I have asthma. I was diagnosed in 1996. I have coughing fits at times. I dont cough so much laying down if I have a fan on me, more so without a fan. I am around a friend who smokes (I do not smoke). Hear Failure came up once from a friend, but some of the symptoms fit and others just seem like normal asthma. Im 31 yrs old (32 soon), 52, and roughly around 205 lbs.. I am a type 1 hypertension candidate. I am over weight, but Im working on losing it. I guess my question is, if I lay down, flat on my back with the fan and Im not coughing or not coughing much (as apposed to without the fan on), is this just my asthma?
You need to know that there is an entity called Passive smoking. And you need proper evaluation as per the available scientific data, it is clear that, it is not just who smoke gets diseases but the person next to him also suffers the same. So seek a chest physician or an allergist opinion and get a spirometry done. And get rid of this. And may be the fan is pushing out smoke, then it entering into your nostrils and lungs. So when fan is off you tend to inhale the passive smoke fully into your lungs hence you get this typical smokers cough.
