hi everyone,
just registered...been reading many posts for a long time and im definetly in peri
i suffered long coughing bouts with chest congestion a year back and now its back again. like last time its reached an excruciating point where the cough joins the incontinence problems. been avoiding antibiotics because of severe stomach problems.... and cough syrups cause constipation. doing hot salt water gargling, honey , ginger treatment but not working.....any advise girls plz ?
I've been having a productive cough too. Usually during the night (very annoying) but also during the day. I've noticed it's when I'm tired. I never used to cough and I'm not sick. I am not a smoker, fit and healthy (or so I used to be before perimenopause!). Pretty annoying but at least it doesn't hurt. There is another post on here about the same thing ... Hope you find a reason for your coughing
Hi, it sounds like whooping cough. At our age apparently the vaccine starts to wear off and its been doing the rounds again. I had it two years ago, prolonged cough, sounds so like your symptoms. Had a test which proved positive. It gradually got better, but took about 9 months in all. Have a chat with your gp. Xx
No I don't think so as I am immunised against this as a requirement of my work (nurse) and my titre tested only 1 month ago as "immune".
sorry that sounded narrowminded - you were answering menopolized!
oh dear , so sorry to hear about your cough. another post on coughing ?...ill have a look then.... the people around me say the coughing is due to indigestion ( stomach issues) ...recommended drinking green coconut water daily.
Point worth considering...never thought that. thanks deb
