I kno I’ve already posted about this before recently but now I’m starting to worry it’s just like lingering it normally comes when I laugh or at night now and only a bit in the day could this be lung cancer at all I don’t smoke or anything but my mates do help me

Coughing is normal. Back a year or two ago, I used to cough a lot at night or in the mornings, randomly. I’m happy I never searched up any illnesses that could cause it, because that would probably freak me out. Either way, I was never sick when these coughs happend. Pretty sure anxiety is causing your coughs.

HelloPanda23,

Coughing can be caused by a zillion things. And the 11th commandment is "Thou shall not Google. Call/see MD." That's for real. Reading all the possibilities could unnecessarily freak you out. Get a very good check out about the cause of your cough. Ease your mind.xx

No I wasn't the one afraid of getting lung cancer, I'm not the op lol.

It can be allergies, or a small infection such as bronchitis or a sinus problem. All of these are easily treated. You should see a doctor who will be able to provide any treatment that is needed and also will relieve your anxiety.
