I have a constant tickle back if my throat and then I have chough through the night and then I wake up gasping for air , it's frightening Through the day I'm choughing but don't always have this throat trickle but my throat does feel hairy and irritated if this makes sense?
Anyone else got this ?
Ohhhh yes! I have been trying trelegy for the first time, 2 weeks later thought it may take a bit longer to start so I thought I would persevere. 5 viruses later I think it has worked as I would be a lot worse on my old medication 🤣🤣. But Sunday had chills in my back and then the cough started, I have never brought up so much crap in all my life and now its a tickle aswell. I coughed so much in the bathroom last night, thought I'd finished but when I tried breathing in I couldn't as I had more there. Like you said so frightening at the time, but I have learnt take a second or your going to panic, then cough again. Sorry for the long post, but the body is a marvellous thing even when you think it's your worst enemy. It will ease eventually but it's how you cope at the time. Please don't panic like I used to and let us know how you get on. Your pharmacist is your best friend at times like this. Good luck chook but you shouldn't need it 😉
Thanks for the comforting reply, yes panic sets in and and it makes it much worser. Im thinking of booking private to see a consultant and getting to the bottom of this, do you have a heavy chest with like pressure upon breathing ? I also have been having a higher than normal rate, I am in the middle of seeing a cardiologist for that and will have an ultrasound on the heart end of the week.I'm thinking it might be acid reflux? What's your thoughts?
Not sure about acid reflux as I don't suffer from that (yet)🤣🤣give it time. Do what you think you need to but please try not to overthink it. Like you said go and see who you have to and just take one day at a time. To be honest with you that's all we can do. Let me know how you get on chook. I wish you all the best 👍
Thanks for reply and for listening to me have a little rant 😆 Hope your feeling better soon , I'll update you once I have seen a specialist
Yes it's best not to overthink, but it's all my brain does lately now.
Take care of yourself thanks again
I have regular issues with my nose and copd. Best solution I've found so far is eucalyptus. The oil in a diffuser or rubbed on my back helps alot with inflammation. Regularly blowing my nose helps to. A tickle usually indicates irritation from nasal drainage. Definitely talk with your doc, and see about allergens to.
Thank you sorry to hear about your struggles Take care of you happy holidays
I hope you get to the bottom of this soon. I should ask your pharmacist to suggest something to sooth your throat. xxx
Than you hope your well
hi, I’ve got the nighttime throat and cough - I think it might be a nasal drip. My GP has referred me to ENT - no appointment yet! GP thinks I need some nose surgery. I’ve also got terrible acid reflux - duty doctor has doubled my Lazaprol to 2 tablets a day but it’s not working. I also have IBS which makes it all a bit more complicated. Hope this is helpful. I wondered if the painkillers I’m taking for rheumatoid arthritis were the problem so I’m now taking them with 2 spoonfuls of kefir yoghurt to try to line my stomach. Hope this is helpful - this is my first ever post!
Welcome to the forum. I hope you will find it helpful to be here. Let us know if the kefir yoghurt has any effect.
Thank you for the warm welcome , take care of you.
Try Peptac (liquid) for your Acid reflux .. It’s better for me than Gaviscon Advance and so much cheaper .
Game changer for me. Soothes acid reflux straight away .( But not to take it at same time as Lanzoprazole)
Thank you for the help. I will give it a try I was up again last night choughing it's so exhausting
👍 let me know if it helped 🤞
I have IBS ( high five to that one) the chough is exhausting isn't it I'm sorry to read your going through this, yes post nasal drip also can be nightmare
I hope you get your appointment soon, I was thinking of booking to see a lung specialist and seeing what he suggested I'm sure he would be able to point me in the right direction?
If it was acid reflux he would suggest who to see next I'm guessing ? I'm taking ompeazole at the moment only started them last Thursday but haven't helped yet unfortunately.
How long have you been choughing like this for?
Thank you for the reply I hope your better today with it
Welcome to the forum kefiryoghurt.nose+ sinus probs often accompany lung disease.i take antihistaminescea day + use Sterimar breathe easy( salt wash) which helps clear sinuses,+ steroid nasal spray x
Don't know if this is helpful Amyamy, but I sometimes get a persistent dry tickle in my throat, which is particularly horrible if you are trying to sleep or if you are in company and can't stop coughing. I always keep 'broncho stop' tablets with me in my handbag and on my bedside table. I usually works for me. x
Thank you, it can be so annoying chough, chough , choughing all the time I'm exhausted thanks for the tip I'm really grateful for the help Take care
You too, hope it helps x
Have u had a virus? How longs it been happening? I find gargling,just with water or what drinks too hand,helps,as far back as u can.also tspn clear honey coats the throat+ is soothing.also look on Aluk website,contains lot of helpful info.my go to iis " controlled breathing techniques- pursed lips breathing ".practise it so u get used to using it when struggling - sit on edge of bed & just focus on that breathing ,it should help
Thank you for the advise , very helpful I do sip water and I'm taking ompeazole since last Thursday with no help so far
I had COVID for the very first time in September but I was absolutely fine after it
It made my lre existing condition worser , but it didn't effect me in a sense of a bad chough or chest wise , but now I seem to have this very bad chough all day tay definitely seems to be all in my throat like it feels hairy almost and irritated and then night time when sleeping it constantly wakes me up with a tickle sensation and then the choughing starts, it's exhausting all the time
I'm thinking of booking in with a lung specialist to be checked over and I'm hoping whatever he believes it to be in would be able to suggest what other consultant to see if it wasn't lung related ?
Take care of you , I hope you are doing okay
Have u been to see Yr own dr? Omeprazole helps my Gerd,but can't recall how long it took.id try the clear honey,it stays on throat longer than linctus or try lozenges.do u have salbutamol inhaler? X
My own GP isn't very good. I have private health insurance so thinking of going to see a respiratory consultant and hoping they point me in the direction and give that ease of mind, I'm not in an inhaler no. Thanks for the reply, it's nice to connect with people who understand. How long have you had the chough for? And what tests have you etc.. if you don't mind me asking about your health that is

I take metoprolol and atorvastatin. I’ve had a cough for 3 years. A couple of CT scans later I’m still sucking on cough drops. A pill I get OTC with Tylenol in it meant to ease inflammation and sinus problems makes it go away for 8 - 10 hours. A couple of times in the past 3 years it went away on its own for a few days. It’s worsened by reclining or laying down particularly on my right side. Of course it often comes with shortness of breath. I’m 74. AFIB. Had Thyroid removed due to cyst on Thyroid and that is when they first diagnosed AFIB prior to that surgery. Sitting by the pool right now and was coughing as soon as I got up this morning. Took 2 of the Tylenol sinus pills and within 15 minutes the cough vanished. I think it’s the Statin or the Metoprolol causing the cough. Both are known causes of coughs and shortness of breath as side effect.
Thanks for the reply, sorry to read about your struggles I hope your coping well otherwise Take care of yourself
Hi , i just came across your message re:cough , i read an article a while back and this lady had a servere cough thatbwould not go away and she was cutting pinnapple up one day and was coughing at that time she decided to eat a bit of pinapple and the cough dissapeared so i tried it a few months ago i bought a cheap can of sliced pinnapple and put it in the fridge and ate a quarter of a slice and the irritating cough went , and now and again if my throat is dry and furry and i start to swallow and cough in goes a little bit of pinnapple it has been a blessing as it is nearly non existant now and well worth a try you have nothing to lose (except maybe your cough ) God bless
Thank you very much, I have tinned pineapple I'll pop it the fridge worth a try! CheersAny tips are always welcome I'm glad it's helpful for you, I like pineapple so even if it doesn't help it's a win win!
Take care of you and thanks for reply
I would try a saline solution with a neubulizer. You cough a lot when first starting it, but really dries stuff out. I believe it's what they give you when you have a bronchoscopy. I had to bring this up to my pulmonologist. It was never offered to me. Best advice is to do a lot of research. I try not to rely on what one person says. What works for you may not work for someone else. Best of luck on your journey to breathing better and living your best life!
Thank you for the reply, and the advise very much appreciated 👍 take care of you happy holidays
Best Luck! Let me know how it works for you!
