Coughing - thoracic endo - did you check your lungs?

[Endosufferer1]

Hi ladies! Since a catamenial pneumothorax (triggered by periods), I've been coughing for a month and seems to get worse. Anything makes me cough (cooking steam, smoke from a barbecue from the neighbour, wind, position on the chair or coughing for no reasons). I've always sneezed like I'd say 4 times a day since my teenage years (difference temperature in a room...), don't know if that could be related (I mean, doesn't bother me at all, don't need to blow my nose).But what I'm most worried about is the persistent cough. Is this normal? Did it happen to one of you? I feel like I'll need surgery very soon to remove the endo lesions on the lungs + the rest of the body (this wasn't planned as I must finish uni but feel like my health will be seriously impacted if I don't do the surgery immediately).

Hope you checked endo for your lungs, too (doctors usually don't look at it unless you tell them to do so and have got related symptoms or severe endo).

Anyone who coughs sometimes because of endo or has shortness of breath???

I think I've got water in my right lung, been coughing like crazy for a month since the second partial pneumothorax. How long can I stay like that with water in my lungs? It's getting worse but the doctors where I'm are so much dumb and need to travel two hours to get to the specialists but have got exams at the uni. 😥😥😥
