Hi, You have two problems one is coughing with expectoration and left shoulder pain with numbness of body. Do not worry, just coughing or shoulder pain or numbness are not a sign of stroke.  Your coughing could be due to upper respiratory infection or infective bronchitis. You will require antibiotics (quinolones or accolades or cephalosporins)with expectorants and decongestants and other symptomatic treatment. For your shoulder pain and numbness, you must consult your physician for ECG and other cardiac blood markers to rule out any heart problem. Continue asthma treatment what you take.
