Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Cough Along With Breathing Difficulty?
I have a 46 year old female, with a severe cough that produces a clear thick liquid like substance. The cough is so severe that she vomits from the gagging from this substance. After the coughing episode she is weak and breathing is shallow. Episodes start again when lying on either side,when level of activity is increased, and even when talking. Each episode lasts 5-10 minutes, at least three times a day.
Hi . Thanks for posting on hcm. In this situation I would advice to gey an x ray done as I suspect it could be a condition called copd or rarely related to heart. Better consult a doctor and get her examined thoroughly. Hope this helped you. Regards
