I have been told that I suffer with Asthma, but my main problem is that as soon as I laugh, I have a coughing fit - I don't wheeze, but seem to be coughing mostly when I talk to people or laugh, or when I dance,(my hobbie, which I do two to three evenings per week.) I seem to produce a lot of mucus, and when I need to cough, it is quite a violent bought of coughing. I am taking a steroid inhaler, but although it does help - it stops me getting a tight chest, it still doesn't seem to stop the coughing - sometimes I sound as though I smoke 40 ciggies a day ( I have never smoked, but my mother smoked around me until I left home) which is just so embarrassing. I also seem to have coughing fits when in meetings or other rather stressful situations. Does anyone have any suggestions?
