Anyone had it? I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago having started coughing in mid July. Coughs got worse in late July August with 24 hours of severe coughing fits including gasping for breath. 3 visits to A and E and one emergency ambulance when I was gasping for breath at Commonwealth games like a severe asthma attack. Now 8 weeks on with a diagnosis things are a little better. Still coughing 15-20 times a day and have been told it could last for 2 more months yet. its a miserable experience and one I never imagined I'd have as an adult. Any one else suffered. how long till I might resume exercise. can I do something now?
