What Causes Cough In A Chain Smoker?

default
Posted on Sat, 24 Mar 2018
Question: Hi I’ve been smoking for quite a while now, started around 4 months ago I’m not heavy smoker, but I’ve recently noticed that I have this cough that won’t go away comes at night usually. I’ve also noticed that I don’t get erect easily anymore.
I stopped waking up with morning woods. I’ve been really concerned about it
I’m only 16 years Old. Should I be worried, is there a diet I can follow to help me. Should I be talking viagra? Anything I should be worried about please help me but I’ve also recently drank alcohol. And there was a day where I smoked over 15 cigs

Brief Answer:
stop smoking and alchool and everything will come back normal again

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in HCM

I can understand your concern

According to the history you provide and especially your young age i strongly recommend you to stop smoking and alchool too.

The cough is directly related to smoking in this condition but the impotence is mostly due to alchool consumption.

The only thing you can do is quitting smoking and alchool. I don't recommend you to take viagra because of its serious side effects in your age.

Than try to do a healthy lifestyle and a healthy diet too,with a lot of water, physical activity, vegetables.

That are that you should do. You are in time and after you will come back in normality for sure.

Take care and feel free to ask me again

Brief Answer:
Spirometry test

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

No fortunately there is no chronic bronchitis in a 16 year patient.

However the first step in chronic bronchitis in smokers is stop smoking and the next is the Spirometry test. If it comes negative than nothing else to do if positive than you should take inhalers (like Ventoline)

Brief Answer:
you should consult your doctor in that scenario

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,

If you feel that your concern is already there for some time then to be safe and sure consult your doctor and s/he will examine your clinical situation.

In my knowledge, there is no diet as such to improve penis erection. However, always try to eat home-cooked foods rich in protein, fresh vegetables and avoid junk foods as much as possible.

Do not worry so much just consult your doctor.

Regards

Dr.Jolanda
