Ether 5Every time I eat I start coughing AFTER I have finished my meal. You know the feeling when you are starting to get sick and there is stuff in your throat and it makes you cough?
This is how it feels after eating. I can actually feel something in my throat and I cough and have to clear my throat for about an hour after every meal. It is VERY annoying!
What is this? How do I make it go away?
It sounds like you have acid reflux. The digestive fluids in your stomach go back thru the cardiac [ valve from esophagus to stomach ] sphincter to your esophagus, causing that gagging, coughing feeling.
Try:
1] smaller, more frequent meals
2] don't lie down after eating - wait 4 hrs before going to bed
3] wear looseclothes [ waistbands, belts ]
4] loose weight if you are too heavy
5] elevate the head ofyour bed
6] a spoonul of vinegar works
IF this doesn't help, see your doctor, before it progresses to cause damage to your esophagus.

Great stomping Jug Band take of Woody Guthrie’s 1938 Dust Bowl song. As a music-hungry 12 year old, like everyone else it seemed, I went out & bought ‘In The Summertime’. Since then it’s this great b-side stomper that only gets played. (Dawn DNX2502)

My husband just found out he has Emphysema. I’m not sure what phase he might be in, but it’s very confusing. He has never smoked, but both parents smoked all his life. He is now 27 yr old how long can he live with this??? All the websites are not very clear on it.
Emphysema in a 27 year old non-smoker?? I have to seriously — I do mean VERY seriously — doubt that diagnosis. My advice to you would be to get your husband to some different doctors. Pulmonary specialists, internal disease specialists, as many as you need to go to. There are many, many diseases and disorders that can look like emphysema on a chest X-ray. Several are auto-immune or even genetic (like enzyme deficiencies). Has he had either vaccinations or viral infections recently? If so, over-stimulation of the immune system has been recently linked to the onset of many auto-immune disorders.
To answer your question, people can live a very long time with emphysema. I’m willing to bet, however, that emphysema is NOT what he has.
Good luck…
