Are these all related? I have had problems off and on (which I now have down to a science) for about a year now. The coughing is the worst. I'll cough for a few minutes until I cough up clear phelm and then I'm fine until it starts again. This will go on for about 2 weeks , then all symptoms subside for about a month or so. I have been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia (had throat scoped 6 months ago. Now Im on Zegrid and it really doesnt seem to be helping. Any suggestions?
