are you like it all the time or do you just have spells of it... if it goes away its more likely anxiety. x

try not to google it makes things so much worse.
I wont preach about giving up because i know its hard but it would make such a differance to your health if you couldxxxx
christmas wasnt long ago some coughs can linger ages so try not to stress, good idea getting the test done as itll put your mind at ease but im sure everything is finex
