Is my coughing a heart issue?

Female (31). I've had a strange cough on and off for over a month. My question is: to those of you who have heart issues and had/have coughing, how does it feel?

Mine starts with a feeling at the center of the chest. When I breathe out it feels kinda tingly just like your throat would feel when you have a cough. And then I cough. I've also had episodes where I felt breathless in bed doing nothing.

Could it be the Heart??

I have a bit of a congested nose (one nostril is blocked and it may be related to a medication I'm on - Vyepti) but no other flu symptoms.

I have chronic migraines, occipital nevralgia, and recently what feels like a bit of gastroparesis.

Severe neck pain after Vyepti

Has anyone had severe neck pain right after their Vyepti infusion?

I had 100mg three months ago and it helped with my migraines but gave me occasional neck pain.

This time I got 300mg, it's the next day and the neck pain is severe. It's not so much the neck but the occipital region, between the skull and the upper neck. I feel like I can't take it anymore. I cannot take any NSAIDs because of gastrointestinal issues, and don't know what else to do.

Any advice or any reassurance that it will eventually improve?

I have no way of contacting my doctors and yesterday they just told me they won't give me any appointments anymore, they'll just see me for the next infusion. I don't even know which other specialist to look for, since it's not really migraine.
