Had a very chesty cough (wheezy breathing that gets worse at night) for over a month now. Generally feel tired all of the time. Tried over the counter tablets etc but no better. Any ideas or do I really have to go to docs to get it sorted?

Don't hate me for saying this...Wink please see your GP.

If self care hasn't worked, your GP should be your next port of call for an ongoing illness.

GP who will listen to your chest. Probably Antibiotics or chest X-ray first.

Thanks guys. Went to doctor and he's put me on anti biotics for bronchitis. Reason in don't like bothering docs is that I feel a bit of a fraud going for 'just coughing and wheezing' but glad I did!

Thanks for update, funny how we all dread being seen as hypochondriacs! Glad you went, hope they kick in very soon and you feel much better.
