Coughing bouts can be so tiring.

Presumably you saw a doctor after the tests. Have they suggested what could be causing the cough? If you have hayfever is it possibly linked to an allergy? Is it likely to be linked to COPD as all your tests are clear? In which case I wonder if the British Lung Foundation might be a good resource for you to get advice?
