I'm so pleased I looked on this site for information about coughing when I drink and sometimes when I eat. I had an oesophagectomy December 2021 and developed a stricture in February and had dilatation. Unfortunately I suffered a perferation and subsequently suffered a collapsed lung.
My cough got worse after this and more recently have been hospitalised with a chronic lung infection.
Doctors have differing opinions, some (respiratory) saying I'm aspirating but consultant says it's due to oesophagectomy . I had another CT yesterday so hopefully it will show what's happening.
I'm experiencing many of the problems that other members are experiencing which has made me feel more at ease with my symptoms.
This is a great site for people like me who have struggled with their symptoms .
