A member asked:
Why would i cough after eating even though i've had the nissen procedure and off all my meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough after food: Hello, this procedure is performed at the junction of the lower esophagus and the stomach in hopes that reflux of food and liquid back into the esophagus is eliminated. The surgical field is right adjacent to the diaphragm. With swallowing, the diaphragm is stimulated which can trigger a cough. This should resolve soon after healing is complete. If it persists, follow up with your surgeon.
