Bad cough lasting around 5months

Hey, im just wondering if anyone knows what is wrong with me right now as i have a cough that has lasted about 5 months, my cough just seems to appear randomly and sometimes ill have a bit of a hard time breathing, and if i exhale you can hear a bit of a weezing noise, when my cough gets bad i cough up this yellow-ish phlem and sometimes if its bad i cough till i puke a bit. i also have a bit of a runny nose and my right ear feels a little bit blocked up, thers no pain it just feels like its blocked.i have a doctors appointment tomorow but i have had many appointments before, they said it would go away, but when?

Thanks

HI...sounds like u may have post nasal drip with a reflux issue combined...do see ur dr and tell him all symptoms u have had.

Ask about acid reflux  as a result of PND.

Good luck

It sounds like you may be allergic to something. Has anything in your life changed (pets, food, environment)? Or another guess is bronchial asthma. Have your doctor's check you for that.

Hey I would try not to worry too much. I know easy said than done, right? I have been doing a lot of research as I too had a really awful cough (so bad that I tore my rib muscles and couldn't sleep for days!) but I found that a lot of the symptoms you are describing sound like they are coming from the increase amount of mucus our bodies are making - congestion, cold symptoms, coughing, phlegm are all joyous effects of our hormones changing...and my midwife agreed with this.  I can't say when it will go away - but I hope very very soon! Take care, hope this helped a little.
