Well , I finally had the bronch done and it seems I have something called tracheomalacia. This is a degeneration of the cartilage making up the walls of the trachea. It causes weakness and floppiness of the walls of the trachea. Go figure! I go to see the doc on Thurs. to see what we can do about it, since this is what is causing my cough and breathing problems.
