    I have been tested for post nasal drip with steroids and asthma pumps - I too have a tickly cough and horrible shortness of breathe feeling when I breathe through my nose including the fact that when I breathe deeply it feels like I am breathing in icy air WTF......

    I have been referred to the lung specialist now for further tests......I too worry that I now have lung cancer!
