[|Human|] I have got discomfort in the middle of my chest and middle of my back.  It feels like I want to click my back and the discomfort in my chest makes be dry cough.  Sometimes it feels a bit like what I imagine asthma may feel like.  I am 62 year old female and am on cholestorol tablets.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you are on cholesterol pills, we should first rule out heart diseases for your symptoms because heart diseases can cause similar chest and back discomfort. So get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Get done PFT to rule out asthma because early asthma can also cause similar symptoms. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) if asthma is there. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
