Cardiac Asthma – Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

Medications

If you are taking some medications and experiencing symptoms of cardiac asthma at the same time, then this might be the cause. Studies have suggested that ibuprofen and aspirin would lead to airway and lung constriction in many people. Similarly, ACE inhibitors used in blood pressure treatments might cause a dry cough that is quite similar to that in cardiac asthma. Beta-blockers, which can be taken to deal with migraines, high blood pressure, and heart issues, would constrict the lung airways. Make sure to ask your doctor before changing drugs, reducing dosage, or stopping. Otherwise, you might face some serious complications. [2]
