Suggest Treatment For Cough And High Blood Pressure
I quit smoking at the beginning of the year, and now when I exercise I start coughing so bad I have to stop, is this just the normal bodys way of cleaning out the tar? Also I have noticed my blood pressure is higher since I quit, when everything I read says the opposite is the norm?
