I ve have allergy sinus problems year round. I ve developed a horrible cough over the past almost two months. My doctor gave me a round of antibiotics that I finished about 2 weeks ago. It definitely helped with the heavy feeling I had in my chest and the cough (a little) but the cough is back full force now. I hear some wheezing when laying down, as this is when the cough is worse. I do smoke and am trying to quit. Now, after about a week, I ve developed pain in my right collarbone area and neck. It is uncomfortable all the time but when I cough it actually hurts, also when I lift my arm/shoulder as well. Any suggestions on next steps with my doctor???
You are suffering from allergy and smoking is making it worse. You seem to be suffering from COPD as well. Your description suggests that you may have had a bout of chest infection which is not completely cured and hence you have developed symptoms again. You need to undergo some tests like a basic blood count and a chest x-ray to start with. It will help in ruling out pneumonia or any other pathology. Consult a pulmonologist who can advise you correctly and also treat you properly.
