Hi, My names Lauren  Im currently suffering from a very tight coughing chest. It doesnt rattle so it makes coughing seem forced as its not bringing anything. My other symptoms are also headache, slightly light headed. My body mainly my hands feel quite weak and achy. Im also lightly shaking.  Regards, Lauren
Hi, It Could be because of bronchitis(allergic or infective), pertussis, seasonal asthma etc. You may undergo routine blood count, ESR with X-ray chest and pulmonary function test. You might require antibiotics (quinolones or accolades or amoxicillin with clavulanic acid) with cough suppressants (antiallergic antihistamines or mast cell stabilizers) and anti-inflammatories or analgesics on as and when required basis. You must consult your pulmonologist to get diagnosed first and then treatment.
