angles lift me up in the night so i can breath and cough

[universe]

I do not have the money to get the proper test nor any insur.  Angles wake me and lift me so i can breath.  I awake to gasping for air and go into a coughing  terribly. I have research these symtoms.  I may have an infection in my lower respitory.  I have tried everything. Natural medicine for it is all i can afford. it is really scary to wake up like this all the time. this has been going on since i have nto been about to get rid of a cold.  A dry cough for a long time,as first. now has turned into  flem.  Is this curable?

Hi, it really sounds like you've been going through one heck of a time.  Are you a smoker or were you?  If you were, then this may be copd with chronic bronchitis  Is the phlegm any other color besides clear?  If so, then that does point to an infection.  Regardless, you really need to be seen by a doc at least for an x-ray.  If you go to the hospital, they can NOT by law turn you away.  They will let you make very small payments, whatever you can afford.  Some hospitals will drop the bill totally, if you show proof of income.  Please don't hesitate to go, they may even know of some resources for you to tap into.  Call your local health dept for some advice-they probably know of somewhere you can go to see a doc.

Best Wishes
