    Hello Carrie

    You are not alone. I have had a bad cough since December 2016 and have had antibiotics twice, cough medicines, cough sweets, ventolin inhaler and an x-ray which I am waiting for the results for. I have also been asked to do a spirometery test as well. I hope that we will get answers soon as I am so frustrated and find it hard to walk just for 10 minutes but usually I can work 4 miles with no problem

    Hi, 

    I have been experience the SAME thing, mucus coming from the nose, doctor said I had infection but the xrays say i am fine and inhalers only do a temporary good and it's not asthma either and I get tightness in the chest sometimes and have trouble breathing especially at the throat

      I am using a nasal spray and going to give it time to see if it works. Do you get tired easily and get tired walking more than 10 minutes
