What Could Be The Reason For Consistent Cough Worsened With Exercising?
Hello,
I've had a consistent cough for about four months now. I'm am currently deployed and it started while I was in pre-deployment training. I haven't been sick or anything like such. Its othing major but it tends to worsen when I exercise. Throughout the day I won't notice it much ... typically only when I'm more out of breath. I workout at night and it is only weightlifting .. this is when I notice it most. Just wanting some clarification on what it is ... haven't consulted anyone about it yet. Thank you.
