Left rib discomfort chronic cough
Treated for bronchitis twice at holidays and still coughing and clearing my throat. Now have left side rib discomfort. Taking Prilosec as dr said maybe refux. Nothing seems to help. Chest xray clear. Blood work was good. What should I do next? I'm at my wits end and worried. Any ideas or suggestions welcomed!
Have a nuclear heart stress test done. I had constant coughing in December. Went to ER and they said I probably had pneumonia and they treated me with antibiotics. One doctor suggested I have a stress test done which I did several weeks later to find out I had a 99% blockage! My earlier blood work and EKG had shown no signs of distress. They immediately placed two stents in my LAD and when I woke up I found it odd but my cough had subsided completely. I am not a doctor and don't know medically how that would have caused constant coughing but I'm happy to report the cough gone and on the road to recovery!
