What Can Cause Severe Cough Along With Tremors And Dizziness?

Hi, I have had a cough for 2 weeks, I was given antibiotics to begin with as thought was chest infection - also given a preventer inhaler, as no improvement 8 days ago, I went back to GP - sure not infection, gave me steroid tabs to take for 3 days as said was asthma again - no improvement - now today I cannot stop coughing, I feel shakey and a little dizzy, and my heart rate is increased.. what could it be?

Hello,

Steroids often cause neurologic symptoms of a mild degree. Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, inflammation persists for weeks after infection.

Infection with atypical bacteria such as whooping cough, will not be treated by all antibiotics and will give a non-productive cough.

On the other hand, asthma, allergies, tumours, growths, ACE inhibitors, dust and inhaled substances are some of many things that cause lung inflammation without infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
