Hello 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 .
