Have you had recurrent colds / chest infections?

What was the eventual cause?

I've been getting (low grade) colds/chest infections over and over for the past two years and the symptoms linger for 2-3 months each time. Prior to this I was rarely ill. I've been to the gp a few times and they've never taken a sample or anything, just listened to my chest.

I've been prescribed 4 different antibiotics in the past 3 months... I asked if I could get a sputum sample or even a chest x-ray or something at this point as I'm constantly ill and he shrugged me off and said I'm just unlucky.

Thoughts?
