Asthma

[julie48]

Hi recently i keep developing a cough, this is usually if i have laughed a lot?? a couple of people who have heard me have asked if i have asthma. its like once i have laughed this cough just attacks me. the last time happened last friday evening, i cant remember if it was jsut after laughing or when i left the house, within 5-10mins, so cant quite put my finger on it. I was coughing for a couple of hours and then alos some of the next day. do you have any advice?

Many thanks

I wouldn't immediately suspect it to be asthma... simple respiratory infections can cause coughing too, and they're especially common at this time of year. Considering it's a recent thing I'd recommend going to a doctor and letting them listen to your lungs. They should be able to ascertain if you have any kind of respiratory infection.
