In the last 6+months I ve noticed raspy,take your breath away cough. I have no pain but sometimes l feel like I m running out air. It happens when I start laughing hard or clear my throat. The deep cough is from below my my throat & vocal chords. I do feel like I m going to run out of oxygen when I m talking. Any ideas.
Hi, Dear , Good Evening. Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. This is Chat Doctor.  I studied your query in-depth and understood your health concerns.-In My opinion the Cause and Treatment --for shortness of breath and cough is as follows-a-Cause in your case could be-Allergic Chronic-Bronchitis due to working site or living site-air pollution/contamination by allergens.b-Laughing or the throat clearing acts precede by deep inspiration which initiates cough reflex with these acts due to the chronic infection / allergens create productive/ mucus cough-to expel it by diaphragmatic and chest muscles. Treatment-is by mucus controlling agentsa-Licorice for reversal of asthma is knownb-Acetylcysteine 200 / aerosol 30 mg Capsules orally would take care of the irritant cough by secretolytic actions.vapor Inhalations 3/4 times a day are soothing remedies recently practicedd-enough HY
