Do I have asthma because I cough and wheeze all the time?

15.June, 2010

I cough and cough and have conjestion and wheezing in my lungs. The doctor took an x-ray, but I didn’t have pneumonia. I take beta blockers and other meds. I’m also taking allergy meds, but they don’t seem to be working well. Any ideas?

There is a strong chance that you could be at risk for emphysema, bronchitis, or asthma. The question is, how do you get this diagnosed? Most likely if your doctor has the same suspicion as I do he/she will make you give approximately 10 strong blows into a little catalyst that will measure your strength. Then, he/she will determine if you need an inhaler. I really don’t think that beta blockers would do much to help this, as they are usually beneficial for only cardiovascular diseases. If the allergy medications are not working, this is an immediate indication that you have a thoracic issue that needs to be addressed by your physician immediately. There are several medications and other means of therapy that can help you and your condition get better. I recommend you see your doctor soon.

    I don’t know what you have, but the remedy I used to get rid of a cough is:

    (1) Drinking large amounts of orange juice helps somewhat.

    (2) I also tried a green tea steam. Basically you boil water, wait let the bubbles go away add green tea bags, let simmer for 10 minutes. Then put a towel over your head and put your head over the steam for about 5 minutes.
