because of respiratory infection or other problems.
Take one chest x ray for further diagnosis. Any lesion can seen in chest x ray.
After sputum culture test start antibiotics course under doctor's suggestion .
Consent a physician for further diagnosis.
Proper physical examination and investigation give exact idea.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you..
