I've been dealing with this really persistent cough for the past month, and it gets really bad at night. It's to the point where I have trouble breathing because of the cough. Ive had an X-ray and blood tests, but everything came back normal. Why does my breathing stop at night because of the cough? What's going on?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 60 and has been having shortness of breath (SOB) when she's stressed. The doctor found moderate lung restriction from her PFT report and gave her a Butamate 400 inhaler to use for 8 weeks. All her other test resultsblood work, ECG, echo, and x-raycame back normal. Im just wondering if the inhaler is something shell need to use forever or if this is just a temporary thing?

I'm an asthma patient and I've been taking medicines like Montek LC and Seraflow 250mg rotocaps. I started this routine because of frequent asthma attacks since October 2014. Initially, I took them every day for three months, but then moved to only taking them when an attack happens. Lately, I've been having other issues like significant belly swelling, lots of gas, breathing problems, and constipation. Could you please help me understand these symptoms and suggest what I should do?
