What Can Cause A Lingering Cough Along With Wheezing?
I have had a cough for about a year. I would say I cough approximately every ten minutes or so. Sometimes it is worse than other times. Lately when I have coughed hard for several minutes, it sounds like a cat purring when I breath. I have been to the doctor and had a chest x-ray and everything was fine. Just can't figure out why I continue to cough. It is really annoying!!

Hello,
As you explain the history better to do a Spirometry test to see for obstruction of the airways. Please discuss with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
