I am 66 years old and weigh 360 at 6’2” food helps stops my coughing
i have had chronic coughing for over 8 years. I have been diagnosed with Asthma, High Blood pressure, depression, nasal drip, and a tendency to gage slightly (clearing breath) with out cause.
My worst symptoms are feeling as though my lower breathing tube is filling with flam. I have a very difficult time coughing it up,, sometimes to faintness and sore throats.
Medicine interactions may be part of the problem ie Toprel
I have seen many doctors. The coughs start with an allergy, cold, flue, or other irritant. It occurs usually in nov though march. It lasts for 3,4 or 5 weeks. coughs are sometimes very painful usually when i cannot cough flam... that is the biggest issue. dry cough to clear lower cough center of flam or what feels like flam.
I feel like sticking a tube down my through and suctioning it up. This very difficult to live with. i have had the bought of pneumonia and a number of flus and colds and allergy attacks during this time.. 4 of which i had to go to the emergency room with. treatment was inhalers through a mask. Not sure it worked.
