Been coughing every summer ever since I got Covid-19 ~2 years ago. Last year I had a cough and horrible post-nasal drip for about 5-6 months and now it seems like it's about to start up again. My doctor told me the cough is probably anxiety. The cough is really weird. It's like when I start coughing a lot I find it hard to stop but when I stop thinking about the cough I don't cough anymore. Sometimes it feels like it's hard to breathe. Like my lungs aren't expanding enough. I'm worried about asthma but it's probably very unlikely cause no one in my family has asthma, I'm 21 years old and I don't smoke. And when I cough there is no wheeze. Right now I also got a headache and get lightheaded every now and then but that's just probably from working too much. I really wish there was some way to just stop this. Like a non-prescription medicine. It sucks to suffer and not even be able to afford to go to the doctor or even to therapy.
