Improve: Are you referring to Ipatropium a drug that is used to treat asthma. If you are yes it can cause difficulty breathing as a serious side effect of that medication also you may have fast heart rate and other anticholinergic side effects

Yes: reflux can cause asthma like symptoms with wheezing and problems with breathing - you need to address your reflux and see if that improves your symptoms. Also, a respiratory doctor can do testing to see if you have asthma
