My asthma has been settle since last march but the last few weeks I've been back to coughing. Yesterday my whole body ached so I saw doctor and got antibiotics and a course of pred.
Today my whole chest area is so painful I think due to coughing so much
How can I relax the muscles or ease the pain?
Thanks I've ordered a big maternity u shaped pillow due tomorrow I saw it was also recommended for asthma sufferers for propping up and stopping rolling onto our backs during the night which prompts coughing
HI, offering my support as i'm in the same boat, still unsettled since last October with recurring chest and sinus infections and a dose of pneumonia.
I find at times a hot water bottle at the top part of my back helps a little bit. i'm just about to finish my 2nd lot of antibiotics this year and yesterday the Dr put me back on 8 a day pred. I usually take hayfever tablets march - end of september and the Dr suggested i try them in the winter too.... not quite sure if its the ceterzine or the pred BUT afer a couple of days i don't seem to be producing as much mucus so i have been coughing a bit less!
Thanks for the tip about the v shape pillow, im sick of waking up coughing after sliding from my pillows ... will get one and give it a try.
