If I have to cough, it is usually not something I can hold back because it is mucous in the lungs that is stopping me from breathing. Most days I'm clear for hours after the initial morning coughing. Actually, now that i think about it, they would have to pull me out for me to clear that.
I can understand the nose itch. Happens to me when I have a CT scan. Fortunately they only take a few minutes.
Take a deep breath Deb. The results aren't going to be any different if you worry about them. Go do something nice for yourself to take your mind off of it. Here's hoping for good news.
Take care,
Eileen
