A member asked:
Sometimes when i take a deep breath, i feel like something isnt right and like i need to cough. maybe something is bothering my lungs, but ive also been stressed and maybe stress is physically affecting me. what could be causing this?

If the symptom is not persistent, a pulmonary condition is less likely. See your doctor for a chest exam +/- chest X-ray if that symptom becomes persistent. Otherwise, practice deep breathing technique (inhale 2 seconds, hold 4 seconds, exhale 6 seconds) will help you with stress, anxiety and possible your current symptom.
