(photo by Oke) Cough may suggest trouble When you breathe• normally, air goes through your windpipe at a speed of 10 miles an hour. when you cough, you whip up hurricane wind speeds, The blast of air is created in milliseconds in your windpipe by a rapid increase in pressure built up by powerful chest muscles. As the cough starts, your windpipe constricts to one-seventh its usual size. The amount of air in the windpipe increases seven times. Then out comes the cough. At a speed of almost 500 miles an hour. The cough is a sign of distress -- and an attempt to relieve the distress. Coughing is one way the respiratory system and to get . rid of excess mucus irritants. But some coughs can be useless because they do not clear our mucus and irritants. They only add to irritation. The time of day you cough can be a clue to what's causing it. A smoker's cough--which can develop into chronic bronchities -- usually occurs most often in the morning to clear out excess secretions that accumulate during the night. Coughs caused by TB may also be most troublesome in the morning. Coughs caused by sinus conditions, however, often happen most at night when a person is lying down. Whenever it happens, a per- sistent cough requires medical attention and should not be sup- pressed with the aid of home remedies. Your cough is trying to tell you something. Start listening. And to find out more about sym- ptoms of lung disease, contact your local lung association. It's a •matter of life and breath. Yours. home of Mr. and Mrs. Hilton Laing, Exeter.
