Violent excessive coughing bouts


by: benjamin on Fri, Mar 14 2008

This is a short basic description of coughing I have had over 50 years.
I have suffered with violent coughs over this period. The coughing generates no matter in what environment I am in i.e. clinical or other open area. The coughing is continuous for about a minute or two and subsides until another bout within less than fifteen minutes over a 24/7. I have had not a relaxed or free period of my coughing over the last 50 years or more. I realised over the years since my early young age I would succumb to problems with damage that would occur to my muscle, nerves and bone structure due to violent or force movement during my coughing bouts. I had NHS and Private Specialists appointments but to no avail with medications prescribed. However, my G.P also spent a whole day with me at my residence to evaluate my condition when he received a letter after a second consultation within a space of two years with the same Consultant. The second letter referred to my GP by the Consultant as me being a hypochondriac. Hence, my GP’s time with me to assess my condition. After my spending time with him he again wrote to the same Consultant with his report and I was appointed to see the Consultant. Once again medication was prescribed but no relief to my condition.

I looked ay every avenue to evaluate my condition over a period to see if there were changes in my condition on the types of clothes I wore, the people I associated, food I ingest, my daily routine on toiletries and hygiene and other associated dealings in my daily routine. Unfortunately no changers were apparent to my obsession to the violent coughing bouts.

I have exhausted my avenue on how I can resolve or even relax my coughing bouts to a more manageable execution. {lease help me with others resolve on this same condition
