tjanzing Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'm going off of the medicines I've taken for the past 2 years so that my testing will be more accurate for dysautonomia when I go on the 30th. At the beginning of my more severe problems I was coughing lots in the morning until I'd eventually throw up. The coughing has started again....does this happen to anyone else?

futurehope Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 When you say ,"for no reason", can I take that to mean that your cough has been evaluated by the medical community and nothing has been found as a cause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I've had periods of time when I'd cough spontaneously with changes in position, especially getting up. Wasn't sick, didn't have phlegm or anything to cough up, no known irritant... felt more like a pulmonary pressure wierdness. It hasn't happened recently. I don't think I had nausea at the same time... though I've had periods of mild nausea too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighting4health Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I spontaneously got asthma-like symptoms where I couldn't speak a full sentence without coughing or getting hoarse. It lasted for several months. I did a pulmonary test that came back completely normal (shocker). My doctor prescribed a steroid inhaler anyways and it took care of all those symptoms. I was able to wean myself off of it after about 6 months and am totally fine without it now. No rhyme or reason for any of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjay Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I cough before I throw up. It is not really a cough for me (like when you have a cold). It is only before a puke but sometimes I can stop myself.I think you have to think about what kind of cough it is and is it productive.Good luck to you.

Elfie Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I seem to cough for no reason after eating, which is completely knew. I think it is related to dysautonomia symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband says I never really quit coughing but it's definitely more since I've been going off of Zoloft and Klonopin. I also don't always breathe at night. Had a sleep study and they said my nervous system just didn't tell me to breathe all the time but not enough to use a C-PAP or oxygen. This also really concerns my husband.

My coughing doesn't always lead to nausea....it's more then but I always cough most in the morning when I have the most other POTS symptoms.

toddm1960 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Sounds like reflux to me, have you had a bravo? This a test where they clip a small sensor to your esophagus and track your acid production for 48 hours. You wear a small receiver that records everything. Many don't feel the heartburn that they do have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia3 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 sounds strange...are you on one of those beta blockers known to cause asthma? Just woke up and too sleepy to think of which ones cause this....weird what the sleep place told you..mild sleep apnea...? but that's during sleeping.

The sleep place said that because I only stopped breathing 3 times and not 5 times during testing that I didn't qualify by insurance standards for treatment. I felt that any times of not breathing weren't good and considering that I hardly slept that night because of all the discomfort I wondered how many times I normally stop breathing.
