coughing

Avatar f tn I also have frequent coughing with mucus from my throat and have to blow my nose a lot after words. My doc says it's alergies but it all started about the time i was diagnosed with thyroid disease. I know this doesn't help but you are not alone.
Avatar m tn Have you been coughing a lot? It could be a number of things (i.e. dry air, excessive coughing or you may have an infection). If you are alarmed by it, maybe you should go get it looked at. Was it all blood or blood tinged?
Avatar n tn My theory is that my cough is caused by excessive secretion of phlegm/sputum by the mucus membranes in the respiratory tracts. Phlegm is produced naturally to catch and disable germs. I think I must be producing too much of it and this is causing me to cough. But I can't find anyone who can suggest a drug to get my body to produce less phlegm.
Avatar m tn This has been killing me in college as well as the workplace. Does anyone have any suggestions to what this maybe? Thank you.
20134645 tn?1490837581 d feel like my lungs were burning, shortness of breath, coughing fits, coughing up specks of blood, low grade fever and fatuige, also my White Blood Cell count was climbing up to 10.5, since I've been away from work, its down to 8.6. If I'm around paint fumes now, I have the same symptoms except for the specks of blood. I've done a PFT and a Methacholine Challenge which they stopped at the fourth level and it felt like I was around paint fumes again.
Avatar m tn It may be that the medication you are taking is causing the excessive phlegm and coughing. With me it was a side effect of Advair.
Avatar n tn Chronic sore throats can be allergic, viral or bacterial in origin. Many viral conditions like EBV (glandular fever) behave in this way with recurrent respiratory infections. Many parasitic infestations and worms increase the eosinophil counts in the blood and thus cause an increased risk of upper respiratory infections. Conditions like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, asbestosis and silicosis along with pulmonary fibrosis should be ruled out.
Avatar n tn In the meantime, consider what substances you might be allergic to in the home and workplace, substances in the house or in the heating/cooling system. Good luck.
Avatar n tn I had a piece of food lodged in the back of my throat for about 10 days. Had excessive coughing the whole time and finally was able to get it out. I went to ENT on day 15 and he didn't see anything but diagnosed me with LPR because I said I had pieces of that food still coming up and a tickle in my throat and chest when breathing. Prescribed omeprazole 40 mg twice a day.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with lupus in 1997, which has since been in remission. I have always had extreme sensitivity to dust, smoke, smog, strong smells etc., etc, wherein particles seemed to get into my throat and mucus builds up in throat and I cough for I seem to be about to choke. Recently, I ingested a piece of plastic and subsequently, bronchoscopy was done, and findings were normal, the plastic wasn't in my lungs.
Avatar m tn Has anyone tried using a netipot to relieve these symptoms? I have had the same problem for exactly a year now and it's really become unbearable. I feel a constant tightness in my throat and every time I swallow, I have coughing fits.Throughout the day I will have to clear my throat and i always have clear mucus to clear. It's made it to the point where I don't looking forward to meals anymore b/c I know what to expect.

1945565 tn?1330465775 At any workplace in order to be able to be granted a reasonable accommodation that would help you be able to perform the "essential function" (basic requirements of the job) you need to discuss this when you are hired with whoever is your manager or supervisor. However its best not to discuss it until you are hired so that it wouldn't work against you (although of course its not allowed to be part of the decision).

But beware I was informed by my doctor that my work could fire me if I brought in a note stating I couldn't do certain activites, I live in Missouri. I wound up having to go on disability leave and 4 months in they fired me. Because Missouri is a right to work state that don't need a reason to fire.
