Do you smoke anything? I quit smoking everything because of similar symptoms and it all went away after a month of coughing heavier than when I smoked. Try going “ha!”, “hoah!”, “huh!”. Any help?
- thaumasiotes 6y agoNo, I don't smoke. And I've been coughing for three years. :/ [edit: Sometimes when I cough there is a tearing sensation. If this happens, I generally interpret it as phlegm being dislodged from a place where my coughing wasn't getting it before. I will generally devote a lot of extra effort to coughing at that point. No effect overall, though. A couple of times I've brought up blood spots after some particularly dedicated coughing.]
- h2odragon 6y agoAny autoimmune problems? Thick fluids can be a sign of cystic fibrosis and similar non-fun.
- thaumasiotes 6y agoNone that I'm aware of. Would this be the only manifestation?
- h2odragon 6y agoprobably not but some can kick in later in life too. theres a cheap "sweat salinity" test they give to newborns a doctor can do to rule out a family of such things.
- johnmobley 6y agoHave you been screened for lung cancer?
- thaumasiotes 6y agoI've had two chest X-rays, the second of which was a response to my report that I'd coughed up blood.
