Ok weird you are the first person that has like laid out your symptoms and they are just like mine. I also find that when I wake up coughing at night, I am in a sheet dreanching night sweat. I dont have health insurance so I cannot really afford to go to the doctor for this. Mine has been going on slightly longer for about 7 months
Hi, did you find out what was wrong? I have had the same thing, the rattling in the chest followed by cough and coughing up stuff. I have really bad riht rib pain as well, nightmare as I have been to the doctors over four times and once was in so much pain I went to A and E. I'm actually up now because of the rib. The cough otherwise is annoying but doesnt hurt.
