I am relieved that there is a clear and definite and relatively easily treatable reason for the cough, and that you are treating it and coughing less.
I can sympathize with the hard-to-breathe/fear/harder-to-breathe, as I too had asthma as a child. Given that experience, I can also concur with gwynyth's experience that coughing a lot can cause upper-back, rib, and/or chest pain, and with her experience that a hot soak helps. Given elusis's differing experience that extremes of temperature make things worse, though, I won't actually *recommend* it, if that makes any sense.
