Persistant Cough And Wheezing In Throat Posted: 05-04-06 13:50pm
Hi,
i was wondering if you could maybe give me
an idea on what is the cause of this,
because I have been unsuccessful so far in
getting a proper diagnosis and therefore
treatment.
I have had this cough for nearly a year,
the best way to describe it is; when you
got a cold, you cough and get a sensation
that something has been cleared from your
throat, well this feeling is similar only
it never gets cleared. When I cough it
makes a strange sound and it feels like it
is something there, but no matter how hard
I try to cough it never clears. I have
tried all standard and over-standard
treatments and all was unsuccessful.
Also this is accompanied by wheezing
usually on exhale but occasionally
especially when lying down or not cleared
my throat for a while on inhale too.
It causes me insomnia, severe anxiety and
unability to concentrate and really
impairs my every day life.
I was wondering if there was any way there
is any reason for me to be concerned about
cancer of the larynx or something serious,
or what do you think the cause of this is?
I have tried all treatment for post nasal
drip without success.
I am a female, 23, my gp won't give me an
urgent referral for an ent specialist as
he seems to think that my problem is not
serious enough, so I have to wait for
about 4 months. ...
I am just looking for some peace of mind,
thanks a lot for your help,
cristina
