Oh no!! I'm sooooo sorry about that - but glad you were able to find the problem quickly.
Sometimes when someone is in the emergency room they are looking for pneumonia and gross abnormalities - smaller problems might be missed.
I'm glad you kept bugging them - hopefully everything is resolved soon - let me know how you are doing!
Thanks Tammy, You were right . I saw my doctor he ordered ct scan top to bottom , results were a growth 31mmx12mm in or on my left upper lung was found. He sent an urgent e-mail to the hospital Oncology dept.for cancer
evaluation. what I don't understand before the ER made me use these puffers
they took a chest x-ray and I was told nothing wrong with my lungs, then 20 days later I have a tumor? Something does not add up!!!
Thanks again , take care

To test completely you should have full pulmonary function test and a methacholine challenge. This would give a full idea of what shape your lungs are in and if asthma is the correct diagnosis.
It is weird that the blue inhaler doesn't help at least a bit. How long did you try the brown inhalerÉ The increased coughing could have been from reducing the inflammation to the point you were able to move some of the mucus around (it can be so sticky that it seems like a dry cough).
There can be other causes of a dry cough - sinus drainage, GERD or acid reflux, or allergies that didn't respond to the meds you tried.
Try to continue eating healthy (lots of omega 3 and antioxidants will help) and exercising. Hopefully you and your doctor can get to the bottom of this, let us know if there are any other questions!
