    EIA here too. I only have to use my puffer if the temps are below 10 celcius. If not, I hack up a lung... I am glad to hear you're seeing a doctor. They'll help you figure it out.

    I also thought about "Pursuitor's (sp?) Cough" but it doesn't sound like you were working that hard. (I get the awful hacking cough if I ride very hard and it's cooler out whether I've used my ventolin or not.)

    I'm guessing that once they slurp that embolism out of your lungs the irritation and excessive mucous and poor lung function will clear right up!

    Thanks again ladies. I rode this morning in similar temps and did fine...but it was a little slower pace, flatter, and with less wind. I guess the lung function test next month will give me more info. I will tell the doc about it though.

    Knotted, just to clarify-it's not a PE but what was called a "nodule." From what I've read a lesion less than 3cm is called a nodule and over 3cm is called a mass...but yes, if it has to be removed I hope all my problems will be solved...thank you.

    emily, bronchitis...that's a thought...maybe the cold didn't completely clear up.

    Can't wait until I actually get some answers to my questions from my doc!
