Hello! My boyfriend has a stiff upper back, with knots that feel like a bone, and a pretty bad cough. So much so, that he can t breathe and it stops him in his tracks and takes a few moments after coughing to compose himself. Very rarely it produces phlegm. He does stump grinding for a living so he is constantly huntched over. He has had these back/cough symptoms for as long as I ve know him (8 years) and they are not stopping. He has a massage chair that he sits on in the morning and lays on a long roller back stretcher thing at night. (Which I feel are band aides and clearly not root cause fixing) He went to the ER last summer for a tick bite and the dr wanted to take x-rays of his lungs and it showed elongated bronchial tubes. I don t know what else to do. I keep telling him get it checked and he won t go. Any advice? Thank you Jen
