Question: Everytime I eat, I cough for like five minutes!.!.!.!?
The heat of food gives me a very productive cough!.
The doctors say it's asthma, but my family doubts him!.
I can't even take asthma meds, too many reactions!!!
I've been rushed to the ER twice in April due to these reactions!.

Can it be something besides asthma & if so!.!.!.WHAT!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It sounds like GERD: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease!. The stomach acid splashes up and irritates the esophagus causing couging and sometimes nausea and burning!. Does it only happen when you eat hot food!? Try eating it lukewarm and see if that helps!. Did it just start, or has it been lifelong!? I can't see how they could diagnose you with asthma with those symptoms!. Asthma causes shortness of breath, not food related, unless it's some kind of allergy!. But t hen it would only happen when you ate the allergen, whatever it was!.

Do you have insurance!? Get another opinion, and ask for a upper GI scope!. They should be taking a look to see what is going on!. You might be developing ulcers from the acid, and that can lead to bleeding!. I know, I had them and almost died from internal bleeding, and needed lots of transfusions!.

Anytime someone develops a chronic condition, it needs to be examined to see what is causing it!. It could also be a serious allergy if it has put you in the ER!. Don't accept the asthma diagnosis!. It's your health, and you need to ask questions and demand better care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

With Asthma you should have whizzing, do you!? Perhaps they are right, it is difficult to accept the diagnosis!. There may be another possibility that of Acid reflux, and you can get a second Opinion, from another Doctor!. Do follow through, and take care of yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
