What causes labored breathing with dry cough?
Patient: for three days my wife has felt like breathing has been difficult in an asthmatic kind of way. Labored breathing with a dry cough. She just had a yearly checkup and was fine. no other health issues and she keeps herself fit. No alcohol or tobacco.any insights? Doctor: Hi. I can understand your concern. It would be advisable for you to get a chest x ray done. If it is normal then get a PFT done which will tell if she ahs asthma or not.Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
