Never had problems with my lungs, asthma, etc but do have High Blood Pres. & think I'm having some issues w/angina. Heart disease is hereditary and my dad has asthma. Also this winter having some problems w/wheezing - I can hear when falling to sleep and definate issues w/my breathing from overexertion which causes coughing attack. Always been healthy, hard working, 45 yr old female, my work is very physical, but the sputum I just spit after shoveling had alittle red in it - thought it was blood. I've been to my doctor for other issues and worry he'll think I'm just a worry wart - but thinking I better see him regarding this??

I'm somewhat of an EXPERT on this (I suffer Asthma COPD, and Chronic Bronchitis for the last 7 years. According to what you are describing I would say it sounds more like COPD than pneumonia. The dry coughing, Ask the pharmacist if she cna have something like Mucinex (you'll need to have a list of ALL the meds she's taking) To lossen the phlegm, If not then try the old vicks vaporizer, and the crap you put in with the water. If ya need anything else Contact me.

Sounds like a combination of the cold air and exercise induced asthma, See a doctor

Most hospitals or clinics have a nurse line where you can talk to a nurse about the problems that you're having. I would try that. And don't worry about asking your doctor about this. It's better to be safe than sorry. Good luck!

You dr. should schedule you for a nuclear stress test to rule out underlying coronary artery disease. Meanwhile, lay off the snow shovel.
