itchy feeling and cough???

[bgpolo1]

hi, i am a 16 yr old female and i swim for half the year and play water polo for half the year so im it relativly good shape...my asthma usually flairs up around once every two weeks during practice but its usually only bad once a year. i take albuturol (i cant sp it) and it usually goes away...

well lately i have been waking up with a mild cough and almost like an itchy feeling inside my chest (it feels like its on my lungs) about once a month. it doesnt go away unless i take a couple puffs of my inhaler...but when i do it will go away in about 10 minutes...

so i was wondering if anybody gets this or knows why i would wake up with my asthma bothering me(yes it has woken me up but it didnt before this started)

thanks
jess

I have a very bad chest cold at the moment and it feels like my left lunch has a bug bite. I'm going crazy with the feeling ...so glad I'm not alone

Thank you for your post, I too have itchy lungs I guess due to Asthma.  I have notice that if I take my inhaler before going into my gym pool it helps me out alot I use ambuterol.  The clorine in the pool especially if it's an indoor pool makes me wheeze, itchy lungs and dry cough.  Horrible.  As far as for the other posting I've read it helps I'm not alone and that I'm crazy for thinking I want to rip my lungs out because they itch, I don't smoke or have any pets....and I still have these flare ups.

Has anyone really gotten a good answer to why the itchy lungs? I have it, too. Started 2 weeks ago. Got bit badly by my dog and got cellulitis with fever and flu-like symptoms. The itching and dry cough started then, and has continued ever since. Was put on Augmentin for the infection, but didn't help the lungs. Have a clear chest xray and docs can't hear anything in my lungs. They are scratching their heads: am now on another antibiotic (just in case!), albuterol inhaler, antihistimine, cough suppressant, etc. -- nothing helps! Am really feeling depressed and uncomfortable--miserable. Never a smoker, don't have asthma--what the heck is it? Never had it before. Going to make an appt with a pulmonologist.

Thank goodness i am not the only one with itchy lungs.  I have been to the doctor a hundred times.  They said i had bronchitis so they started me on avelox.  About two weeks later, i started having trouble breathing and started running a temperature.  I was hospitalized and found out i had pleursey.  They put me on a zpack for five days.  Two weeks later, my insides are itching like crazy! My itchies are coming from the front more than anywhere else!  I, too, feel like i could rip my lungs out to give them a good scratching.  I am puzzled and dont kno what to do now!
