Breathlessness is often brushed off as a normal result of aging, a hectic lifestyle, or even lack of fitness. But when this shortness of breath persists or worsens over time, it could be a warning sign of a more serious lung condition.
Finally went to the doctor on Monday for my #chronicCough. He prescribed 5 different meds including an inhaler and a spray. He also ordered x-rays.
Went to see him again today. Happy to say the x-rays look good. No issues there. But he expected that I'd start* feeling better after 2 days on meds.
Nope. No change at all.
So he modified the prescription a bit -- now it's 2 inhalers. I hope I get better soon. I'm so sick of all the coughing. 😣
