I thank you so much for the info. Yes I am seeing a pulmonary doctor. I change insurance so I had to find a new one. He says I may have sleep apnea also. He ordered a test for me. I have not heard from anyone yet. I have had this along time. Sometimes I choke up, throw up, and I heat up and get red in the face. Everytime I get up start to do anything I cough. I stay home all the time and no friends and family comes to see me, nor do I go see them. This cough controls me. I have a sad life.
