Severe Cough and chest pain

2 Replies

Hi am new over here.Ive severe Cough for last 4 days and my chest ribs hurt badly.I am asthmatic for last 12 years and for last 5 years I am on seretide inhaler. Shall I go to doctor to get inhaler changed ? I go to gp but he doesn't refer me to a pulmonologist saying that I've clear lungs when he observes with stethoscope. But I suffer slot night time while I get to sleep. Shall I get to have an x ray in order to get to know if thers something wrong with my lungs or any other tests?

Good morning, Sarah5467. I'm sorry, I can't answer your questions, but someone may come along soon who has more experience of this. You could try contacting the BLF nurse on the helpline number 03000 030 555.

I'm not sure what you need to do but a cough for 4 days is not really a long time.. it may just be viral or something? If you aren't happy and still feel unwell you should go back to your Gp and ask for another opinion maybe?
