I can't cough when I need to and I have a cold. Is this a symptom of PSP?

Hi Norsksue

Are you in the UK?

There is a bad cold involving much coughing going around.

Or, are you saying you are having difficulty bringing up phlegm?

With PSP and CBD the muscles in the throat become poor over time. Usually speaking clearly and swallowing are the first part of this.

If you can swallow OK and if you have this virus look forward to it improving when you are clear of the virus.

I'm so sorry you are struggling with this, but knowing so little of you I am having to guess rather a lot.

Warmly

Kevin

Hi back at ya Kevin,

I am in the U.S.

I caught the cold from my Grandkids that I live with,so I hope it is as short lived as theirs was.

I can bring up the phlegm ok I just have a hard time clearing it out.
