Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain And Excessive Coughing

I am having various, mild physical chest pains which Kaiser thinks are sore chest muscles from excessive coughing. The coughing fits seem to be my involuntary failure to keep crumbs/ or spit out of my windpipe like I use too. I m 81 and mother developed a similar problem in her late 80s. A chiropractor suggested it may be the taking of statin for over 20 years, that might create muscle problems. So??

Hi,

It is better to exclude lung problem by blood counts and X-ray chest rather than assuming chest pain due to hectic cough. Be under care of a chest specialist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
