Hey,
At your age, the risks of coronary disease are very very less. So you need not to worry about that. Still you should have your echo done to rule out other cardiac abnormalities.
Symptoms which go after nebulization, you should have a PFT(pulmonary function test) done to see for any respiratory disease including asthma. If that is so than the medicines will be according to the diagnosis.
Thanks
