Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my brother has a dry cough that seems worse when he is stressed or moves around a lot. also he has trouble breathing and when he bends over a little even he has a wheezing that sounds almost like a whistle. he has had this for at least two months now. cough medicine does not seem to help. he does not smoke and never has. any ideas on what this might be? does not cough at nite when sleeping.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms seem to be related to anxiety. To exclude any pulmonary problem you should an x ray. For the anxiety he can use chamomile tea or Valerian tea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
