Visit your Chest Physician.... he will evaluate and rule out the cause of mild PAH, And for asthma and cough... you should get your inhaler technique checked by your doctor.... as improper technique is most common cause of uncontrolled asthma... Get your sleep study done if your doctor advice to do so..after clinical evaluation... Some other blood investigation and sos HRCT chest ...in plan.
