Should I be Tested?

yahoo2008 · Jun 26, 2007

Hi, I am a healthy 25 year old male, who runs and plays basketball twice a week. I was diagnosed with bronchitis around April 3rd. The cough lasted for about 6 weeks and then went down to 3-4 coughs a day for a few more weeks. It's been almost 2 months now and I am still feeling the rattling in my chest at least once a day, then it stays in my throat, this goes on around 11am-2pm. especially if I drink water. It then disappears until the next morning. For the past few weeks I only cough once or twice, which is a wet-cough. During the whole 2 months I only spit out phlegm twice, it was a greenish color. Now, Its just clear thick mucus, not sure if that's because I am unable to properly spit out the phlegm. For the past month my nose also feels congested and I had to blow my nose 4-5 a day. That has now eased up.

So far I've taken azithronmycin which completely helped me get over the annoying coughs that lasted all day (6-14 wet coughs). Also taken IOPHEN-C for a few weeks now and Claritan. My chest X-ray at 6 weeks came out perfectly normal.

I do not feel fatigue, no chest pain, or no difficulty in breathing. The doctor said I had swollen lymph nodes. I also do not have the other symptoms of CF.

I was diagnosed with asthma when I was 16 after catching phenomonia. My mother also died of lung cancer when she 49. I am worried sick right, please help. I also eat a lot and do not gamin much weight. 5'11 and 160lbs.

Do these sound like symptons of CF?
