COUGH

[cshamb]

I HAVE DONE WELL FOR 9 YEARS BUT FOR THE PAST YEAR HAVE DEVELOPED APROBLEM WITH COUGHING UP MUCUS . I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE ALLERGIES BUT IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE WHEN MEDS START TO WEAR OFF. I TAKE 4 C/L PER DAY PLUS ZANDOPA 7.5 GRAMS 2X DAILY. MY DIET IS NOT GREAT BUT ID GO TO RSBOXING AND WALK, ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THANKS

Zandopa? Maybe you are allergic to something that they add.

Did you ask your doctor to give you an opinion?

THANKS FOR REPLYING. ZANDOPA IS MUCUNA. MY DOCTOR IS A BIT VAGUE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE ALLERGIES. I NEED TO TALK FURTHER WITH THE NEURO DOCTOR.

We tend to blame everything on Parkinson's, for good reason. However not everything is a Parkinson's problem. Also, not every pulmonary infection acts like a chest cold. It is possible it could be a bacterial or fungal colonization.

Hi

Yes I do. I have had this problem for past few years. My PD nurse advise me to take pineapple juice.not to drink it but take sips.and it has helped. Now I get mucous especially at night but now and again.i also found that not to consume dairy and sweet things before at least 2-3 before bed time. And also to avoid spicy and salty foods.

If you are like me then no chocolate or crisps.

I hope you find this helpful

Thank you for your reply. I will try your suggestions. I thought it might be wearing off of meds. or allergies.

Hi, It's musles again. Mucus gets stuck on your epiglottis. Try to see yourself getting under it., I always have Sugar free Ricola Cough drops.

You can get a devise called EMST150 Expiratory muscle strength trainer. emst150.com

and also something called "neckline thinner" it's meant to jaw and chin.

If you are near NY City, Columbia Teacher's college has a project for this condition.

Good luck

Thanks for the info. I live in Florida but I am contacting my neuro at USF for details of the EMST150. Maybe insurance would cover the cost if I do need it. Thanks again for your help
