Chronic cough is much better now.

I had a chronic cough that lasted a year and a half. I was pretty much house bound. The only relief I got was when I was able to lie down. The coughing stopped then. I saw an ENT, lung Dr, primary Doctor. Was scheduled to see a heart specialist. I changed primary doctors, and he prescribed pantoprazole 40 mg. He said it could be "silent acid reflux." He got it right. My previous Dr said it was COPD.
In addition, I stopped drinking carbonated drinks which trigger the coughing. I also almost completely cut out caffeine. This triggers the coughing as well.
This has given me my life back.
