bronchitis gerd
Chronic Cough, 17 Months?? Please Help!!?
What is the reason for this cough. Could it have anything to do with his stomach because whenever he coughs a lot he burps. He also throws up a lot. His stomach is sensitive. He can’t eat a lot of food, and certain types of foods. He used to smoke but stopped 17 months ago and that is when he got this cough. He had it but it wasn’t this bad. it was a small cough. The cough he has right now is dry. No mucus comes out when he coughs. He feels his chest to his throat is all dry. sometimes the cough lasts a couple of days straight. he has tried nose sprays recomended by doctors but they don’t work. He has been tested for bronchitis and the doctor says his lungs are clean and good. the doctor said that he doesn’t have bronchitis. He also tested for alergies and he does not have any. He tested for gerd as well and he doesn’t have gerd. he’s 57 years old and it has been going on for 17 months. sometimes he can’t breathe. Please, please help. Thank you to all suggestions and advice.
Coughing and burping are mediated by the same nerve, the Vagus (CN X).
Because he was a smoker and he’s 57, he may have what is called “cardiac cough”. What did his chest X-ray show?
He very well could have GERD that wasn’t detectable by an upper GI series, as they are static (motionless) X-rays. Coughing can trigger an episode of burping and reflux, and vice versa.
I suggest he go back for videofluoroscopy of swallowing (modified barium swallow). It is videotaped in real time. Be sure he tells the examiner (usually a speech pathologist– we’re trained in swallowing disorders and the X-ray tests) that he burps when he coughs so that he’ll have the best chance of identifying the problem.
His symptoms do suggest there is a “motility disorder”. The suspicious part is what you say about the small amount of food, and the types, that he can tolerate. Just because they don’t think he’s got GERD doesn’t mean he has occasional problems with reflux.
See a gastroenterologist.
In the meantime, you may want to try an anti-reflux medicine, like Prilosec, Zantac, or Pepcid.
