How Can Chronic Cough And Chest Pain Be Treated?

Good evening, I am F 52, Caucasian. #1 I came down with the awful head/chest cold 5 weeks ago. I have a chronic cough that is unproductive, starting to hurt my chest and lungs, still have the green yuck from the sinus cavity. #2 fullness in the upper abdomen, burping, a feeling of full stomach....except it is in the diaphragm area (hiatial hernia)? sometimes feels like a baby foot under rib cage, or a balloon being forced thru a small hole.

The treatment of your condition depends on the cause.From your description of symptoms, possible causes may include:
-Respiratory pathologies
-Digestive problems like GERD, hiatal hernia
-Liver/gallbladder pathologies
-Cardiovascular problems
I will suggest you see the Doctor for examination and investigations.Tests that may include: chest x ray, plane abdominal film, abdominal ultrasound, An esophagram (barium swallow), Endoscopy, ECG.
Treatment will depend on cause.
