Hello Sjofna ,
Welcome to the board! i've been posting here for only 3 months but I've already found answers and solice in this Heartburn Help "Sanctuary". I've had GERD symptoms for about 5 years due to moderate inflammation in the esophagus. Along the way I was given tests that showed my "anxiety dial" was turned up a few notches too high. In this search for the root cause of my condition it turns out the depression plays into everything as well. Long story short the Celexa( for depression) and Xanax (for anxiety/panic) went together very well with Prilosec (for GERD) and I've been basically symptom free for 2 months now. All of my dosages are at the "entry level" mgs. I haven't felt this good in many years!
I'm not sure why you're coughing. I wonder if it's an anxiety symptom or an atypical GERD effect. Hope you find the "key"answer to your particular problem soon. Just remember, NEVER GIVE UP!
Take care,
geeDub
