Very common with psp. A speech therapist can do a barium swallow test and recommend things to help to prevent aspiration, which is what this sounds like to me. It can be a big help for what is obviously an awful problem. Good luck!

Right again EC. I have to agree that a swallow study will give you a clear view of how well you are swallowing. If you are coughing up alot of phlegm, if it is green, you might have a sinus or throat infection. so onward to the gp where they can order up a swallow study and if youre sick fix you up that way as well.

Good luck

Right abirke as I said on ec's post. My first thought.

[abirke in reply to Auddonz]

Cheers for telling me that i will have to see my GP i think :0)

Agree with you ec, which was my first thought. My hubby doesn't cough while eating but when he goes to bed and lies down.. Hoping he is not getting. Last test he had was negative.

Good advice given by Easterncedar and AVB Doug. You may need a softer diet but the swallow xray will show if you do.

I agree with the others, it sounds as if you are experiencing swallow problems, food or liquid going down the wrong way. If you have a speech therapist, get them involved or do as your wife says, go to the doctor!!! You know she is right,I'm afraid we always are!!!!!!!

Lots of love

My husband coughs only when he is laying down and sounds like he has a lot of phlem in his upper respiratory area. He says it is not a cold and he doesn't feel sick. His neurologist said it is not caused by a a neurological condition and said I should call his primary care physician. Has anyone run into this?

Thanks ever so much to every one who replied to my question. I will definitely sort myself for a doctor as its mainly meals that cause it although a few times I've only had small things like a scott egg Or a Cornish Pasty so getting it checked definitely thanks again will keep you updated hope its nothing like psp - whatever psp is sorry not heard of psp B4....
