Cough & Diaphragmatic Endometriosis

Hey girls!

I have had a cough since before I can remember. Can I possibly add this to a list of diaphragmatic endo symptoms?

I know a cough can be anything, I’ve also been tested for asthma three times and it’s always negative.

Anyway, she’d some light?

Love to u all x

Know this sounds a bit completely off topic but do you suffer with reflux? Sore throat in the morning, indigestion? You could very well be suffering with endo on the diaphragm but the fact you have mentioned you have a cough sounds very similar to my own symptoms. I had terrible neck pain down one side, shoulder and arm pain. After many hospital appointments and going armed with knowledge I was diagnosed with hiatus hernia and silent reflux. I had terrible cough for at least six months and this was due to me breathing in microscopic reflux during the night causing it to irritate my lungs. I had to have a special impedance test that picked up all types of reflux not just standard acid which I had to fight for. I’ve had key hole surgery and the arm shoulder pain and cough have gone after months of suffering. The pain in my diaphragm was referred pain from the hernia. Like I say it may not be relevant at all to you but just thought I would mention as it took me months to get to the bottom of it! I do suffer with endometriosis and I suspect adenomyosis.... the joys! Hope you get some answers soon.
