after 15 yrs of chronic cough..I cough no more...50 mg Tramadol once in the morning...I would sometimes have a shocking feeling in the back of my throat and cough for 10 - 50 minutes...coughing up lots of phlegm..no more yeah!
Hope you feel better. I have been coughing too for the past 3 days...it's exhausting. Try Vicks vaporub just under your nose and steam. It gives some relief.
One is try clearing your throat from time to time another thing is drink water and the last one is exercise, I went to the pool swam and ran around and I’m now coughing a lot less often
He's right. I don't even want to move out of my comfortable spot because I feel like some nerves are going to get irritated and then I'll have some dry, miserable coughing spell.
I am just sobbing, just sobbing! I have been coughing like this for over 4 decades. It has impacted my life in so many ways. I have lost relationships, I can't see my friends very often all from this crazy thing. If it happens in front of children, their mothers worry that I shouldn't be around them. It's horrible. Nobody has been able to help me in ALL that time. Because nobody has understood it. I am going to send these two videos to my doctor. Let's hope she understands and helps me. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Finally, there is hope.

IKR like I’ve been trying to search what’s going on with my throat and I can’t stop coughing and now I finally found someone who knows what he is talking about 😰😭
Try smooth dairy or dark chocolates, York peppermint-patties and also Gabapentin & lysine-foods & honey & starches. They all help thicken mucuos, which helps prevent "tickle". Air-conditioning and forced-air heat & acidic/spicy/rough/chalky foods make it worse.
This is the closest description of exactly what I’m going through. My cough goes and goes suddenly for over 11 years now, I lose sleep, it causes chest pain, abdominal pain, urination, vomiting, headaches, watery eyes, leaking nose, it’s so annoying. People always assume I’m sick and offering my water
My mom did for 55 years we both had pneumonia it started after that. Cellular structure gets damaged possibly from pneumonia or avirus around the larynx
We both have the same symptom. Because of this cough. I cannot be facing anyone but stay in the house. I am so afraid of going out or going to work. My friend and families stay away from me. I told them that I am fine but no reason why this cough is keep going on and on. I have tried many ways but never had luck.
Slilppery Elm is helping me to expel the toxins in my lungs from the chemtrails. I'm going on 8 weeks of hacking. I sound like a smoker. I understand that the chemtrails include nano-size particles of fiberglass wrapped in aluminum that you can plainly see at 400x. I just ordered a microscope to check it out myself. I coughed into a paper cup, let the flem dry out, then looked at it with a magnifying glass and I saw a ton of tiny little things sparkling when I held it up to the sunlight. I can't wait to get my microscope. Then, I can monitor how much is there and try different things to remove it and watch and see if the amount goes down. If it's on my lungs, it's all over, including my brain and arteries. If it builds up over time in my arteries or brain, I could have a stroke. So, hope this helps anyone else out there who has this horrible cough that seems to never go away. There are things you can do to expel the toxins from the chem trails. I learned today the benefits of using activated charcoal powder to eliminate toxins in your body. Gonna start that tonight.
My niece is suffering from dry cough for last 1 month,, so severe during the day n a bit relieved at night. medication not helpful at all. Tried everything
@@loriboyters4171 wishing U the best. Sounds like a horror show!! Hope it's something in the air we both can just get over! U know what? I just wrote this January 2020! I didn't even check the year U wrote your comment. This was something though. If it's been years, I hope this is a much better one for U. Thanks for the information. Happy New Year!!
(Part 2 of 2) BUT, with care, good oversight, and starting at very low doses, it's surprising how many can in fact take a neuralgia medication quite successfully. Some drug interactions are only "yellow," not "red" alerts, and we often try a "yellow alert" medication in low doses. I’d hate to give up on more standard, proven treatments if-heaven forbid-Botox doesn't give adequate benefit. (Consider this informational, not medical advice. Don’t act without input from your personal physician.)
I had this last year I ran to the hospital they said it was stress. Then this year came back and I noticed the samething when I get exited and anxious I get a bubble of air coming up and cough. So annoying :/ it scares me.
When I get this cough I start immediately blowing my nose even though I don't feel like I need to. What I get is small amounts of watery drainage and after a couple minutes of continual blowing of my nose the cough stops as suddenly as it began.
Kinda, I guess..whenever I get nervous, my breathing gets very strained, and then I automatically cough because that's a way of "breathing" that I can control in that moment
I have struggled with chronic cough for many years. The cause appears to be "multi-factoral." I can say that one of the triggers is anxiety. Just hearing the voice of my boss would bring about a coughing fit. If I am experiencing negative emotions, it can get quite severe. I am guessing this is caused by stomach acid churning upwards during anxiety, splashing on my poor larynx, triggering the cough.
Tickle happens alot. And coughing all the time. It feels I might throw up at the end. Also feels like very heavy mucus is in my throat all of a sudden. Specially when eating.
So just an update. I started to take famotidine for heartburn and I cant remember the last time I coughed.. I think the last episode I had was after choking on water going to my air pipes. For the rest of that day my throat had heavy mucus and I had to cough all day. And once when I drank something cold.. thats it. Such a relief.
@@aminahshentour8002 I too believe that this can easily be solved by an antacid( even baking soda). When I take it I am relieved from larynx spasms, but never noted if the coughing diminished. Will try this tonight. Question Is mucus in the esophagus just an excess of stomach acid ( simply put)?
Hi Dr. Bastian: My cough began June of 98. I have had it ever since. I have so many of the symptoms you described. This could be me. I have been treating with a Neurologist for about 3yrs, with Baclafin. It helped at first, but not now. I am affected by cold (air conditioning), strong smells, talking, stress. I get pain in my chest. Once the spasms begin it sets off a chain like reaction, and just gets worse, as does the pain. Please tell me what you recommend I do
I traveled from Arizona to Illinois to see him. Amazing man, I cried when he understood what I had been going through. He said that many patients have reacted that way. 24/7 coughing is no picnic..
please chew and swallow fresh garlic clove and wash down with water everyday. start 3 times a day. 24/7 cough well try anything. i have 14 year cough fits daily and garlic is only relief except opiates which is no good. wish you well Jan
@@tree-hutlastname4008 hello are you the same Jan who traveled from Arizona to see him ? I cried when i found that video, I thought that Im the only one and noone could ever understand. Im so afraid of the caughing getting worse. I caugh like the whole day.. too bad. For 5 years now. Always getting anxiety when thinking of the future. Breaking down everyday after school is no fun. Could you please give more tips and explain more about what the doctor said ?
I encourage all to listen to your body and stop and think what you are breathing what you are drinking and eating. Look at the ingredients it could be damage by the synthetic chemicals. These chemicals cause nerve damage and causes you to have longer episodes of sickness than you normally have. If you learn how the lungs work to clear pathogens and environmental effects on their function it would be clear. I have eliminated milk and cream for a while and this often works. There are synthetic perfumes for example in cleaning products that accumulate and you can see in the bottle that it is harmful to nature. If it is toxic for fetuses children and fish it also irritates you and weakens you.
(Part 1 of 2) At our practice we do Botox injections into the larynx in approximately 20 patients each week, almost always for a condition called spasmodic dysphonia (SD). It is a great treatment for that disorder. By contrast, neuralgia medications seem to be the mainstay for SNC. Of the many hundreds we’ve treated for SNC, a significant percentage take other medications that seem to contraindicate these medications. If that is your circumstance, certainly no problem with a trial of Botox...
I live in north Louisiana and haven’t been able to find a doctor that does the Botox injections. When I was first diagnosed with LSN elavil worked great for me but now elavil doesn’t work.
Twenty five years with this cough. I been wrongfully diagnosed with acid reflux. Allergy diagnosis was wrong also. Mainly at night. Going from an upright position to lying down will trigger it also. Also, if I’m too hot that triggers a coughing spell too.
I developed this pattern about seven years ago after a severe cold all other symptoms disappeared except for the cough! It became almost a daily thing….My coughing occurs the moment me head hits the pillow Or when I eat cookies or chips Or when I sing Or when I get nervous or angry, the worst part is I started wearing pads then later depends because I cough do hard it caused incontinence😢 Or when I drink juice It is a hard violent cough which hurts my chest like tiny needles or leaves me teary eyed it starts with a scratchy spot in the throat, there thin mucous but it seldom passes out the mouth This sudden cough last from 2 to 4 minutes then just as sudden it’s gone y😮 He might be on to something🤔
My doctor just diagnosed this after 2 years of coughing. I also have 1 paralyzed vocal chord. Last night for the first time I took 10 mg. of Amitriptyline and I didn’t cough at all! It was a miracle!
I also have this cough for too long when I started playing with herbs iam much better .I can cough after sometime. I take ginger,cloves, thyme ,bayleaves, cinnamon,tummeric,cayyyene pepper and honey ,i drink this tea morning and night its really helping
I am so glad that after decades of living with a chronic cough, I finally found this video. I asked my GP for one of the prescriptions mentioned in part 2, and my coughing was lessened by about 80-85% - to the point where it was much easier to deal with, and my quality of life improved dramatically. Thank you so much, Dr. Bastian!
@@Laryngopedia Dr.Bastian, here's a key point. Gabapentin has similar properties as "flu-friendly" high-lysine such as eggs/dairy. ...Here's how: Gabapentin & lysine-foods & even honey/starches, thicken (thus tame) mucuos. In my case, the Gabapentin-thickened mucuous, upon being swallowed post-nasally, acts like waxy-balm. Note my brother and I both have SNC from having lived in forced-air heat houses & too much raw-onion foods & acids in childhood. But mine is worse from ongoing interaction with a difficult person. (She elicits shouting from everyone till their throats are raw.)

@@Laryngopedia Hi, thanks for your video. I have just come across it tonight, and I think this is what I have. I had a big episode of it whilst at uni in 2012 amd I put it down to anxiety. I ended up with a hiatus hernia because of the wretching. It has started up again in the last couple of weeks 😞. Does it make sense that it is worse when I am on my own as this seems to be the case
50 mg of Tramadol in the morning only ... and 16 years of coughing after I had pneumonia ..no one talks about phlegm...I can cough up 1/2 to 1 cup at a session
I have been coughing for three years and the symptoms described here describe my cough. Sometimes it feels like my taking a breath and swallowing are out of sync and I end up coughing a lot.
My mom is in the hospital and she doesn't just coughing...she cough for a long time nd now she have problems with breathing nd also blood comes out her mouth.......is this is bad help me
Ive been coughing for 15 yrs now and it all started caused of my horrible allergies,My fam hates having me around due to this chronic coughing but they don't get it! I feel an itching and mucus in my fucking throat and i cough because its the only thing that can relieve the annoying Ness of it all.I HATE THIS! Even at department stores my family finds me on the isle because they follow my cough.🗣plus i pop everyones ear drums and it happens around 50+ times a day!!😠
do they complain when youre talkin on the phone?My parents complain about that all the time. mine I think started when I was workin at a restaurant.. 15 yrs ago. used to clean the vents with eazy off.. I think that's what messed up my throat. Sometimes it goes away. but always comes back. its so annoyin.
I have the same symptoms: itching and mucus aghh and I cough cuz don't like that mucus feeling. But I also have bad allergies. What hellos me is grind ginger and mix it with hunny and store it in your fridge and have one tea spoon every morning and night before bed time. Good luck. 😃
YariGlows215 same as with , sometimes spasms and can't breath for a while, if near smoke, perfume. Often at a meeting, movie theatre anywhere there is an audience,ha limits ya life a bit. Always take water bottle, drink through straw, purse your lips keep tongue on roof of mouth, I use this for water.hope this helps. Real curse for us
this is happening to me when i breath it seems like a wolf is growling i had CT of lungs and sinus all ok nothing is working i cough 24/7 i am so tired with this :( I lost all hopes. i dont know what to do please suggest i live in first world country in europe
My mom is coughing like that... She said there is something in her throat that she thought it's a kind of phlegm, itchy that it triggered her to cough so hard made her teary eyes and runny nose. The cough is so dry and she said when spit out looks bubbly saliva. It is also disturbing because coughing would occur when it's about bedtime at night and at dawn. My mom is 76 years old
I am also in same situation. My doctor have advised some medicines. It is working but only till i take medicines. 1. Gargling with warm black tea boiled water twice daily. (no salt added) 2. Telekast F (an anti-allergy medicine) - suspecting some kind of allergy is triggering it. 3. PAN 40 (gastric tablet to be taken early morning empty stomach) - suspecting acid reflux. I really don't know which of the three is working for me but i am relived for now but it gets same when i discontinue the medicines.
Finally! I have had my cough for around a year, getting inhalers, and cough syrups, honey etc, and it would never go away, and finally someone has pinpointed my cough!!
@@marasadi8182 Thank you, but I think it was asthma, as it has now cleared on its own after so many inhaler, but it isn't the first time, I had it when I was around 7-8!
I cough up phlegm for 16 yrs. In my investigation I learned that the cellular structure which regulates the phlegm is damaged from a virus or pneumonia which I had 16 yrs ago. There is no solution but there are way to calm the cough. I take Tramadol but the regular prescrip is amitriptylene. I've had every test spent thousands over the yrs. Ricola Honey Lemon Echinecea or Dual Action is helpful in calming the cough. Also, Fisherman's Friend, Original Extra Strong, Menthol Cough Suppressant.
Not individual advice, but orienting information: SNC seems to be a neurological disorder, so treatment is via neuralgia medication. GERD-related inflammation may lower the threshold for sensory disturbance activation; so, treating GERD may help. Still, if the cough is neurogenic, it’s important not to focus on GERD, but on the neurogenic disorder GERD is simply “kicking up.” (Please consider this informational, not medical advice. Don’t act without input from your personal physician.)
I found something helpful (at least to me). Placing a hot water bottle/hot pack compress at the back of my neck completely suppressed the ‘tickle’ and therefore cough immediately. Working longer term little by little too. Please make sure that you do not have it too hot obviously….
I just want to thank you for providing this information. This has been going on for me for just over two years and I thought I was losing my mind. Unfortunately, sudden, sharp coughing also triggers migraines for me, which I also have chronically. It's not a good combination.
I have had this exact type cough since receiving the second dose of Pfizer Covid vaccine two months ago. I have Charcot-Marie Tooth syndrome (neurological). Constant cough day and night. I feel a spasm in my upper chest and have that dry, violent cough (totally non-Productive). Do I see a pulmonologist or neurologist? Or Dr Bastian?
Oh my god, Lori, the exact same thing has happened to me. I have searched everywhere to find out whether or not the second vaccine of the Pfizer vaccination has caused this for others. I hope you are feeling better. Anyone else had this experience post second Covid jab?
Thank you, Dr Bastion, so much for posting this video. I have been living with a cough for over 3 years. Your description was like it was written about me. I almost cried when I heard there is hope for relief from this cough. I only wish I lived closer to Chicago so I could come to your office. Thank you again.
My father cough for about 6 years (not exact). Until now he is still coughing. He was diagnosed with TB 20 years ago. Then coughing again. Can someone there tell me what is happening to my father? We can't go to hospital because they might say it's COVID19 and worst things, they might quarantine my father.
Well, this fits perfectly the cough I've been battling since I was a kid. It wasn't much of a problem in southern California, but when I moved to Portland Oregon, after a bad cold, it got worse and didn't let up until months later. How do climate and regional variations of air quality affect SNC? I'd like to spend a couple months or so in California, or Boulder, or other places I've lived before, to see if the cough goes away or at least returns to "normal" levels. But this is not practical :(
We suggest calling nearby ENT groups to ask: "Does any of your doctors help people with sensory neuropathic cough?" Dr. Bastian does offer teleconversations via www.laryngopedia.com.
💜💚❤️ Thanx God I find this video I have this problem since when I was 29 now I'm 46.i always clearing my throat and every body in my office says you are sock and blah blah I will try this and I will. Let you know ☺️👍. OK
I would call the ENT dept of a nearby univ or medical center. Ask the triage nurse if he or she has heard of SNC. If so, ask for a physician interested in SNC. My guess is, for now, there are only two or three physicians truly interested and experienced with SNC in any metro area. Try to find one; else you risk rounds of tests and treatments for “usual suspect” diagnoses-to no avail. (Please consider this informational, not medical advice. Don’t act without input from your personal physician.)
I have a cough for almost 4months and until now, damn it!! Many of doctors i go. But still i have cough on my throat. I take many medicines, but still not working.

It works on tickless cough s... I only takes a sip.... My throat is wrecked I'm only after covid n iv a cold again since yesterday no end to it tanks for d advice 🇮🇪 ....
Thank you Dr. Bastian for the useful video! It is the first time that some one can describe so precisely my problem. I saw wonder if you can know that some of you patients with SNC has been in contact shortly before their first signs with a pet suffering of Canine Distemper? Regards Dr. A. Angelov VMZ.

@@marshastolle2569 @Marsha Stolle hii Am Balu from india... Am suffer cough last 3years... Talking with friends or relatives any persona suddenly come cough... This my problem... So Plz help me.. Please advice medicine....
I have had exactly the symptoms described since I was seven years old. I am now 42. I remember waking up one day with a cough, although I didn’t feel unwell, and it never went away. It worsens when I’m agitated, when I change position, and sometimes even when I’m amused. It annoys those around me, and my attempt to suppress it for their benefit (and I suppose my own) has led to the emergence of various ticks. I had measles and scarlet fever when young and wonder if it might be related to these in origin. I must admit, though, that I have often thought it might be pure neurosis. It is nice to see that at least one doctor has given this some attention.
Try smooth dairy or dark chocolates, York peppermint-patties and also Gabapentin & lysine-foods & honey & starches. They all help thicken mucuos, which helps prevent "tickle". Air-conditioning and forced-air heat & acidic/spicy/rough/chalky foods make it worse.
I'm 58. I've had a persistent throat clearing since I've been in my late 20's. I've always had sinus issues , post nasal drip or so I think. I've been to ents over and over they put the camera down and say looks normal. Migraines you name it. I've always said it feels like I'm drowning, my throat feels like it feels with fluid and I have to clear my throat often hundreds of times a day. Very annoying to me and those around me. Nobody believes me I've had people come up.to me In stores saying oh have you checked for asthma? I'm not short of breath, and clearing my throat so much makes me have a very sore throat. So frustrating. If this is the answer I will be grateful if somebody listens
Sorry to hear about your Mom. As suggested in other replies, go to www.laryngopedia.com and search the term "cough." Or find the article that comes up when you googlee "PeerJ Bastian" and take it to your personal physician. All the best...
Over a year of constant violent coughing, 6 specialist, multitude of scans scopes and X-rays and in 4 days your gabapentin dose recipe stopped the cough completely! You have no idea how bad it had gotten and how weak the body and mind got I am SO SO grateful for your video. It was so spot on. Thank you so much!
I’m very happy to hear of your good result, and would appreciate an update regarding duration of benefit. Assuming the Botox was injected into the muscles of the vocal folds, the weakness of voice is dose-dependent and will gradually subside over the next few weeks. (Please consider this informational, not medical advice. Don’t act without input from your personal physician.)
this is one answer as well as other medications I chose 50 mg of Tramadol...stopped coughing after 15 yrs of coughing up phlegm and no moree shocking feeling in the back of my throat!!..I have my life back
Wow you’re blessed. I cough 2-4 times every 20 seconds and it is a very hard cough that makes me get tears in my eyes and i get gagging reflex and have to vomit few times a day. I wish doctors would be more qualified as no one knows what I have. I feel like we’re living in 16th century.
Lost Cause i dont know what that is, im from germany. I have been to lung specialist, ENT specialist and have been treated with medicaments for asthma,allergy etc nothing worked. And yeah its bad and gets worse with time I feel really exhausted. I’ll try to tell my doctor about this video and nerve ending medicaments but i doubt he’ll listen as he always changes topic when i talk about my coughing
Takao Senpai I see, in America there are specialists for the nose throat and lungs, that’s what I was talking about. Well, i wish you the best and I hope that whatever you are suffering from gets found out and resolved. Best of luck to you :)
Thank you so much for this information. I have been suffering from this for at least 14 years. Mine are generally caused by saliva/beverages going down the wrong way. I had a terrifying attack this evening, which brought me to this video. I have figured out that keeping calm is important, but did not have a name for it and didn’t understand the mechanics. I generally take long, deep, and very constricted breaths in, just to get any air into my lungs. They seem to be getting more severe and with greater frequency. I will try the straw method for my attack (hopefully never). You mentioned that nerve damage may be a cause. I’m wondering what kind of nerve damage...
Same here. I was looking into it because I have elderly relative who coughs everyday throughout the day so I was curious and it seems that this explains what she has. She’s been doing it for 2 years now and she’s 70.
I suggest that there could be compromised vagus nerve involvement. I've had a meningioma that compressed my right vagus, including the laryngeal branch. For a couple of years I had paralysis of the right side of the larynx (with voice loss), and coughing as described in the video (coughing is ongoing). I've had a couple of laryngospasms - very frightening.
A virus or pneumonia can cause damage to the cellular nerve structure around the larynx...after 15 yrs of coughing after having pneumonia 5-6 times a day with lots of phlegm...I take 50 mg of Tramadol only in the morning and my coughing has STOPPED...I feel like I have my life back!!
So sorry...Here's an article that on page 4 has the treatment protocol. You could try taking it to your doctor. Here's that article. peerj.com/articles/816.pdf
Oh God. I've had the worst memories with this problem. I've had teachers kick me out of examination hall because i was coughing continuesly and the more I cough the more anxiety I get and the I cough even more. And the worst part was my parents wouldn't believe me cause they never saw me in that situation...:(
20+ years of coughing. No doctors have been able to help. Weather triggers it, esp high-energy storms. Eating. Laughing. Talking. Sometimes dryness, often with too much phlegm.
me searching a so-ution for cough in youtube.at 3am and its holiday here preparing 4 coming new years eve.. i drank warmwater and stop myedication it works thanks doc
I never heard of this and I’ve had it for couple years. Just last night I woke around 10 coughing so bad that my veins squeezed and was in serious pain and tired. I get this from cold air usually and no cough medicine except the pearl small round pill helps me.
I had some horrible flu or something about 12 years ago, was freaking me out, I ended up having to stop by the local hospital's ER which I was trying to avoid, they checked me out, MD just gave me "Tessalon Perles" which is that basic strong cough medicine they dole out there, and that seemed to knock out the cough part of it, which was a horrible wracking cough that was causing my sides and ribs pain. I was sore for like a week after this illness, which was otherwise not serious. Over the past 13 years I've also had a cough from acid reflux, which of course, can come and go which is very annoying. Taking Prilosec or Xantac will generally knock that out. I never smoked, but I was around second hand smoke for years ages ago, alas.
So sorry I can’t consult in this format. So do not take this as medical advice. Just “information” that might orient your thinking. First, your story is not unique (cough following spine or thyroid surgery). Second, the treatment is to use one of a list of neuralgia medications. I believe you will find more information in the part 2 video on this subject. Also look at the written information on www.laryngopedia.com under “sensory neuropathic cough.” And finally, be sure to put the word “mucus” into the search window. The article that comes up “When Mucus Seems to be....” may save you tremendous time “chasing mucus around.” So sorry you are struggling with what sounds like it may be SNC, and all the best in your search. Most can find tremendous (if often incomplete) relief from this problem by use of a neuralgia medication or capsaicin spray (also described on www.laryngopedia.com). RWB
Curious he mentions not much research or scientific papers have been written about this condition. Why is there not more information about this for physicians and patients?
An excellent question. For background: The diagnosis of SNC is based in match to a syndrome. I have been saying for years that it is a primary, prima fascie diagnosis. Unfortunately, there is no xray, blood test, or other "measurement" that validates the diagnosis. Many doctors dislike/dismiss this "observational" approach to diagnosis. They therefore don't know about SNC, or they dismiss it, or insist that it can only be considered as a diagnosis of exclusion. Doctors tend to order and re-order tests for the big 3: allergy, acid reflux, and asthma. Patients become exhausted, cynical, and jaded... Do keep in mind, however, that there is a growing literature on SNC, including my article on amitriptyline and an open source article that can be easily found by typing "PeerJ Bastian" into your browser. Laryngopedia also has a wealth of additional information on the trail to discovery, medical jadedness, capsaicin, etc. Just type "cough" into the search window of Laryngopedia.
@@Laryngopedia thank you for the reply. My understanding of Elavil used to be that of depression medication but now have found uses for neuralgia. I have also heard from Allergist and ENT physicians that this kind of cough is usually labeled idiopathic in nature or as mentioned as an exclusionary Dx when standard 3 tests return negative results. Could there perhaps be a Vargas nerve connection to this kind of cough? Seems the cranial X is rarely mentioned or studied. Thank you again. I will research you suggested journals.

Hope you feel better. I have been coughing too for the past 3 days...it's exhausting.
Try Vicks vaporub just under your nose and steam. It gives some relief.
Same I hate it so much
Ok so I found out some ways that stopped my cough
One is try clearing your throat from time to time another thing is drink water and the last one is exercise, I went to the pool swam and ran around and I’m now coughing a lot less often
When I have a tickley persistent cough. I chew on a piece of ginger. In a couple of minutes, it’s gone away.

What if my coughing sounds like Garcello?
He's right. I don't even want to move out of my comfortable spot because I feel like some nerves are going to get irritated and then I'll have some dry, miserable coughing spell.
I'm so sorry
Same i just want to move freely but i cannot.
My cough happens when I move too. How are you now?
I am just sobbing, just sobbing! I have been coughing like this for over 4 decades. It has impacted my life in so many ways. I have lost relationships, I can't see my friends very often all from this crazy thing. If it happens in front of children, their mothers worry that I shouldn't be around them. It's horrible. Nobody has been able to help me in ALL that time. Because nobody has understood it. I am going to send these two videos to my doctor. Let's hope she understands and helps me. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Finally, there is hope.
Finally someone that knows what's going on. This guy knows what he's talking about
So glad I'm not the only one may be now my husband will understand what I'm talking about.

Try smooth dairy or dark chocolates, York peppermint-patties and also Gabapentin & lysine-foods & honey & starches. They all help thicken mucuos, which helps prevent "tickle". Air-conditioning and forced-air heat & acidic/spicy/rough/chalky foods make it worse.

People always assume I’m sick and offering my water
Thank goodness I don't do it while sleeping but I'm still coughing after 16 yrs...ugh!

We both have the same symptom. Because of this cough. I cannot be facing anyone but stay in the house. I am so afraid of going out or going to work. My friend and families stay away from me. I told them that I am fine but no reason why this cough is keep going on and on. I have tried many ways but never had luck.
I would say I coughed about a 1000 times and probably dying
Slilppery Elm is helping me to expel the toxins in my lungs from the chemtrails. I'm going on 8 weeks of hacking. I sound like a smoker. I understand that the chemtrails include nano-size particles of fiberglass wrapped in aluminum that you can plainly see at 400x. I just ordered a microscope to check it out myself. I coughed into a paper cup, let the flem dry out, then looked at it with a magnifying glass and I saw a ton of tiny little things sparkling when I held it up to the sunlight. I can't wait to get my microscope. Then, I can monitor how much is there and try different things to remove it and watch and see if the amount goes down. If it's on my lungs, it's all over, including my brain and arteries. If it builds up over time in my arteries or brain, I could have a stroke. So, hope this helps anyone else out there who has this horrible cough that seems to never go away. There are things you can do to expel the toxins from the chem trails. I learned today the benefits of using activated charcoal powder to eliminate toxins in your body. Gonna start that tonight.

(Part 2 of 2) BUT, with care, good oversight, and starting at very low doses, it's surprising how many can in fact take a neuralgia medication quite successfully. Some drug interactions are only "yellow," not "red" alerts, and we often try a "yellow alert" medication in low doses. I’d hate to give up on more standard, proven treatments if-heaven forbid-Botox doesn't give adequate benefit. (Consider this informational, not medical advice.

What are your thoughts on esophageal spasms causing coughing and choking?
When im excited or anxious i cough a lot.
Likewise. I don't even have to be particularly excited or anxious either
Me too
Same problem from chhattisgarh, india
If you're anxious and you're about to do a thing with anxiousness you cough, it's insane, you feel like there's a wind in your stomach
I had this last year I ran to the hospital they said it was stress. Then this year came back and I noticed the samething when I get exited and anxious I get a bubble of air coming up and cough. So annoying :/ it scares me.
When I get this cough I start immediately blowing my nose even though I don't feel like I need to. What I get is small amounts of watery drainage and after a couple minutes of continual blowing of my nose the cough stops as suddenly as it began.
does anyone else have an "anxiety cough"?
Yes I do...
OMG ME RN 😭😭😭😭😭
Me to and it’s hard to breathe
Kinda, I guess..whenever I get nervous, my breathing gets very strained, and then I automatically cough because that's a way of "breathing" that I can control in that moment
I have struggled with chronic cough for many years. The cause appears to be "multi-factoral." I can say that one of the triggers is anxiety. Just hearing the voice of my boss would bring about a coughing fit. If I am experiencing negative emotions, it can get quite severe. I am guessing this is caused by stomach acid churning upwards during anxiety, splashing on my poor larynx, triggering the cough.
We just recently updated some links. Look in the "About" section under this video, and you'll find a link to Part II.
Do you have video consultations at your clinic?
Tickle happens alot. And coughing all the time. It feels I might throw up at the end. Also feels like very heavy mucus is in my throat all of a sudden. Specially when eating.
So just an update. I started to take famotidine for heartburn and I cant remember the last time I coughed..
I think the last episode I had was after choking on water going to my air pipes. For the rest of that day my throat had heavy mucus and I had to cough all day. And once when I drank something cold.. thats it. Such a relief.
@@aminahshentour8002 what to do
@@aminahshentour8002 I too believe that this can easily be solved by an antacid( even baking soda). When I take it I am relieved from larynx spasms, but never noted if the coughing diminished. Will try this tonight.
Question Is mucus in the esophagus just an excess of stomach acid ( simply put)?
Hi Dr. Bastian: My cough began June of 98. I have had it ever since. I have so many of the symptoms you described. This could be me. I have been treating with a Neurologist for about 3yrs, with Baclafin. It helped at first, but not now. I am affected by cold (air conditioning), strong smells, talking, stress. I get pain in my chest. Once the spasms begin it sets off a chain like reaction, and just gets worse, as does the pain. Please tell me what you recommend I do
Hi snyder your problem got solved ? I am also facing same problem. Can you please answer me ?

I encourage all to listen to your body and stop and think what you are breathing what you are drinking and eating. Look at the ingredients it could be damage by the synthetic chemicals. These chemicals cause nerve damage and causes you to have longer episodes of sickness than you normally have. If you learn how the lungs work to clear pathogens and environmental effects on their function it would be clear. I have eliminated milk and cream for a while and this often works. There are synthetic perfumes for example in cleaning products that accumulate and you can see in the bottle that it is harmful to nature. If it is toxic for fetuses children and fish it also irritates you and weakens you.
(Part 1 of 2) At our practice we do Botox injections into the larynx in approximately 20 patients each week, almost always for a condition called spasmodic dysphonia (SD). It is a great treatment for that disorder. By contrast, neuralgia medications seem to be the mainstay for SNC. Of the many hundreds we’ve treated for SNC, a significant percentage take other medications that seem to contraindicate these medications. If that is your circumstance, certainly no problem with a trial of Botox...
I live in north Louisiana and haven’t been able to find a doctor that does the Botox injections. When I was first diagnosed with LSN elavil worked great for me but now elavil doesn’t work.
Twenty five years with this cough. I been wrongfully diagnosed with acid reflux. Allergy diagnosis was wrong also. Mainly at night. Going from an upright position to lying down will trigger it also. Also, if I’m too hot that triggers a coughing spell too.
How are you going today?
I cough randomly throughout the day for no reason, especially when I laugh. Every single time i laugh I cough.
Me too, for years already. Im struggling so hard with that. Like i can't even laugh.
Even while doing sports and working out its so hard but noone understands
I suffered this coughing for years…. Gone to all kind of doctors… no one found anything wrong but no solutions either….
I developed this pattern about seven years ago after a severe cold all other symptoms disappeared except for the cough! It became almost a daily thing….My coughing occurs the moment me head hits the pillow
Or when I eat cookies or chips
Or when I sing
Or when I get nervous or angry, the worst part is I started wearing pads then later depends because I cough do hard it caused incontinence😢
Or when I drink juice
It is a hard violent cough which hurts my chest like tiny needles or leaves me teary eyed it starts with a scratchy spot in the throat, there thin mucous but it seldom passes out the mouth
This sudden cough last from 2 to 4 minutes then just as sudden it’s gone y😮
He might be on to something🤔
My doctor just diagnosed this after 2 years of coughing. I also have 1 paralyzed vocal chord. Last night for the first time I took 10 mg. of Amitriptyline and I didn’t cough at all! It was a miracle!

@@Laryngopedia Dr.Bastian, here's a key point. Gabapentin has similar properties as "flu-friendly" high-lysine such as eggs/dairy. ...Here's how: Gabapentin & lysine-foods & even honey/starches, thicken (thus tame) mucuos. In my case, the Gabapentin-thickened mucuous, upon being swallowed post-nasally, acts like waxy-balm. Note my brother and I both have SNC from having lived in forced-air heat houses & too much raw-onion foods & acids in childhood. But mine is worse from ongoing interaction with a difficult person. (She elicits shouting from everyone till their throats are raw.)

get checked for reflux
I am also in same situation.
My doctor have advised some medicines. It is working but only till i take medicines.
1. Gargling with warm black tea boiled water twice daily. (no salt added)
2. Telekast F (an anti-allergy medicine) - suspecting some kind of allergy is triggering it.
3. PAN 40 (gastric tablet to be taken early morning empty stomach) - suspecting acid reflux.

Dr. Sir... I experience those symptoms, but I always am coughing up phlegm. So - is my the "purposeful" type?
I cough up phlegm for 16 yrs. In my investigation I learned that the cellular structure which regulates the phlegm is damaged from a virus or pneumonia which I had 16 yrs ago. There is no solution but there are way to calm the cough. I take Tramadol but the regular prescrip is amitriptylene. I've had every test spent thousands over the yrs. Ricola Honey Lemon Echinecea or Dual Action is helpful in calming the cough. Also, Fisherman's Friend, Original Extra Strong, Menthol Cough Suppressant.
Thanks so much for this further follow up and so pleased with the benefit you are achieving!
this exactly what the cough that I have, this doctor has explained it very will, I have COPD & CHF
I’ve been getting only 3 second breaks between coughs
Not individual advice, but orienting information: SNC seems to be a neurological disorder, so treatment is via neuralgia medication. GERD-related inflammation may lower the threshold for sensory disturbance activation; so, treating GERD may help. Still, if the cough is neurogenic, it’s important not to focus on GERD, but on the neurogenic disorder GERD is simply “kicking up.”
(Please consider this informational, not medical advice. Don’t act without input from your personal physician.)
I found something helpful (at least to me). Placing a hot water bottle/hot pack compress at the back of my neck completely suppressed the ‘tickle’ and therefore cough immediately. Working longer term little by little too. Please make sure that you do not have it too hot obviously….
I will try this too. Thanks
Could it be from a damaged larynx,from being choked?
I just want to thank you for providing this information. This has been going on for me for just over two years and I thought I was losing my mind. Unfortunately, sudden, sharp coughing also triggers migraines for me, which I also have chronically. It's not a good combination.

Well, this fits perfectly the cough I've been battling since I was a kid. It wasn't much of a problem in southern California, but when I moved to Portland Oregon, after a bad cold, it got worse and didn't let up until months later. How do climate and regional variations of air quality affect SNC? I'd like to spend a couple months or so in California, or Boulder, or other places I've lived before, to see if the cough goes away or at least returns to "normal" levels. But this is not practical :(

Hmmmm, my mom has coughed fo 45 years , she is 75. What do we do? It is exactly what u are discribing
We suggest calling nearby ENT groups to ask: "Does any of your doctors help people with sensory neuropathic cough?" Dr. Bastian does offer teleconversations via www.laryngopedia.com.

I would call the ENT dept of a nearby univ or medical center. Ask the triage nurse if he or she has heard of SNC. If so, ask for a physician interested in SNC. My guess is, for now, there are only two or three physicians truly interested and experienced with SNC in any metro area. Try to find one; else you risk rounds of tests and treatments for “usual suspect” diagnoses-to no avail.
(Please consider this informational, not medical advice. Don’t act without input from your personal physician.)
I was treated by 12 different physicians in 15 years no one ever heard of this. You need an ENT that understands

I finally found out what my problem was it actually turned out to be a pulmonary embolism in my lung.
Yes exactly what he is saying happens to me
I have had exactly the symptoms described since I was seven years old. I am now 42. I remember waking up one day with a cough, although I didn’t feel unwell, and it never went away. It worsens when I’m agitated, when I change position, and sometimes even when I’m amused. It annoys those around me, and my attempt to suppress it for their benefit (and I suppose my own) has led to the emergence of various ticks. I had measles and scarlet fever when young and wonder if it might be related to these in origin. I must admit, though, that I have often thought it might be pure neurosis. It is nice to see that at least one doctor has given this some attention.
Try smooth dairy or dark chocolates, York peppermint-patties and also Gabapentin & lysine-foods & honey & starches. They all help thicken mucuos, which helps prevent "tickle". Air-conditioning and forced-air heat & acidic/spicy/rough/chalky foods make it worse.
@@minniyoutubaster I have tried all of these. Only thing has helped is gabapentin.
I'm 58. I've had a persistent throat clearing since I've been in my late 20's. I've always had sinus issues , post nasal drip or so I think. I've been to ents over and over they put the camera down and say looks normal. Migraines you name it. I've always said it feels like I'm drowning, my throat feels like it feels with fluid and I have to clear my throat often hundreds of times a day. Very annoying to me and those around me. Nobody believes me I've had people come up.to me In stores saying oh have you checked for asthma? I'm not short of breath, and clearing my throat so much makes me have a very sore throat. So frustrating. If this is the answer I will be grateful if somebody listens

Sorry to hear about your Mom. As suggested in other replies, go to www.laryngopedia.com and search the term "cough." Or find the article that comes up when you googlee "PeerJ Bastian" and take it to your personal physician. All the best...
Over a year of constant violent coughing, 6 specialist, multitude of scans scopes and X-rays and in 4 days your gabapentin dose recipe stopped the cough completely! You have no idea how bad it had gotten and how weak the body and mind got I am SO SO grateful for your video. It was so spot on. Thank you so much!
So glad it helped. All the best.
At which dosage are you taking Gabapentin?
@@akumar01 3 gabapentin daily
300mg each
@@DelLipiz Thanks for the info. Just cross checking again. So, the total dosage/day is 300*3 = 900 mg Gabapentin, right?
How did you get your doctor to prescribe the medicine? Did he/she know about the medicine?
Clean up the gut with clean warm foods
I’m very happy to hear of your good result, and would appreciate an update regarding duration of benefit. Assuming the Botox was injected into the muscles of the vocal folds, the weakness of voice is dose-dependent and will gradually subside over the next few weeks. (Please consider this informational, not medical advice. Don’t act without input from your personal physician.)
this is one answer as well as other medications I chose 50 mg of Tramadol...stopped coughing after 15 yrs of coughing up phlegm and no moree shocking feeling in the back of my throat!!..I have my life back
My wife is coughing non stop and doesn't want to get checked. Drives me crazy.
I cough like twice every 30 minutes. Just a random light cough. Probably all the smoking I do
Wow you’re blessed. I cough 2-4 times every 20 seconds and it is a very hard cough that makes me get tears in my eyes and i get gagging reflex and have to vomit few times a day. I wish doctors would be more qualified as no one knows what I have. I feel like we’re living in 16th century.
Takao Senpai god that sounds awful, have you been to a NTL specialist?
Lost Cause i dont know what that is, im from germany. I have been to lung specialist, ENT specialist and have been treated with medicaments for asthma,allergy etc nothing worked. And yeah its bad and gets worse with time I feel really exhausted. I’ll try to tell my doctor about this video and nerve ending medicaments but i doubt he’ll listen as he always changes topic when i talk about my coughing
Takao Senpai I see, in America there are specialists for the nose throat and lungs, that’s what I was talking about. Well, i wish you the best and I hope that whatever you are suffering from gets found out and resolved. Best of luck to you :)
Lost Cause Thank you, I wish you well too
Yes we do. Just did one to Vermont...Go to www.bastianvoice.com to find information, or email kyle.bell@bastianvoice.com.
Thank you so much for this information. I have been suffering from this for at least 14 years. Mine are generally caused by saliva/beverages going down the wrong way. I had a terrifying attack this evening, which brought me to this video. I have figured out that keeping calm is important, but did not have a name for it and didn’t understand the mechanics. I generally take long, deep, and very constricted breaths in, just to get any air into my lungs. They seem to be getting more severe and with greater frequency. I will try the straw method for my attack (hopefully never). You mentioned that nerve damage may be a cause. I’m wondering what kind of nerve damage...
how are you doing today? any improvement?
How are you feeling?
Please see high dose vit B1 on you tube to treat all kind of nerve damage and beyond
I've had this for about 7 years. Nobody could give me a diagnosis. It came out of the blue for no reason at all.
Same here. I was looking into it because I have elderly relative who coughs everyday throughout the day so I was curious and it seems that this explains what she has. She’s been doing it for 2 years now and she’s 70.
I suggest that there could be compromised vagus nerve involvement.
I've had a meningioma that compressed my right vagus, including the laryngeal branch. For a couple of years I had paralysis of the right side of the larynx (with voice loss), and coughing as described in the video (coughing is ongoing). I've had a couple of laryngospasms - very frightening.
A virus or pneumonia can cause damage to the cellular nerve structure around the larynx...after 15 yrs of coughing after having pneumonia 5-6 times a day with lots of phlegm...I take 50 mg of Tramadol only in the morning and my coughing has STOPPED...I feel like I have my life back!!
What have you done for this.
Everybody thinks I have COVID
So sorry...Here's an article that on page 4 has the treatment protocol. You could try taking it to your doctor. Here's that article. peerj.com/articles/816.pdf
Oh God. I've had the worst memories with this problem. I've had teachers kick me out of examination hall because i was coughing continuesly and the more I cough the more anxiety I get and the I cough even more. And the worst part was my parents wouldn't believe me cause they never saw me in that situation...:(
I feel you. Life got so weird because of that. Do you have instagram or discord ? We could talk about that 🥺 im 17
Everything is just the same like explained and my parents dont even worry cuz they don't know what it feels like.
20+ years of coughing. No doctors have been able to help. Weather triggers it, esp high-energy storms. Eating. Laughing. Talking. Sometimes dryness, often with too much phlegm.
Same..
me searching a so-ution for cough in youtube.at 3am and its holiday here preparing 4 coming new years eve.. i drank warmwater and stop myedication it works thanks doc
Is it ok if I keep on coughing like non stop
I never heard of this and I’ve had it for couple years. Just last night I woke around 10 coughing so bad that my veins squeezed and was in serious pain and tired.
I get this from cold air usually and no cough medicine except the pearl small round pill helps me.
I had some horrible flu or something about 12 years ago, was freaking me out, I ended up having to stop by the local
hospital's ER which I was trying to avoid, they checked me out, MD just gave me "Tessalon Perles" which is that basic
strong cough medicine they dole out there, and that seemed to knock out the cough part of it, which was a horrible
wracking cough that was causing my sides and ribs pain. I was sore for like a week after this illness, which was otherwise
not serious. Over the past 13 years I've also had a cough from acid reflux, which of course, can come and go which is
very annoying. Taking Prilosec or Xantac will generally knock that out. I never smoked, but I was around second hand
smoke for years ages ago, alas.
So sorry I can’t consult in this format. So do not take this as medical advice. Just “information” that might orient your thinking. First, your story is not unique (cough following spine or thyroid surgery). Second, the treatment is to use one of a list of neuralgia medications. I believe you will find more information in the part 2 video on this subject. Also look at the written information on www.laryngopedia.com under “sensory neuropathic cough.” And finally, be sure to put the word “mucus” into the search window. The article that comes up “When Mucus Seems to be....” may save you tremendous time “chasing mucus around.” So sorry you are struggling with what sounds like it may be SNC, and all the best in your search. Most can find tremendous (if often incomplete) relief from this problem by use of a neuralgia medication or capsaicin spray (also described on www.laryngopedia.com). RWB
As soon as the sun goes down
My throat start pinching
Edit: had this cough when covid was still in a lab.
About three years now
Do you ever need to cough while being nervous or moving ?
Curious he mentions not much research or scientific papers have been written about this condition. Why is there not more information about this for physicians and patients?
An excellent question. For background: The diagnosis of SNC is based in match to a syndrome. I have been saying for years that it is a primary, prima fascie diagnosis. Unfortunately, there is no xray, blood test, or other "measurement" that validates the diagnosis. Many doctors dislike/dismiss this "observational" approach to diagnosis. They therefore don't know about SNC, or they dismiss it, or insist that it can only be considered as a diagnosis of exclusion. Doctors tend to order and re-order tests for the big 3: allergy, acid reflux, and asthma. Patients become exhausted, cynical, and jaded... Do keep in mind, however, that there is a growing literature on SNC, including my article on amitriptyline and an open source article that can be easily found by typing "PeerJ Bastian" into your browser. Laryngopedia also has a wealth of additional information on the trail to discovery, medical jadedness, capsaicin, etc. Just type "cough" into the search window of Laryngopedia.
@@Laryngopedia thank you for the reply. My understanding of Elavil used to be that of depression medication but now have found uses for neuralgia.
I have also heard from Allergist and ENT physicians that this kind of cough is usually labeled idiopathic in nature or as mentioned as an exclusionary Dx when standard 3 tests return negative results. Could there perhaps be a Vargas nerve connection to this kind of cough? Seems the cranial X is rarely mentioned or studied. Thank you again. I will research you suggested journals.
@@Laryngopedia sir for this cough to happen what kind of irritation the person feels like itching salt scratches in throat or air ? 😭
