Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough And Cold

Not even two weeks ago, I was just getting over a terrible cough. Well, now I

am

sick again. I cough consistantly, about 70% of the time it's been me coughing

so

hard and so frequently it makes breathing hard. On top of that, when I end up

coughing like that, my chest and stomach hurt, and occasionally I

hyperventalate. I am also extremeley congested. With my congestion, comes

dizzyness,light-headed, and I am very tired, but I can't seem to get more then five hours of

sleep. I don't have a thermometer, so I don't know my temperature, but I feel

very hot and have been in the occasional cold sweat. I am only 17 years old,

and

generally healthy, I am not over weight, and I consume on average 6 bottles of

water a day. I excersize and eat healthy.

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, we should definitely rule out bronchitis in your case.
So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
If PFT is normal then no need to worry much.
In teenage, undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
