    Iain, bronchial itching can be caused by an ashthematic condition, and I would therefore suggest that you should get in to see your GP about this as soon as possible.

    It does not in itself denote anything serious, but it may well be an allergic reaction that needs to be isolated and treated.

      I'm very pleased that you have sorted this problem out Iain.

      It only goes to show that there is always an explanation as to why our systems occasionally give us problems.

      Now you you can get on with enjoying your life.

      I wish you well Iain.

      All the best

      Rod

      Just wanted to say thanks to Rod for the precise diagnosis and insight. i am from Canada and this diagnosis just gave me some clarity on a similar problem. Although I have no asthma... I do have allergic reactions and have been taking antihistamine medications. there were no pollen outbreak today so that might explain it. But I am not sure now if this might have more to do with indigestion or heart burn. Thanks

    This can be a broncial problem.  Have you had bronchitis or bronchial pneumonia at any time if so that could be the cause.  You may need medication or even an inhaler. Go to your doctor and see what he suggests.

    I get a sharp pain in my heart accompanied with a deep itch in the same area, it's worse after I sneeze, but lasts all day and worsens when stressed. Been going on for about a month now. I went to the doctor yesterday and got and EKG, blood tested for blood clots, heart echo, and chest x rays. All seem okay. I haven't had asthma or any type of bronchitis or pneumonia and am in general good health (27 years old). I'm discussing the issue again with my doctor in a few days to see what the problem is and fill you all in. Please let me know if anyone has had similar issues and what the source was thank you!
