sneeze reflex cough reflex

It is especially bad in the morning, and when I cough or sneeze. DH laughs at me every time I cough or sneeze because I gag so much (it's nervous laughter, because he does NOT do vomit very well). I am 30w4d and thought I would not have to deal with this anymore after my 2nd trimester, but I didn't get that lucky. Good luck to you! I hope it goes away!!

Is anyone aware of a neuro/muscular disease with one of the signs being the loss/lack of the sneeze reflex?

I had the same worries cux i actually had the flu. But u shoukd be ok just remeber to keep hydrated and try to get some rest. The saline sprays might help reduce some of the sneezing! Hope you feel better!

I'd I sneeze or cough everything slows down and gets fuzzy and the pain starts to increase. I than feel this awful burning and pressure behind my eyes. Which I have on a daily bases but it intensifies and triples in the amount.

For the most part my sickness is gone, but every time i cough or even have drainage it triggers my reflex and I get sick... I hate it!! I wish this junk would go away!!

The cough lasted months but it DID GO AWAY. When you take opiates for a long time, it suppresses your cough reflex. When you stop, that reflex "wakes up" and dam.n. it takes its own sweet time going away. I really sympathize with what you're going through. Have faith it WILL get better.

I also notice this pattern sometimes when I cough or sneeze, but not always, thank you for the insight.

So for me drinking water helped to keep hydrated and helped to subside the cough reflex. When I laid to sleep in bed the cough went away for the most part. Also, I took Claritin which helped with skin rashes and slightly helped with the cough. The good news is when I stopped the Riba, the cough went away within a week.

I've always had a bad gag reflex. But lately its so much worse. I cough I gag. I gag when I brush my teeth. I gag swallowing my prenatal vitamins and a million other reasons.

Ever since I was a teen ( Now 38 ) , I have never been able to take a pill unless putting food in my mouth first. If I didn't , I would gag, cough it up or ( a couple of times ) come flying out my nose. LOL I have read in some forums or medical pages about ms and swallowing problems, but does this sound like it or am I just someone that cannot take a pill with out tricking myself that its just food.

have you been checked for acid reflex? My cousion have the same thing. Cough that would not go away and not cough meds helped. Doctors said it was really bad cronic Acid reflex. Could go to drug store and see try something over the counter like Nexium see if that works.

It sounds like it is a good possibility to me. Them are just two of the symptoms for it. I would try two things. The first one would be to take an over the counter medicine like Zantac for example before you go to bed. If you are taking any other medication please ask your doctor or pharmacist if there would be any reaction between the two. The second thing I would try would be to try and sleep propped up some. Kind of like sleeping in a recliner. Hope this helps.

when i sneeze i experience pain in my chest, shoulders which goes all the way to my palms. it lasts from a couple of seconds to minutes. sneezing is now a painfull experience. Its now about 6 months or so.

Just got back from my Primary Care Physician - He said I have an absent gag reflex...now that on top of imbalance, tingling sensations, burning in feet, occasional slurring of speech, weakness in legs of muscle, etc for over 11 years. I have a Chiari malformation of 5mm...So far no neurosurgeon says I need surgery (yes they are chiari specialists). I am seeking out one more opinion. Is an absent gag reflex mean that I need surgery or does that change anything? Ugh!!!!

The Vagus Reflex- This reflex may be evoked during insertion of the otoblock, cerumen removal, and rarely, with hearing aid use. This reflex is evidenced by cough, gag, and/or watering eyes during any of these activities. http://www.audiologyonline.

Haha, when you sneeze or cough and pee yourself a little! Oh my goodness. Totally happened a couple times.

When I sneeze, I start sneezing 12 time with 30 seconds intervals between each sneeze. Does anyone elase have this and is there a remedy?

Narcotics suppress the sneeze and cough reflex. That's why cough medicines all used to be made with codeine, even the OTC ones, until they figured out how addictive codeine is. It's so ridiculous that doctors prescribe Ultram with the wild abandon that they do based on the idea that it's not a narcotic and, therefore, not addicting, because it's all a bunch of hooey.

opiates suppress the cough and sneezing reflexes. so when you stop using the reflex returns with a vengence.!!!!! great job on the the withdrawal. stay strong. at day 5 are you feeling better physically? the sneezing could last a few weeks, they will get further and fewer in between. keep up the good work.

The emergency physician that we saw last night just happened to be a pulmonologist. The doctor told me that the cough that Chase has had for the past four months is not real and that it is all in his head… sort of like a tick. He explained that Chase was not doing this on purpose, but that “it’s not a real cough”!

I will sneeze every time, and if I need to egg the sneeze on, I will look right at the light until I sneeze. If I feel a sneeze coming on, I will either look at the sun or a bright light in a room. I rarely sneeze in a low light situation. My doctor thinks I am nuts, as does my opthamologist. However, my Mom did this (but not my Dad) and both of my daughters do it too. My Mom says that her Mom did it as well. It's very strong reflex and completely uncontrollable.

There is an area of the brain in the brainstem that plays a major role in the cough reflex. It is called the cough center. It has nerves that bring signals to it and nerves that carry signals out of it. The nerves coming into it bring a message that a cough should occur, for example choking on a piece of food, and the nerves exiting from the center carry signals to the muscles that work together to produce a cough.

Now I can’t sneeze at all and when I feel the urge to sneeze, I will think that “I’m gonna sneeze, I’m gonna sneeze” and then I couldn’t because I kept thinking about it. Now I have headache, ear and eye pain which I think might be due to lack of sneeze. I’m always constantly thinking of not being able to sneeze and I find it hard not to not think about it. If there’s anyone facing the same problem as me please get into contact with me. I want to talk to someone.

They say its allergies. take pills, still cough, could it be acid reflex and allergies? sick of it.

To measure cough reflex sensitivity, capsaicin cough challenge testing was performed 1 month prior to cessation of therapy, and 1 and 2 months after completion of treatment. In all patients, cough reflex sensitivity, as measured by C(5) , the concentration of capsaicin inducing 5 or more coughs, was significantly enhanced during treatment compared to 1 month after completion of therapy (P = 0·016).

The chronic cough due to a reflex sensitivity has been reported frequently and does appear to be caused by Riba. I also have the cough, but not too bad. "Previous studies have observed that cough occurs more commonly in patients receiving the combination of interferon and ribavirin compared to interferon alone, thus implicating ribavirin as the causal agent. Our data demonstrate that it does so by reversible enhancement of cough reflex sensitivity.

Also, prior to the cough was he ill? Sometimes a cough can linger for a long time after a respiratory infection. Have his vaccines lasped? Whooping Cough in adults is fairly mild compared to its devastating effect on infants and children but it can still give some people a lenghty and pretty nasty cough. It also could be caused by post nasal drip from an infection or from allergies. When he vomits, is it full of mucus?
