I say look to the medications you are taking. Look up each one and see which could cause your symptoms. Too often the cure is worse than the disease...
Case in point: I have been having daily coughing fits for 18 months....since I started on a drug to lower blood pressure. I finally looked up the side effects and there it is: coughing!

@afrobin I was on the same medication a number of years ago -- lisinopril? I called my PCP and told her I was coughing a lot and she immediately said it was from that drug and switched me. Apparently that is a very common side-effect of that drug. My sister takes it though and has no problem at all.
