I have this. I experienced about 2 solid months of coughing. No phlegm, just a dry, hard, hacking, nonproductive cough. Whenever I went to the ER, the spirometry and peak flow tests would be normal which would completely confuse the medical students, who kept giving me Robitussin, and codeine cough syrups. Drinking them like water, I continued to cough until I had to support myself on a wall or chair to have enough strength TO cough.

My chronic cough (more than 20 years) got so severe nothing worked. A pulmonologist finally diagnosed me as having cough-variant asthma (cough is my only asthma symptom). Spiriva works! With an albuterol inhaler if needed and omeprazole 40 mg at bedtime. Not saying this will work for everyone but it helped me.

I went to the doctor after watching this video because I have a cough that is lasting for over two months. I went to my pediatrician and he said that I have cough variant asthma. I was given two inhalers and a lung xray.this video was very helpful

(MY story, continued) Only after tearing an abdominal muscle did the ER finally take me seriously and give me a steroid. The steroid put an immediate end to the coughing. If I had not been so persistent, I know that I would have died from this. I refused to pay the bill they sent me and I let them know why. I now have an allergy dr who takes me seriously and keeps me in good health. I'll sing like a bird on this topic if it keeps others from suffering like I did.

Thank you so much for this information for our nursing students! I was a swimmer who had "bronchitis" 3 times a year with only cough. I used to drink codeine cough medicine from the bottle before racing! This went on for over 15 years before a very sharp doctor diagnosed it in the late 1990's. The big problem with this type of asthma is the paramedics and ER staff may not recognize the seriousness of the airway problem in acute exacerbation.

Thank you so much for this. I've had a "chronic cough" since i was little, but my parents never knew how to treat it b/c the doctors didnt know. When i was 16 i was diagnosed w/mild asthma; then it was a mis-diagnosis b/c it was a "narrowing of bronchular tubes". But when i went to bmt i had a lot of trouble & they ultimately sent me home. Watching this, it sounds like EXACTLY what i have which is sad b/c even specialists couldnt tell me that. I think they used a peak flow monitor to test me.

Thank you for this video. I wish I had known this year ago.

After watching this video I went to my doctor after having a cough for 11 weeks I was told I had traditional Asthma and cough variant asthma 💖

Thank you!! Most helpful 🙏

well my coughs last longer than a year (maybe they last forever) but the only way It stops is when the doctors give me antibiotics... and the crazy thing is that some doctors say that is sinusitis and others say that is coughing asthma

thank you for this video. I've been coughing alot, here and there, with pest chains. I've always had shortness of breath and pest chains thought. but it gets HORRIBLE when im exercising, to the point where i feel like im going to puke. My coughh is really raspy, we thot i was sick, but we know im doing fine know, so im going to go to the doctor soon

@souldrums1 I have asthma too, and I can run at the same pace as my friends for the same amount of time (Though my asthma isn't very serious). You may have a lot of stamina, but if you can build your endurance you can run fine.

yeah...me too

Hi I like your video, particularly the ideas in the second half concerning allergic asthma . A product I also found useful for asthma cures was Knewreck Asthma Eradicator Guide

SgtGumbo: thank goodness you are here to enlighten KZfaq with your charming comments and videos. perhaps you should take your own advice if you 'almost die' a lot and yet are 'not forced' to live with asthma. you missed the point of my comment, which was about quality of life. ps. look up the word 'bicker', it's -not- synonamous with complain, and in fact applies to your comment and not mine. have a great day and stay in school!

Is athmatich cough different from Asthma like shortness of breath?

Isnt Cough Variant Asthma also triggered by viral infections?

I think this is me..I have a spirometry test scheduled for February 21, 2024. My cough has been ongoing for nearly 4 years, though i am on prescription Omeprazole for Heartburn as well as Flonase for post nasal drip. Yet, i still cough

I have this type of asthma and it sucks but it's better to know.

I hate it wish never got it,started 2015 ://worst thing wen ur ill aswell :/

I already knew I had asthma...but I've had a dry cough for 4 days or so now, though my doctor told me I have a virus.

I was using Qvar for my CVA and my health provider switched patients to Alvesco now be it has caused chronic eye problems.

I can have a cough four 6 to 7 month at a time

i have respiratory asthma, but a lot of the time i guess an awful chesty cough that comes at night, which is annoying as it is then hard to go to sleep, i’m on 2 inhalers nightly medication and steroids if needed.

I suffer from this as well, i cough all the time mostly when im at home, i see an allergist every once a week but the ventolin inhaler and symbicort isnt helping, im also getting allergy shots, i have no propblem breathing i breath normally but its the coughing and weezing thats driving me crazy

i have probably asthmatic cough because i cough every day and i havent problem with wheezing or breathing but my cough is realy chronical because when i get strong cough its like realy lound coughing and i have visited many specialists and i learn to handle bad cough situation without stress sometimes its diffuclt you know but its life

Try yoga, meditation, Herb's, a plant based diet and drink herbel tea's, Blessed Be.

I've been sick since Thursday... its Tuesday now...

Hmm interesting. I never heard of this before. I'm asthmatic and my biggest symptom is coughing. Tho sometimes my peakflow does drop also.

with my asthma i seem to do alot of coughing but lots of time i vomit from it. im not sure if this is the type of astma i have or not. im on 2 types of inhalers but this still conitnues.

I have that cough for years, I sound like the Tourette sound , I scare a lot of people around me 😂, it sounds like a laugh as well. The only time I don’t have it in during exercise. It is triggered by cold air and irritant like chemicals or perfume or laundry detergent..

I have it for 3 years 😒

has anyone here been to the hospital for caugh variant asthma

People with cough variant asthma have just as much trouble breathing as those with typical symptoms of wheezing. Coughing can over-exasperate inflamed lungs and air pathways (trachea) by which asthma itself is extensively most commonly triggered by viral infections; leading to injudicious actions of more severe chest tightness and even dilapidated lungs most commonly linked to COPD. However, the biggest issue with this disorder is the perplexity of its' lack of awareness. EMTs and even Triage nurses fail to recognize the symptoms of CVS, and dismiss it as an allergy which respectively prevents effective care. People with CVS have been denied effective care including but not limited to Corticosteroid medicines (anti-inflammatory steroids) such as nebulizer treatments and prednisone. Due to this negligence, those with symptoms of CVS are considered nugatory out of negligible awareness of this chronic disorder. This chronic asthmatic symptom is also an underlying condition that causes bleeding of the trachea, which is more common with those with CVS due to chronic coughing by which further irritation leads to more inflammation. Dryness is moreso stimulated in the trachea by synthesis of Retrocausality (cause and effect reversed). *It is important to note that all doctors are NOT Experts in any specific medical professions that they are not educated and trained for. According to immunologists at the Mayo Clinic of allergies and asthma "Though allergic asthma is very common, there are other types of asthma with different kinds of triggers. For some people, asthma can be triggered by exercise, infections, cold air, gastroesophageal reflux disease or stress. Many people have more than one kind of asthma trigger." Are asthma and allergies the same thing? The answer is NO, absolutely not. Allergies are caused when the immune system becomes hypersensitive to an allergen, causing the immune system to act as if it was under threat. Asthma is a respiratory disorder that restricts the airways and makes it difficult to breathe. Asthma triggered by environmental factors like pet dander, pollutants, mold, anything edible by human consumption may be congruent against your lifestyle.. However (my opinion)If your asthma is caused by other factors like stress, exercise or is worsen by other respiratory illnesses, then a PULMONOGOLIST may be a better fit.
