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.

@dtrinkle54- At this time, with so much going on in your life it's normal to feel sad and depressed. I agree with @spudmato that you should seek out counseling to help you through this and maybe reunite with your family. Stress can also increase coughing. Right now you might think that things are out of control. But you can begin to reverse this, no one else can. It has to be you.
