Hi I am going to Stafford hospital tomorrow afternoon for an endoscopy due to my coughing so much when I'm eating this is bringing lots of frightening memories back from 5yrs ago when I was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer I know I should be positive and I will be but I cant help being very nervous

Margie I wish you all the best for the endoscopy tomorrow - hopefully it will ease your mind and give you some answers. Hopefully it will just be something straightforward and can get sorted relatively easily.
I to have been coughing since my op which sometimes makes me retch, I'm hoping to discuss it at my next clinic appointment and get some answers.
Hi Know just how you feeling i had my op 8years ago and last year i was also coughing continually and when eating,had lots of various medication from my doctor,but in the end he sent me back to the hospital for a endoscopy and they said it was acid reflux making me cough,now on Lansoprazole , took awhile but did the trick,but i don't take it continually,my specialist said it is something that happens after our op to a lot of people Wish you luck with your appointment X
I hope all goes well for you tomorrow.
Good luck.thinking of you. Keep us informed
Wishing you good luck. Keep us informed xxx
There is quite a high proportion of unresolved coughing problems where people have reflux problems, so this might be the cause. Good luck!
Thank you Alan
Nearly four years on I still have a slight cough. My surgeon advises that this is fairly common. I wonder what causes it.
hi, l am 6 years post op and still have coughing fits when eating, my surgeon thought it could possibly be sensitive scar tissue around the join
