Thanks. I don't usually go to the doctor for colds, coughs, or other minor things. But I think I have good instincts when something minor indicates something seriously off. Normally I would have waited out this cough for a few days but something this morning just felt like waiting might be a bad idea and i'm glad I went. The last (and only time) I called for an ambulance for myself was for something really really minor that turned out to be a heart attack.

Geez though I am in misery today... not coughing badly if I sit up but so incredibly sleepy that i can't watch TV and as soon as I close my eyes and start to slump in any direction i'm up and coughing again.
