Questions regarding RA Lung Disease

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Question for anyone who has lung disease caused by the RA, what kind of

cough do you have? Before I was officially diagnosed about 9 months ago, I

had a spell last fall with an non-productive cough, tightness in my chest

and some mild discomfort. I went through a battery of tests, from both a

cardiologist and also a lung doctor (neither of who found anything) and it

eventually resolved itself within about 6 months so I didn't think any more

of it. But it's baaaaack and I am wondering if it might be related to the

RA. I did some reading and found out that RA can affect the lungs and the

symptoms that I found listed on the internet, said that a cough is one of

them, but I don't know what type of cough.

Thanks in advance,
