I've now come to the conclusion that I have Pulmonary Embolism and this chronic cough doesn't make me feel any better. I've had this cough for two weeks now and it's still here. It doesn't have any other symptoms besides coughing dry coughs. I've been thinking tat I have something serious. I've also checked my weight compared to a few weeks ago and noticed that I dropped 10 pounds. My chest has been hurting. The muscle and the actual lung to a degree and I'm afraid that I have a PE. I'm going to get it checked in the morning g but I've been worried for so long. I broke down and cried about it today. I haven't felt nice at all.

      I'm trying to get better. After the hospital visit, I've tried to keep a positive frame of mind. Sometimes it's not easy when you feel physical symptoms daily.

      Maybe you are over anxious and if your dr treats that then you will feel better
