Hi! Ive been coughing for a year now and I keep going to check ups but they said I have asthma.I have inhaler,nebulizer and all of the medicines that you take when you have asthma.lately I notice that climbing up the stairs I have a hard time breathing and even just walking on short distance.is there something wrong with my heart?Im afraid.
Hi ! Thank you for using Chat Doctor I would say that having only difficult breathing during walking or taking the stairs is not enough to say that you have heart problem. Usually I would say that a patient has heart problem When he /she experience chest pain (is the main symptom) with shortness of breath , sweating, severe weakness, fainting. The pain is like a pressure in your chest, sharp, tightness or squeezing. The symptoms your describe are more due to Asthma. I would advise you to check the Chat Doctor. Wish you good health. If you have any question please feel free to ask me.
