Sublingual (under the tongue) vitamin B12 - 1000mcg daily is highly recommended for see if this improves your chronic unexplained cough. I use sublingual spray which i prefer; no waiting for the sublingual tablet to dissolve.
Try 2000 IU vitamin D3 daily for asthma and mucus build up. If i forget to take my vitamin D3 supplement, i find myself clearing my throat due to excess phlegm.
I have had Chronic Bronchitis since the end of May. I've been taking antibiotics, prednisone, symbicort, breathing treatments every 6 hours & cough syrup with codeine. I have been in the hospital twice. The symptoms have not gotten better. I went to my Pulmonary doctor yesterday and was given more prednisone and symbicort. I have chest pain when coughing, bending and last night I was awakened by chest pain (I was sleeping on my back).
My cough can happen at any time, on occasion I can be at my desk and all of a suden start coughing for a minute or two all the while trying to cough something up. Once I do it feels better but can quickly come back. Exercise triggers coughing but I may be able to workout for 15-30 minutes before and then when done start to cough. Again, I cough hard until something comes up and then less so...also laughing makes me cough...
Beta blockers are well known for causing chronic cough. Other heart conditions and medications can cause chronic cough as well.
If you don't get relief from the cough with continued use of the Advair and Aciphex, you may want to see an allergist. They are better trained to treat chronic cough. Some things you may want to try at that point are different medications specifically Dulera or Symbicort instead of the Advair and adding allergy medications and nasal sprays.
But the cough and the asthma were still there, so they put me on another Medrol course, and Levaquin. The cough cleared up for the most part, as did the wheeze, but the meds had serious side effects – I stopped the Levaquin after 8 doses, because it was making me depressed and exhausted, which I still am. I am also still coughing a bit (producing a little mucus), and feel short of breath, but my lung function is at 92% and I have optimal peak flow (475).
My maintenance medication was recently changed from Symbicort 160/4.5 once a day to Asmanex HFA 200mcg due to high blood pressure and heart rate issues with the Symbicort.
I'm on day 3 now and ever since I started Asmanex I've been experiencing a productive and incessant cough. The coughing is worse immediately after using the Asmanex.
Hello, I've been having breathing problems since Feb 2016. My full body immune system crashed when my stress level spiked. I've developed a type of chronic cough which has lasted to this day.
I have not had a family doctor due to bureaucratic issues in the past 5 years, and my last medical check up was during my military entrance examination in 2007.
It keeps me up at night and I have thick white sometimes yellow phlegm that I cough up daily. It is very hard to cough up and I cough extremely harsh. It seems like it is all upper respitory to me. In April 2008, I had my first mini sinus surgery which did not help any of my symptoms. They did find MRSA in the sinuses. In July 2008, I tested positive for asthma and was put on different inhalers (symbicort and advair), also albuterol inhaler and I have been doing albuterol nebulizers as well.
If a chronic, dry cough is due to atenolol, how long should the cough linger after tapering off? I have taken atenolol 25-50 mg/day for more than 20 years to slow the heart rate while having paroxysmal atrial fib (and also for mildly elevated BP). Each year I have experienced a dry hacking cough lasting 3-6 mos - the duration of the coughing seems to have increased with time.
This pregnancy, my asthma has flared up for weeks and has gone from moderately severe to severe. I just saw my pulmonologist for the first time today, and he prescribed me Symbicort, which is safe and I was not at all concerned about. I now have monthly appts with him to monitor my asthma throughout my pregnancy.
My question is: Did an increase in severity of your asthma cause you to become high risk?
I started wheezing, coughing, and spitting up phlegm (yellowish in color) about 8 months ago. Since then I have been on various rounds of antibiotics, prednisone, cough syrups, singular, symbicort, albuterol etc. I had been treated at the allergy clinic years before for allergies and asthma. I have had to take about 8 days of 10mg prednisone about 4 -5 times in the last 8 months. It is about the only thing that helps my coughing and spitting up of phlegm.
Spiriva (titropium) is a inhaled antihistamine indicated for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Antihistamines frequently cause dry mouth and dry sinuses (benadryl is an antihistamine). The side effect is not considered serious, but you should call your physician if it continues. A saline nasal spray can moisturize the sinuses and possibly reduce the symptoms.
t stop coughing. I also went to Asia for the first time in October and with the recent typhoons there, could I have made it worse. I used Biaxin (anti-biotics), started with Symbicort (puffer), then on Alvesco and now I am on Nasacort, Advair and Aerius. Is this a post virus cough, asthma or something else...your thoughts?
I also take sleeping pills. I had a persistent cough that would not go away so my regular doctor prescribed Symbicort & Advair Inhalers. Ever since I am inhaling the sprays my cough has stopped. I went to the emergency room two days ago with shortness of breath and weakness and they discovered my Potassium level was too low.
I know I have a lot of health issues but is this really all about asthma & allergies? or is there something else wrong with me? How do I get better?
Now, supposedly recovering from whatever it was I got, I started having this peppery sensation in my lungs and more dry cough that wakes me up at night. Of course, my GP suggested that I take antihestamines for a while. Hayfever got to me after all.
However, I really can't stand jumping out of bed EVERY NIGHT for the last 3 days, coughing and gasping for air.
What you describe is highly suspicious for your cough being on the basis of environmental exposures, allergic or irritant, first in the log home and more recently during your two week stay in the city. You could be responding to mold in one or both places but more commonly such problems as cough are caused by exposure to house dust or the house dust mite, to cockroach (even when they are dead) or to animal dander.
Albuterol can also be used in a nebulizer and there are very small portable ones that fit into your purse. You appear to have chronic bronchitis. The very best treatment for this symptom is Vitamin B5. I take 1000 mg. daily and my coughing has ceased to be a serious problem.
As for your smoking, I am a very moderate smoker. I reduced my smoking by placing the cigarettes out of my reach.
For the past week or so, I have been having to cough a lot because it feels like something needs to get out, but isnt coming out when I cough. I notice that is it worse in the evening, sometimes I almost puke because I cant stop coughing. I live in a basement apartment, that was just renovated and is very dry.
Recently my doctor diagnosed me with asthma when I went in for a visit for a cough and cold....he said the astham was nothing serious and did not need to be treated. The cold is gone now but I have had a consistent cough for nearly 5 months; it is mostly brought on when I am engaging in physical activity or talking. When I am not struggling with a cough I am constantly wheezing....I always feel a wheeze in my chest....
Since 1991 from April to November I cough non stop. I have taken different inhalers over the years and am now
trying Symbicort. I am under a specialist now and he has suggested I have reflux and he wants me to take
medication for this. Since March this year I have had two courses of prednisone which seems to be the only
thing to stop me coughing. BUT two weeks after I have stopped taking the prednisone I start coughing again.
I have bronchitis with a severe cough I am taking 50mg cortisone a day I am not able to cut down yet as the cough is too severe. It's been around 4 weeks since it started as a sore throat and moved down to my chest am taking antibiotics Clarithromycin 250mg & Doxycycline Monohydrate (50mg), Rikodeine or Codeine cough suppressant, Symbicort inhaler. I'm not sleeping well a couple of hours here and there and I'm exhausted, am severely constipated.
