Hmm... Then it may be so.

Thanks, again, Lyn. I should probably have it looked into the next time
it occurs. I think I'll pick up an inhaler to have on hand.

Same here for me -- however, unbelievably, albuterol makes it even worse; my
body must think of it as smoke, perfume, hot and cold air, because it
triggers it under testing.

Are you saying that "cough-variant asthma" is the term for "trouble
expelling air"? If so, I will have to remember that so as be more
knowledgeable about this condition.
Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Pure albuterol, or certain inhalers? The reason I ask is because some
formulations of albuterol make me worse - Proventil HFA is the best as
the carrier is less irritating than others. "Generic" albuterol was the
worst for me.

Not exactly, but that's why you cough. You cannot get the "used" air
out of your lungs.

It's sort of a condition that most doctors don't know to diagnose or
treat so it can be difficult to get resolved.

beautiful.

I went in and told my doctor that I had a cough that just wouldn' t go
away. She looked me dead in the eye and said one word. "Asthma."
She was right. The inhalers worked, at least for a time. Now, all
they do is make me light-headed.
