Welcome to connect. I’m sorry you need to be here, but believe you’ll find it a helpful and supportive group.

You certainly have my sympathy. Before my diagnosis and treatment (sinuses and mild asthma), I had horrid bouts of coughing along with a little nagging cough. Exhausting and embarrassing.

A few questions…
Since the coughing occurs with eating, have you been checked for reflux?

Has your doc ordered another CT?

Do you do airway clearance?

Yes I am dealing with the exact same thing. I’m sure it’s reflux. So far I haven’t found anything that helps. I’m taking both Prilosec and Pepcid. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate your sharing. Thanks

I have never been able to produce much. It IS exhausting and frustrating. Getting a sample is almost impossible also!

@rosacav pretty much the only time I cough is with eating/drinking. I had a full gerd work-up, all normal. I had a barium swallow test, normal. I am soon to see a laryngologist to see what they have to say. I have no idea if the coughing is related to the BE/MAC, but my immediate concern is that I am obviously aspirating, and there is a significant connection between aspirating and BE/MAC. Have you had your sputum tested recently?
