Suggest Treatment For Chronic Cough And Breathing Difficulty
Ive had a cough for about 3 months, at night when I sleep and move around it seems to get worse I will cough so many time I cant catch my breath, my throat sometimes feels like im coughing up toothpicks... I have recently cut my smoking by more than half 6-7 cigarettes a day.

Hello,
You have a history of smoking. So you are more prone to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or pulmonary fibrosis-like condition.
I strongly suggest you investigate with...
_Digital chest x ray
_spirometry
For that, you can consult nearby pulmonologist for detailed evaluation.
You can revert back with reports once done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
