Hello

There can be many reasons for your cough including early asthma , bronchitis, your drugs , or your heart condition and it is impossible to tell without examining you.I would like you to meet a chest physician , he may start you on bronchodilators like salbutamol, which may help you.You may also need to change your tablets , please meet your doctor.
Thanks
