A persistent cough may be caused by: a long-term respiratory tract infection, such as chronic bronchitis asthma – this also usually causes other symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness and shortness of breath an allergy smoking – a smoker's cough can also be a symptom of COPD bronchiectasis – where the airways of the lungs become abnormally widened postnasal drip – mucus dripping down the throat from the back of the nose, caused by a condition such as rhinitis or sinusitis gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) – where the throat becomes irritated by leaking stomach acid a prescribed medicine, such as an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor), which is used to treat high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease In most cases, a doctor won't worry whether a cough is dry or chesty, but will need to know if you are producing much more or darker phlegm than usual. Rarely, a persistent cough can be a symptom of a more serious condition, such as lung cancer, heart failure, a pulmonary embolism (blood clot on the lung) or tuberculosis.
I’ve been living with COPD for quite some time, and for years, I struggled to find lasting relief. While conventional medications provided temporary help, the symptoms always returned and often got worse.Out of a mix of hope and hesitation, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first. But around the fourth month, I began to notice real, steady progress:My breathing became easier the tightness in my chest lessened my energy levels slowly started to return It wasn’t an overnight transformation, but it was consistent and truly life changing. For the first time in years, I feel more in control of my health. I can breathe more freely, sleep more peacefully, and enjoy daily life without the constant fatigue and breathlessness I once accepted as normal.The improvements I’ve experienced physically, emotionally, and mentally have been nothing short of uplifting.If you’re exploring natural options for managing COPD, I wholeheartedly recommend NaturePath Herbal Clinic.
