I suffer from a silent (no wheeze) type of asthma. However I have severe chest tightness and a bad cough producing thick sticky mucous. This has been for 8 years. 5 years since I contacted my doctor. Prednisolone tablets are the only thing that reduce inflammation but my doctors have stopped them unless I have a wheeze. What do I do? I am very concerned and anxious now.
Thank you for being here in the community,
. It's concerning that you've been experiencing severe chest tightness, cough, and thick mucus for an extended period, especially if it's related to asthma. There have been some advances in medication and treatment and encourage you to seek out professional help. We cannot recommend or offer any treatment course as we are not physicians here. Here at Asthma.net, we empower patients and caregivers to take control of their Asthma by providing a platform to learn, educate, and connect with peers and healthcare professionals. Here is a link that may help you on your way to learning and seeking out help to enable you to begin to heal. Do you think maybe you would like to get a second opinion and see a new specialist in your area? It may be the step you need to take to begin to manage these symptoms. I certainly hope others chime in and offer their view to help you manage your anxiety and concerns. Thoughtfully, Rebecca (community moderator)
