What Causes Cough And Shortness Of Breath?

Thanks
I have a persistant cough for more than a year now. I went to the doctors, and they initially thought i had allergies or something like that. My cough was persistant- the mucus is clear, here and there i have nasal bleeding(not so often) my blood work came out ok, my breathing test was bad so the doctor gave me 2 inhalers that seemed to have worked for a month- (the reason i returned to the doctor this time is that i had shortness of breath in several ocassions)i went for a CT scan and came out ok- the lung function test which i did today did not come out very well- and i am waiting for the results. To add, i also have hipertension. What can this condition be?
