Hello, I think I got a problem with my lungs. I ve been coughing for nearly 6 month. I start feeling a bit dizzy when I cough. I cough at random times & it starts off like a spasm. If I cough I can t stop for some time, could be 5-20 min in a row. I can breathe while coughing so I don t think it s asthma or something. I think it s something chronic but I m still scared if it s something worse. I got no other symptoms or chronic deceases. Age is 20. Male. When I use cough syrups like codeine it really helps for a while but sometimes meds don t help at all. What do you think it could be?
Hello! Have you ever noticed any particular precipitating factor for your cough ? Does it happen on exposure to dust or cold ? Any increase in cough before or after meals ? Do you have any problem with digesting the food you take ? Any symptoms of upper abdominal pain or regurgitation of food? Do you have running nose, facial pain or feeling of mucus tricking down your throat ? Cough does not necessarily mean it should be a problem with your lungs. Sometimes inflammation of your nose / throat and even reflux disease can cause cough. Sometimes cough can be the only presentation in asthmatics too.  So kindly get yourself checked by a physician and a chest ray if needed.
