Coughing, pain in my head & tasting blood

In June I got pneumonia for 2 months, 3 months later I'm still coughing & sometimes taste blood when I cough, also since June, when I cough hard I get this extreme, extreme pain in my head . My GP gave me omeprezole which seems to have helped me with the taste of blood but not always & has referred me to see a GI dr which I've not gotten an appointment yet for. Really can't take the pain in my head!

Hi Tdolaher5,

Have you thought about revisiting your GP to discuss your pain management system whilst waiting for an appointment date with the GI doctor?

We published a blog article on pain management which I hope you will find useful: lupusuk.org.uk/pain-managem... . Also, you may like to read our factsheet on ‘LUPUS: and the Brain’ here: lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Lupus can cause excessive dryness in the throat which can lead to coughing, we published a factsheet on ‘LUPUS: The Mouth, Nose and Eyes’ which you may like to read here: lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...
