I have been told I have asthma. I cough every time I get barely a crumb in my throat or any kind of tickle or if I smell any kind of fragrance. The tiniest thing will trigger a coughing attack that usually lasts about one to two minutes. Every time I do, it feels like I m going to cough up a lung. It s usually not productive, though. Is this something more than just asthma? I have no fever or chills. I ve had a headache and neck pain and pain in my shoulder blades for about four weeks also. So, what s the deal?
