I am a type 1 diabetic with history 7 years ago of graves disease which went away following year bocl and replace therapy.. the graves was brought on by pregnancy. the only medication is use is insulin, my blood pressure is lways on the low side of normal, i do not had proteinurea and am not on ace inhibitors. Is it just a virus or do i need my chest xrayed. thanks
[|AI|]  Hi, You are Type I diabetes and hope it is under control with the use of insulin, The symptoms and history which you have given indicates Post viral state where secondary infection and with the use of Proper antibiotics it should subside, It is prolonging as you required albuterol it means bronchospasm is there, in such cases a nebulizer therapy may help you. Also post viral Chat Doctor.  If your bronchospasm is relieved may take antitussives in consultation of your chest Physician. In any case if no relief go for X-ray to rule out any significant pathology as you are a Diabetic patient. Best of Luck
