Suggest Treatment For Cough And Pressure Feeling In The Chest
I have develop an urge to cough, not productive, for the last 4-5 days. I also have a tickling, pressure feeling in my chest. Female, 48, run/walk 2 miles a day, on no meds except for Benadryl for past 3 days for allergic reaction. Can Benadryl cause this?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion we need to rule out cardiac cause first. As benadryl can not cause this because it is cough supressant.
So better to get done ECG to rule out cardiac causes.
If it is normal than get done chest x ray to rule out lung related causes.
If this is also normal than no need to worry much. It may be related to stress and anxiety. So be relax and keep calm. Avoid stress and anxiety.
