Hi Nikki, I have epilepsy which is from my respiratory system, I have investigated this and found this. The exact location and functionality of the cough centre is in the medulla coordinates the cough reflex, this may overlaps with the respiratory rhythm generator networks. It is not so much a specific area, but a function within the respiration and reflex networks of the brainstem. Then the matter of mechanoreceptors responsive to distension of various organs and muscles, and are neurologically linked to the medulla in the brain stem via afferent nerve fibres. These include stretch receptors in the the lungs. This could be the origins of your problem, this should be disgusted at your next neuro appointment, however I doubt there will be an easy resolution as this stems from the (white matter) brain stem.
I Beppy. I have had hiccups as a symptom from TBIs, but no coughing that I can remember. Hope your cough goes away soon.
I cough a lot. I had a stroke and brain bleeding and swelling from a rollover car accident. When I drink and eat I choke often. No obstruction. Some of my coughing fits are prolonged. I assume it is because of the stroke or tbi. Take care.
Hi, hope your coughing has stopped by now. I had this and so annoying I went and saw a specialist and he put camera down my throat, I had a inflamed voice box and all the coughing was caused by this and acid reflux had no idea I had this. Meds’ and tips given to me by a speech specialist on exercises I need to do on my throat things are a lot better. Hope this may help Pam xx
Yes, All the time. Never smoked. They've looked, can't find anything.
