What Causes Dry Cough With Breathlessness And Chest Burning Sensations?
I have been sleeping approximately 4 1/2 hours daily during the work week and catching a half hour on my bus ride. I have a developed a dry cough and I am wondering if it is associated with lack of sleep. I feel shortness of breath and a slight burning sensation in my chest. This is the same reaction that I have when someone smokes cigarettes around me. Is this something that I need to seek medical attention for?
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely consult doctor. Because possibility of bronchitis is high in your case. Your symptoms like cough, breathlessness, burning chest pain etc are common in bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. Chest x ray to rule out lung infection. 3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So consult doctor and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
