What Causes Coughing Up Stingy Phlegm And Breathlessness?
Coughed up stringy phlegm, had mild cough for 3-4 days previously... no fever. Woke up from deep sleep, hard to get breath, coughed up the stringy, or ropy, phlegm. I m just 20, very active, no health concerns, no weight problems...Was surprised by this,at a loss as to why it occurred.Thanks...
