I have noticed over the past couple of days I have developed a dry cough. No allergies, no cold, doesn't exist when I go to bed only really starts when I try to talk. I am even able to do those breathing exercises without coughing. Do you think this can be another side effect of that anesthesia? It was totally worth it - I wouldn't have done the surgery without it, just curious if it is how long it will last?

Hmmmmm... I had that when I would lay down at night to go to sleep ... not during the day ... hmmm... I'd email Gaby and ask her. It could be related to the anesthesia - God knows it certainly caused things with my body to go totally wacky:scared0:

Thanks Vegas, I sent her an email and will let you know what she says....just in case someone else comes up with this irritating cough.

Are you taking your nexium? A cough can be a sign of reflux at night, and if you are not on nexium you might want to ask your doctor about that.

Or it could be post nasal drip from allergies at night. Or asthma...do you have a history of asthma?
