I had pneumonia in October/November.....a chest infection in December/early January, and now I have another chesty cough thing brewing. I have been coughing since october it feels like. My prolapse is getting worse as a result, I am self employed and losing money hand over fist, and I am so fed up. Not sure why Im posting....just wanted to whinge. Tho does anyone know, why do colds always seem to end up on my chest??

My child has had similar recently and is having test into her immune system. Now it probably isn’t this but look up immune deficiency I was surprised to learn that most are actually diagnosed as adults. Maybe ask your gp for bloods to check you immune system

I hope you have some relief soon. It’s awful always feeling unwell.
