Choking nocturnal cough Case study
Presenting condition: 54yr old lady with suffocating dry cough at night time for 18months.
Brief history: Blue inhaler relieves but only for a short time. Cough wakes her in the night 2-3 times and she is then awake for 1-2 hrs. Constant coughing which she can’t stop once she starts. She often goes downstairs to try and sleep sitting up so she doesn’t disturb her husband. Can’t catch her breath and a painful internal lump is present in her throat when she swallows. Also suffering with hot flushes.
Relevant timeline incidents:
46yrs Dad died. This was a shock and very hard.
50yrs Brother died unexpectedly and suddenly. Again more shock as she was also close to her brother.
Main remedy given: Ignatia
After 1st prescription:
Cough 70% gone after 3 days on the remedies! Remedy for hot flushes is easing them and she can go back to sleep easily now. 12 days after starting remedies ‘Honestly I feel like a new women! I’m sleeping better, no cough present at all. If I wake due to hot flushes getting hold of me, I take 1-2 tablets you sent and within 10 mins I am back to drifting off to sleep! I am blown away how I feel and how the remedies you sent are working wonders for me. I am due to go away on 16/5 and am not feeling anxious about flying as the cough has completely gone’
After 2nd prescription:
This appointment was at an interval of 3 months rather than 4 weeks due to client’s work commitments. However, this meant she had run out of remedies and so the body took over. Since the early days of healing the cough has never returned! She has not needed to use the blue inhaler since working with me and her sleep has improved massively. The painful internal lump in her throat has gone and not returned. Her hot flushes have decreased in intensity and frequency, with the remedy helping rapidly at night.
Emotionally she is smiling more, a lot less tearful and is more assertive. She has found my recommendation of journalling at the full and new moon very helpful.
Summary:
This lady came to me in desperation for her teasing constant nocturnal cough, which had been bothering her for 18months. After just 4 days on the right remedy, the cough disappeared and has never returned. ‘You’ve changed my life!’
