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.
hey guys! so basically I am a 17 year old female and for the past couple years I have suffered severly with a chronic cough but whenever I cough I get bad chest pains and find it extremely difficult to breathe. Everytime I went to the GP I was put on a dose of steroids. The steroids would kick in in about 2 to 3 days and then the cough would disappear until the next month. Everymonth for about 4 months I was up in the GP being perscribed steroids until it happened again and I was admitted into hospital. At the hospital I was put on a drip and a nebuliser and some type of tablet which I think was for pain but I cant remember. A chest x ray was done and nothing showed. Im very concerned becuase I have been to 3 consultants and nobody knows whats wrong with me. Im in the middle of my leaving cert course and cannot have this going on throughout the year. Im worried something is wrong with me but nobody can solve it, what should I do? please help!
