Hello! I am newly diagnosed with sevete pulmonary arterial hypertension. Therefore, I extremely short of breath & fatigued. I have also been diagnosed with CREST Syndrome & am waiting to get into the Rheumatologist. Several weeks ago, I started having dull aching pain in my mid back; right side. I, then developed a dry hacking cough without any fever, nasal congestion or sore throat. I cough so hard that my body is beginning to hurt; my neck excrutiatingly so. Do I have just cause to be concerned about pulmonary fibrosis??

Thank u for consulting health care magic.you have to consult the rheumatologist as early as possible because it is a very serious problem. U r cough is due to pulmonary artery hypertension. Don't try to suppress the cough by using any cough syrup. Because suppressing the cough will end in big danger.don't delay in consulting the rheumatologist
