Throat irritation is followed by coughing, choking and breath feels uncleared. Uncomfortable; may feel I could collapse, but settle. No chest pain/wheezing. Started in Bangalore in 2020 and continued in Jamshedpur. Some days are symptom-free. Mainly mornings, before 2 PM. I often feel sputum stuck in my throat and clear it. It is thick, sticky, white and hard to expel; similar material comes out during intense coughing/choking. Episodes sometimes occur outdoors/balcony, especially near trees; I may remain fine indoors, windows closed. May be more common in cloudy/rainy/humid weather. Today I woke well; after washing my face/mouth, throat irritation started. After tea, coughing/choking occurred, then settled. Morning tooth-brushing can trigger it; night brushing usually does not. Used inhaler once. Symptoms stopped in a closed AC restaurant; unsure if AC triggers. No blood/fever/weight loss. HRCT Thorax done Sept 2020; report shared. Main concern: breath does not clear, causing choking.

I am 36F and Consulted a doctor in early June for chest discomfort and nighttime coughing. All diagnostic tests were normal, and I received a provisional diagnosis of Cough Variant Asthma (CVA). Later in late June, contracted a viral infection that caused a deep chest rattle. I Completed a 1-month course of Foracort 400 (twice daily) exactly 5 days ago (July 5). The late-June viral chest rattle ('ghar-ghar') and active cough have now stopped. • Current Symptoms: Voice is completely hoarse and cracked. Experiencing a mild, persistent 'sinking' feeling in my chest, especially when exhaling or leaning back on pillows. The chest feels generally uncomfortable and not fully right, though it is hard to explain in words. Of late I am feeling a tiny bit breathless at times (might be due to heightened awareness/anxiety). No classic acidity, stomach discomfort, or hot belches, but the chest discomfort is noticeably more after heavy meals. Can I take foracort agin or what should I do?

I would like a second opinion regarding my symptoms and evaluation so far. Since January, I have had a persistent dry, chesty cough along with intermittent air hunger, chest heaviness/pressure, and breathlessness. I often feel unable to take a satisfying deep breath and frequently sigh or yawn. Symptoms worsen at night, when lying down, after prolonged talking, laughing, brushing teeth, and sometimes after meals. There is occasional mild wheeze on bit forced exhalation. I also experienced prolonged hoarseness and voice fatigue last year. Initially there was some mucus, but the cough later became mostly dry and vibratory. No recurrent fever. ENT exam was normal. Tests showed normal PFT, FeNO 17 ppb, normal chest X-ray, and total IgE was also normal. The pulmonologist suggested possible Cough Variant Asthma and started Foracort 400 Rotacaps for 1 month twice daily with Bilasure 20 for 10 days. Symptoms are better and magically improves after foracort. Kindly guide on the diagnosis.

​Dec 2025–May 2026: Started with a long-lasting dry cough. All tests were completely normal: Chest X-ray, PFT (breathing test), FeNO (airway swelling test), and IgE (allergy blood test). ​June 5, 2026: Due to the ongoing cough and normal tests, the doctor gave a provisional diagnosis of Cough Variant Asthma and prescribed a Foracort 400 rotahaler twice daily. After June 5: Developed new, severe breathlessness and air hunger. This included a scary episode of sudden breathing struggle while sitting in my living room directly under the AC vent with the front door open. ​• Inhaler Response: Mixed. Sometimes Foracort significantly helps open my chest; other times it goes on its own ​• My Query: I am seeking a second opinion to confirm if this provisional diagnosis is correct, why my breathlessness started after June 5, and why the inhaler works only sometimes magically n sometimes slowly.

1 year ago on May 2022 my husband was detected mediastinal lymph node tb by ebus Fnac in Apollo hospital. After 7 month of medicine we did CECT the size was regressed from conglomerated 7cm to one was 1.2cm and other was 1.5cm doctor advised to take medicine for 2 more months and then we finished 9 months course. Now he is doing well no fever no weight loose no loss of appetite. He is professor he is taking classes. But only problem of which I'm worried is he sometimes occasionally cough like 8 to 10 times daily mostly at evening and night after gap of half an hour or 1hour. It is like happening since he affected tb. Previously due the mediastinal lymph node he can't even talk because of cough and airway compression. Now everything resolved but sometimes occasionally cough. Is it post tb effect? His pft test report was restrive spirometery significant liability noted in small airways But sometimes I am in fear of lymphoma leading from tb. But i can't do CECT everytime. hs a non smoker
