Hi, @adkindt—welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It's a great idea to see if you can chat with others who have gone through the chronic cough clinic at Mayo Clinic. I bet there are others on Connect who have gone through chronic cough clinics or similar elsewhere, too.

I personally had a chronic cough, and the doctors I saw tested me 12-13 years ago for multiple potential causes of cough: gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), asthma, sinusitis and allergies. For a while, a gastroenterologist trialed me on GERD medication. But he finally determined I did not have GERD. The end diagnosis for me was adult-onset asthma.

I'd like to introduce you to some members who have mentioned the esophageal pH monitoring test and may have some information for you on their experiences: @auntnanny @jenblalock @tdrell @rebecross @t98. I'd also like you to meet @windwalker.

adkindt, other members have talked about the esophageal manometry test you said you have upcoming in December. Please meet @jackielb @rstel7272 @margaretmary, who may have some information on how this test goes.

How long have you had a chronic cough, adkindt? Is there anything that temporarily brings you relief?
