What Causes Cough And Accumulation Of Fat Around The Neck?

My husband has been ill since Christmas when he started with a cold. He still has a cough, but is so achey that I have to put his socks on. He has accumulated alot of fatty tissue around his neck, has very little range of motion and is in pain. His doctor sent him for a chest x-ray and his nurse called to say he did not have pneumonia. He is 64, retired and has always been healthy. He fishes and I worry about lymes - any thoughts?

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* Simply persistent cough & fat around neck is not indicative of Lyme .
* X-ray is not showing pneumonia is fine but what about the diagnosis of
the patient .
* Many conditions may be present which require precise evaluations as
Left ventricular failure - Bronchitis - Thyroid disorders - many more .
* Your husband requires - hospitalisation - detailed work up including
Laboratory data , 2 D echo & further reports as per clinical judgments .
Hope this clears your doubts.
Welcome for any further assistance.
