April 15th very bad spontaneous thoracic pneumothorax. 3 weeks of hospital. Stopped smoking (smoked one somewhere between may and june). Started coughing first week of June, some kind of lung infection, they gave me anti-coughing pills, because it was very bad to cough after pneumothorax. It stopped. Keep in mind, pulmonologist and thoracic surgeon said that pneumothorax leaves pain and a feeling of anxiety for about two-three months, nothing else should be the problem. I have to watch how much I lift (not more than 3kg) and I can't work out at least till the next check (October) - no push-ups or planks (I'm getting rounder because of that). Back on. Started coughing in the beginning of August. It hasn't stopped since. I'm also on a diet, because the pulmonologist (not mine, he was on vacation) in June said that the coughing could be from gastroesophageal reflux disease (a very bad one), because it also hurts and stings in my chest. I take 5-7 pills/day for that and the coughing doesn't stop so... I have a gastroscopy (Nov 14th). I also had some kind of inflammation (week ago), but that was cured with antibiotics. It's rather confussing. If my lungs are ok, they why do I breath easier after using inhaler (that is for asthma attacks); if my coughing is because of gastro-problems, then why don't a diet and pills fux it? Blood count is great (well, there was an inflammation present, but everything else is OK, thyroid too). Nothing adds up. I can't even laugh, I start coughing immediately.
