What Causes Recurrent Coughing Fits Along With Wheezing?
I have had dry debilitating coughing fits for two to three months now. Chest x-ray was clear. My Doctor wants me to have Spirometry test and CT scan. The irritation seems to be upper respiratory /throat and I can hear a wheezing sound in my throat when lying down. I use an asthma puffer but it doesn t seem to help much. I am 66 and work part-time in an office environment. Any thoughts? XXXX
