I have been coughing, especially at night, and coughing up phlegm. Last April, I was diagnosed with pneumonia with a possibility of emphysema and/or components of COPD. In November 2016, I visited the Mayo Clinic and met with a pulmonary doctor who said the x-rays I had brought with me indicated that my lungs were clear and that I never had pneumonia and that there were no signs of emphysema or COPD. A couple of months ago, I wound up in the ER with difficulty breathing. Again, the x-rays came back clear. The doctor prescribed a home nebulizer and an inhalation solution of Ipratroium Bromide (.5 mg) and Albuterol Sulfate (3 mg). In the last week, I have used the nebulizer almost every night to curb the cough and phlegm production. As an aside, I have not smoked for about twenty years, am 61 years old, female, average weight, and pretty good health. I was diagnosed with acid reflux a few years ago so I quit coffee, soda and caffeine completely, changed my eating habits going more organic, little to no processed foods. I decided to forego Omeprazole and instead take a digestive enzyme with each meal. I have high cholesterol and about three years ago I traded my statin in for CardioAuxin (a niacin supplement). Other medications/supplements I currently take are Vitamin D, a multi-vitamin, Triamterene HCTZ (hypertensive) and a garlic pill. My job as a financial advisor is high-stress and I have not had an exercise regimen for several years now. I am torn. Do I quit taking my supplements and see if my breathing improves? Do I go back in to see a Pulmonary Specialist ASAP? It does seem that that nebulizer helps and now I may be able to lay down and go to sleep finally. I want to get to the bottom of this and don't have a primary care physician any more. She went into teaching at a hospital and all I seem to get now are PAs who don't seem to have the time to be thorough. What do I do?
