Suggest Treatment For Chronic Cough With Thick Green Sputum And Shortness Of Breath, Wheezing At Night

I have a chronic cough with thick green sputum and shortness of breath, wheezing at night! My doctor has ruled out COPD. Today, they say restrictive lung disease! My mom had sarcoidosis, is it heredity? My physician says no! So he wants me to see a pulmonologist!

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hello,

If I were your doctor I would order a chest scan for you and some blood tests such as full blood count and CRP calcemi and ace. If two last are positive than probably your chances to have sarcoidosis is high. Please see a pulmonologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
