Asthma and bronchitis problems?
If you have been hacking up Flem for about 3 or so months every year for at least 2 years then I am sorry you may have chronic bronchitis. I do not get why doctors do not help you, but then again they can not figure out what is wrong with my girlfriends thyroid so they must be retarded on top of changing their views every 2 visits. The only thing I can think of is that you clear up with treatments then that is why your doctors do not get it. Also depends on where you live, if your in a dry cold area, because you said this happens in winter then your airways tend to become more constricted and that will affect your asthma. Since asthma is a COPD then it can be the problem behind bronchitis and creating all that mucus. You may want to try a humidifier to wet your lungs down in the cold dry climate, or use a mucolytic to help with all the mucus. If your going for the mucolytic then you will need a bronchodialator like albuterol as well, can not use the mucolytics w/o the bronchodialator. Another drug would be a corticosteroid to help with the inflammation and always remember to swish and spit so you do not develop thrush. Dry cold weather will hit a COPD pretty hard and since you have asthama you should fall under that category. Other than that all I can think of is get really sick, but do not die and then go to the doctors, they should be able to tell then. Try looking up COPD and they involve chronic bronchitis, asthma, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis(which is developed at an early age and you would know about this disease), and emphysema. Try consulting a respiratory therapist and not a doctor, a good RRT could figure out your problem and not give you BS.
