A member asked:
What should i do if i'm always coughing and hacking, lungs feel heavy, very tired should i go to the doctors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Simple YES: If you smoke then stop. Other causes of acute cough are infection or allergies(post nasl drip). Chronic cough over 4-8 wks is as above plus asthma or medications if you have a normal chest xray and exam. If not then worry about copd/chronic bronchitis etc. Need basic exam and history. So yes follow up with your doctor.
