Suggest Treatment For Cough Suffocation And Chocking

Hello! My mother who is 44 has some troubles with breathing. She is suffocating every night and coughs during the day. She went to the doctor and after he consulted her he said that he has no problem with her lungs or heart. He said that it s caused by a flu that passed and gave her some meds. It s been more than a week since she went to the doc but the problem persists. She doesn t have pain or other problems ,just the choke and coughs.What should she do? Any possible diagnosis? Please ,help!

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your mother's situation and problem.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist for her and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. Chest x ray.
3. PFT ( pulmonary function test ).
She might be having bronchitis due to poor control of flu.
Upper respiratory tract infection ( URTI ) can complicate as bronchitis.
And cough, choking, suffocation and breathlessness can be seen in bronchitis.
So better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose her and then start appropriate treatment.
She may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug.
I find this answer helpful
