What Causes Chronic Cough And Breathing Difficulty?
Past Couple of months I have had Respiratory Issues - uncontrollable Coughing, unable to catch my breath, Unable to take a Deep breath and or Xhale without out going into a coughing fit. I Seem to get pneumonia and Bronchitis Every few months since 2011 where there was a Bat infestation in the Building I worked. I have been being treated by my Family Doctor and now a Pulmonologist. I have been on massive doses of Steroids and Antibiotics however there has been no change in my Coughing and the Excruciating pain. The Pulmonologist has taken X-Rays nas CT scan and has found Black Spots in my left lung which is also exactly where my Pain is located - more specific behind my lower ribs.
Consult a pulmonologist and get evaluated.
Detailed evaluation is required to make a diagnosis.
As of now you can take expectorant cough syrups for symptomatic relief.
