Hi all,
I've recently had a episode where i could not stop coughing, i went to the doctor and he thinks it's acid reflux. this was 2 weeks ago, last week it started to get better then i caught a cold again and i had a runny nose and a slight fever but that's gone, now i just have a really persistent bad cough again :( The worst thing is i had the same thing at the same time last year! I have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder since 21, now 26 and i have a stressful environment at work. but i am at my wits end with this cough, the reason I think stress is making it worse is whenever i get anxious is gets worse but it's not all anxiety i know it's real i just don't know what to do to make it better. I may have acid reflux i don't know, my right side of my ribs hurt as well now.
i'm just scared it'll come back each year or never go away and googling it helps but also makes it worse.
i don't smoke, drink or have a bad diet so i don't know what it could be. I have another appointment with the doctor next week, but because I have anxiety they don't take anything i say seriously, they just put it down to that.
Thanks in advnace by the way :)
