Why Won't My Cough Go Away? The Most Common Causes of a Chronic Cough | Ep. 81

Why Won't My Cough Go Away? The Most Common Causes of a Chronic Cough | Ep. 81

Alright, Dr. Rock here.

Got a cough that just won't go away? I'm not talking about the annoying cough that hangs around after a cold for a little while. I'm talking about the cough that's been keeping you up at night for weeks, months, or even years.

In this episode, I'm breaking down chronic cough and some of the most common reasons you might still be coughing, including a few causes that may surprise you.

We'll rock through:

  • Postnasal drainage, allergies, and chronic sinus problems
  • Asthma, including cough-variant asthma that may happen without wheezing
  • Acid reflux and "silent reflux," even if you never experience heartburn
  • Blood pressure medications that can trigger a persistent cough
  • Smoking, COPD, and other lung conditions
  • When a chronic cough could signal something more serious
  • What your doctor may do to figure out what's actually causing it

Here's the big takeaway: a chronic cough isn't something you necessarily have to learn to live with. Sometimes the problem isn't even coming from your lungs, and getting to the root cause can make all the difference.

If you've been coughing for weeks and can't figure out why, it's time to quit guessing and talk with your healthcare provider.

Keep rocking your health! 🤘
