The title of this post suggests how things seem to be feeling on my side. The cough that has been plaguing me for quite a long time seems to be getting worse lately. I am not too sure why.
When I last saw the specialist at the respiratory medicine department in August last year, I was told that my lungs and respiratory system were functioning fine. Asthma was ruled out. Yet, the specialist figured that my cough appeared to be related to my nose and throat being especially sensitive to certain things. However, they could not point outwhat I was exactly sensitive to.
I did manage to figure out certain things do seem to trigger the cough to start. These are: smoke, cigarette smoke, the pungent smell from certain detergent (which explains why I can hardly be found at the detergent section of any supermarket), cold drinks, too much ice-cream, certain spicy food etc.
I wonder what has triggered the cough that I have been having recently. I ain't sure if it has to do with me totally cutting down on Flixonase. Flixonase is a nasal spray and I was given this prescription to reduce my nose from being so sensitive. Well, to some extent, it did help a bit, but I don't like steroids! Anyway, I would like to attribute my recent worsening in my coughing to the poor air, the bad weather, and the stressful lifestyle.
Taking about stressful lifestyle, I have my fair share of headaches this afternoon. I wish that they could keep themselves away from me. Anyway, I was glad that the headaches subsided by the time I reached home. I have planned to practise on my instrument tonight, and headaches will spoil the plan. I guess my instrument has somehow got to know my plans, and have very wisely persuaded the headaches to go away?
