  5. I'm having this cough issue for about 23 days now. It feels like my heart's going to jump out every time I cough, and it's always a dry cough with absolutely no spit. I'm starting to get really concerned. What could this all mean? Could it be something serious?

It sounds like you're experiencing a dry, non-productive cough, which can be caused by irritation in the throat or airways. If you're feeling chest discomfort or tightness when coughing, it's important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues, especially if it's persisting for a few days. In the meantime, staying hydrated and using a soothing cough suppressant may help.
