Does anyone else have night time coughing and swallowing issues? I wake up frequently with either the urge, but inability to swallow- or, alternately, I wake myself up because I'm swallowing convulsively, end up swallowing bubbles of air and then have the desire to cough (which sets off intercostal cramping).
Does anyone have any idea what this may be? I thought it was GERD or something, but the prescription my doctor gave me has done nothing- my voice continues to get rougher and the swallowing/coughing continues unchecked. I'm in line to get an appointment with a specialist (no idea who, no idea when), but am looking for some ideas on how to deal with it in the meantime.
Many thanks
