What Causes Severe Chest Pain And Asthma Symptoms?

Hi, I am a 39 yrs old female, experiencing severe chest pains, asthma symptoms. It is no cardiac chest pain. I was told it might be GERD but I do not have heartburn, or regurgitation whatsoever. Asthma had not been controlled for 10 months now with albuterol and dulera treatment.

GERD may not always appear with heart burn. It may be occult. U may stop dulera and inspite of that u should use fluticasone propionate 250 mcg+formoterol fumarate dihydrate 6 mcg inhaler. Apart from this u should also use montelukast(10mg) tab at night for 2 wks. Also take ur inhaler medicines with a spacer only. Don't take directly.
