Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out asthma.
Since you are allergic to weeds and molds, asthma can be the cause for your chronic cough and chest pain.
You are also having bloated feeling. And asthma can aggravate reflux disease which can be the cause for your bloated feeling and central chest discomfort.
So get done PFT.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Antihistamine and anti allergic drugs combination is also helpful in your case.
For bloating, proton pump inhibitors are needed.
Since all these drugs are prescribed medicines, you need to consult pulmonologist.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
