I have read that some of you on the forum have the hernia and reflux problem and are taking medication for it. Well just to let you know that my husband had the hernia op yesterday.
But that's not my discussion here. It is to do with my daughter. About March or April this year she started with this cough that scared the living daylights out of us. It seemed to us that she was having this asthma attack, she is chronic asthmatic. Anyway we were rushing her off to the hospital every time this coughing fit happened.
The first time it happened we rushed off to the hospital 1 o'clock in the morning. The casual department treated her and she was discharged without being admitted. 6 o'clock the very next morning the same thing happened and off we rushed back to the hospital. This happened a few times within a few hours and we were rushing red lights off to hospital. Eventually we made an emergency appointment with the Pulmonologist and he thought that she may be experiencing anaphalatic attacks and that we were to take her to the casualty immediately.
This has been happening over the months and we have eventually learned to deal with these attacks as she has them. She has been having them every single day now and all day. The GP then diagnosed her with reflux and possibly a hernia. So we made the appointment with the gastrologist and she had her scope done, only for the doctor to inform us that she doesn't have a hernia and she doesn't have reflux. But the episodes continued. We were at a loss.
So i decided to google this Laryngospasm cough and all I could find was the Hiatal Hernia that this cough was linked to, which she didn't have. Eventually I found another type of reflux and was almost shocked right off my chair.
Another type of gastric reflux problem, which is rare, is where the acid comes up into the larynx and because it's not common doctors don't really look for this type of reflux. It presents in the same way as the hiatal hernia but can only be detected by doing the scope down the larynx. So had I not sat for hours looking for some sort of explanation as to why my daughter was presenting with the same symptoms as my husband, I don't think I would have found this.
