started with a slight cough in november 2009 which i thought would go away. It didnt.

Came back from skiing on march 27th and within 4 days of returning had developed a persistent cough....felt as if i had swallowed a bag of feathers.
Doc gave me inhalers....they havent helped.
Was admitted to hospital with pain around heart at the weekend and they have told me i have pericarditis.
Cant get this cough to budge and it feels like im spitting feathers.......anyone got or had similar?

Have googled a bit too much and am worrying if i have leukaemia,tb or something awful

I can't help with the pericarditis but my mum and i always get that horrible dry cough after eating dairy foods.

I have cut dairy at home but can't when I'm out so i know the symptoms.

Googling yr. symptoms is a bit anxiety making isn't it?

Wish you better.
