Hello Jackfrog,
It sounds like what was happening to me before I had my first asthma attack. I was 27 at the time and never had the problem all of my life and I am not a smoker. At first I would cough if i tried to breathe deeply, then if I would laugh i would cough, then if i talked i would cough...and violent coughing that lasted for a while...it was making me crazy!! Worst of all the doctors could not hear any chest congestion...even when i had my first attack there was nothing on the x-ray. I told a longer story about it on another thread called "can't take a deep breath" I have allergies too and at first the allergy meds did help me...I was taking tylenol severe allergy (some serious stuff that will put you in a daze
) but then nothing helped and I had the attack. I saw a pulmonary specialist (lung specialist)later and was diagnosed with allergy induced asthma. Maybe you should talk about the possibilities of asthma with your doctor as soon as possible and see what he says; with the pain in your chest and violent coughing, he'll probably refer you to a pulmonary specialist (which was the best thing for me) I hope you feel better...I truly know how bad it feels...for me it only got worse until I got the inhalers. Again I really hope that you feel better soon.
