This is my third coughing bout in 3 months.
Starts with sore throat, goes into chest and cough starts, very tight chest. After a week, no better, got antibiotic and codine. Seemed to loosen and phlem coming up, but now it's been 3 weeks and although better feeling in chest, I'm still coughing a lotin the day. Sleeping ok without coughing very much at night but I feel exhausted all the time.
Should I get tested for Asthma or Bronchitus?
I've never smoked.
Have had acid reflux problems, but not as bad now since I've had my gall bladder out. I am a 56 year (young) woman. I'm just sick of feeling rotten and coughing all the time. Sometimes I get a coughing spell and it won't stop for about a minute, then it's ok for 5 minutes until it starts again. My chest is hurting inside from all this coughing.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks and Happy Christmas!
