Treatment Guidance Please...Bronchiectasis/Asthma/Reflux

Hello, I have MAC and recently, I have been coughing uncontrollably with mucus. I recently had Covid and the problem appeared to get worse after I tested negative.
I have tried the Azelastine, in the past; it helps some, but not all of the time.
What is Stiolta?
I also cough a lot after I eat. Does this sound familiar to you? TUMS can typically calm these episodes.
I was diagnosed with this condition in 2015.

I also have mucus and I need to clear my throat all day long. It is worse after I eat.
I have been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and have read that a hiatal hernia can cause overproduction of mucus and the need to clear the throat. If I understood correctly and am explaining it correctly, with the hiatal hernia the mucus is the body's way to compensate for the acid problem, counteract the acid.
So for me I have to some what assume, hate having to assume, that much of what I have to clear out of my throat is due to the mucus associated with the hiatal hernia. If I am not mistaken Tums is used to control acid. I am not taking any med's for the hiatal hernia/acid. My choice. From all I have heard and read it is a choice of allowing meds to possibly cause other problems or staying away from med's and hope for the best. Strange thing though, I can sleep until I awake due to my bladder telling me to eliminate. I do have to clear my throat some and then go back to sleep.
Not sure if you have posted that you either have Acid Reflux or a Hiatal Hernia??
