Can Chest Pain Be Caused By Asthma?
I grew up in Arizona and in 2001 I started coughing and was short of breath. Found out I have asthma, am taking advair 100/50, do pretty well except in cold weather, I live in Tennessee now and the winters really hurt me. Ok, started having chest pains upper back pain, somtimes really bad, somtimes its liveable. Could this be from my Asthma or somthing else in my lungs? thanks beverly

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Asthma would not normally be associated with pain in the back.
The pain may be related to another lung issue or something else entirely.
Pain can be related to any structure in the area. This includes the skin (eg shingles), bones, muscles and other soft tissue and then underlying organs.
It is possible that the pain is related to one of these structures.
It would be best to visit your doctor for an assessment if it continues.
I hope this helps
