Re: To AmyZ re bronchial tubes

[Guest guest]

January of 1999, one year before the hives, I had a large cyst and my

Wolf Duct (?) removed. Because I'm very big, they did ALOT of

testing before the surgery. My lung test then was 5.5 liters. Is

that what you meant?

And the coughing isn't worse at night - it's worse right after a

shower but not bad now.

Thanks!

> Hi, there, just wanted to chime in with Jackie (I think) who

suggested getting tested for asthma. The sort of inflammation of the

bronchial tubes you are describing kind of sounds like

asthma........and coughing worse at night can be a symptom too. Have

you ever monitored your peak flow, for instance? love Carol

Hi Amy

I must say I've never heard of a " wolf duct " . What I meant by checking your

peak flow was monitoring your lung function with a peak flow meter - a

simple handheld device that measures the amount of air that can be exhaled

after taking a deep breath. A drop in the normal reading points to an

imminent attack; a rise indicates that therapy is working. Having said all

that, it doesn't sound like asthma is your problem, which is good news! Glad

to hear your cough is better. Best wishes, Carol
