What Causes Persistent Cough With Swelling And Numbness In The Arm?

I cannot stop coughing. I ve been given antibiotic and mucinex dm that are not working completely (well, the mucinex) though there has been some relief. I have had a few isolated incidences of asthma in the past and this feels a bit like that. Also, the clinic I visited let me go with a blood pressure of 120 something over 90. I have never been over 90. the most 78. my left hand is swollen and there is some numbness in my left arm and hand. I am exhausted with coughing. Some relief comes with boiling water on the stove. I also have rheumatoid arthritis.

I think what you are doing is overreacting.Try & chill down a bit.swelling in your hands may be due to acute inflammation on Rheumatoid arthritis-you should take hydroquinolone 200 mg twice a day for that & for cough i think you can take alerfix-M tablet for 10 days.And about your bp ,Normal BP is 120/80 and its okay to have diastolic BP till or less than 90.also there are machine's errors many times along with some personal errors while measuring like cough too loose etc So dont worry about bp & get it checked once more it will definitely come below 90.
