How Can Excessive Phlegm And Chronic Cough After Having Meals Be Managed In A Heart Patient?
My husband gets full of phlegm after almostevery heavy meals and violently coughs, gags, and spits up mucous within 10 minutes of eating . This happens almost after every meal and not just with one type of food. With all types of foods. He’s been placed on antibiotics nasal sprays etc but nothing helps. This has been going on for several years. He does have cardiovascular disease. Has had a bypass and is overweight by 30 pounds or so

Hi,
Your husband should go and get an upper GIT endoscopy to show us if there is possible inflammation in his stomach.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
