I have a cough n it really stays w me n I thought it was COPD,my Dr.said it was COPD! I choke n gag alot, n I use a inhaler! Coz it catches my breathe sometimes! Hugs n prayers to u !
Generally I have chest pain around the sternum, feeling the lift and release of every breath. One of my meds, an anti anxiety, causes coughing. It's much, much worse at night. If my dose is increased the coughing subsides for awhile but then returns again. Believe in my case it's chemical dependency. I now refuse increasing the dosage and tough it out as other anti anxiety meds have not worked for my anxiety.
I did,I go to have my blood work done every 3 mths! No Thyroid but the Dr.did say it COPD along w ephesema n bronchitis! Thyroid runs in my family so I do watch it,carefully...I don't need or want anything else!
