Late 50s - generally fit and well, don't drink alcohol, never smoked, no issues with indigestion. But for most of my adult life have had 'a little cough'. I've often tried to find a tenuous reason for it - walking into a stressful situation, feather pillows, cats. it's a tickly little cough that comes on suddenly. If I have a drink to hand or can have a good cough, it goes. Sometimes I feel the need to clear my throat.
I rarely go to the doctors but have over the years consulted my GP about it, not because it's severely impacting my life, just because I thought it best to do so. I've had a couple of chest xrays - 20 years apart - all fine. Last time I visited I saw an Associate who prescribed Omeprazole. It didn't help my cough and gave me stomach ache so I stopped taking it.
I need to visit people's homes with work - not a care role. They are calm, clean homes, occasionally with pets, and often my 'little cough' starts as though caused by the change of environment; no stress involved in the visits.
Does anyone experience anything similar? What can I do to stop or control it?
