Tamoxifen and breathlessness

Hi 

I was tested last year for a constant cough and dry tickle. After pulmonary breathing tests X-ray and ct scan it came up I had mild bronchiectasis. No known cause other than it could’ve been a bad chest infection from years ago. 
Im not on any medication for it but need to do breathing exercises. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer my stress and anxiety flared it back up and at the min I’m struggling with a dry tickly cough again

I wonder whether mine is stress related. My asthma flared up just before I started chemo in September last year, I had steroids as I was really struggling.

I've just started back at work and teaching different classes and I think I've subconsciously been anxious about that. 

I think stress and anxiety could be a trigger. But would def get it checked out. By a dr x 

The cough is irritating, but I can live with it. It's the not being able to hold a conversation while walking up stairs, despite being on the highest possible dose of my inhalers, that's a pain.

That and the fact I was just starting to feel ready to go out wearing a corset again, having had surgery in 2019, but if I can't breathe without a corset I certainly won't be able to breathe in one, never mind dance! Sometimes I think my body just hates me and is slowly trying to stop me doing all the things I enjoy.

I know stress makes my asthma worse, it always has. But always in the past I've either been able to effectively use my reliever, or increase my preventer slightly for a month or two, and then when things have improved drop back to my usual dose. I've now been on the highest possible dose of the preventer for over a year with no improvement, and the reliever is only intermittently effective.

Hope you get yours sorted out. At least you'll be able to go in to the nurse with your peak flow results already to hand
