“I agree with you. Of all the allergy sufferers I’ve known, none of them cough uncontrollably. Funny that she didn’t suffer these ‘allergies’ years ago. Hillary has something wrong with her.”
Sorry, have to disagree. Until I moved to Texas, I didn’t know what allergies were. In the last 10 years, when I get allergies and it is pretty much the entire year, with some periods worse than others, I have the eye itching, nose running symptoms, but I also get a scratchy throat and when I talk I have been known to cough pretty bad for a spell. Especially when I was around my dog.
Not saying she has them or doesn’t have them. Just saying allergies can last for long periods of time and can cause heavy coughing.
I guess that I am ‘lucky’ because I am 77, always suffered allergies, post nasal drip, have COPD from 50+ years of smoking heavily (quit), and I can mow half an acre of lawn in my woodsy, allergen filled area and not cough like that. I get short of breath, but I don’t cough.
My over the counter allergy med keeps me working. Maybe she can’t take the good allergy meds, Dexbrompheniramine/pseudoephedrine, with the other meds she is on?
My allergies can lead to a strong upper respiratory infection. Once it goes that far it invariably needs an antibiotic to clear up. I’m not a doctor but I know I can’t determine exactly what is wrong with a person by listening to them cough.
Having watched her coughing fits, I’m certainly suspicious as to the cause, and I’m a bit surprised she tried to give a major speech without warning her audience she might have a problem, or maybe cancelling. It was an awful attempt at rolling out her post Labor Day campaign.
