Zinker diverticulum

I haven’t had treatment for the K-J yet. Had been dealing with GERD which got under control with meds and diet. I. I no longer on meds. Then this nighttime coughing up mucus led to getting the barium swallow test showing the Killian-Jamison diverticulum which is very rare. So I decided Mayo would have more experience if I need surgery. It is getting worse as experiencing food caught more often plus can’t get a good night’s sleep with nightly coughing and mucus. Hoping for Mayo help.

@pza try elevating head of bed 3-5 inches and see if that doesn’t help you sleep better
