I  cant stop coughing I know its upper respiratory and I lose urine by the bucket, as many times as I cough. Its not just a drop its a lot!! I dont think Depends would help. I have to sit on top of three triple folded towels. Help please any ideas, I had a bladder repair 30 yrs ago can the heavy coughing have damaged the netting they put in?

only my opinion, but your doctor taking this too lightly. i agree with catie 207. It could either be asthma or copd. neither to be taken lightly by a doctor. i have copd. was diagnosed a year ago. i understand you dreading winter. last year i had pneumonia, bronchitis and pleurisy at the same time. took me 3 months to get over.  never had pneumonia nor pleurisy in my life. chronic bronchitis is part of copd. along with emphysema. you should be on some inhalers at least. that is my opinion anyway. even if it is asthma...you need to be on something. you got to watch these doctors at times. they will brush things off too easily. take care of yourself.
