How do you know if a cough is from slippage or regular cough? I over indulged last night at a party, I thought I would be able to control myself, but, did not. I had the acid reflux think afterwards, woke up this morning and know am coughing (wet cough), but, here is the catch I felt cold symptoms earlier in the week and went away. No puking or anything, do feel a little tight in my chest. Happy New Year!!

I had issues with reflux for over a year and for me I would cough the next morning after suffering with reflux during the night. Unfortunately, the fluid that comes up and makes you cough during the night can irritate your throat and lungs so you end up coughing. If it keeps up go see your doc. Believe me when I say...don't take reflux lightly. I did the whole fill/unfill thing to take care of it but, then demanded tests with the last fill and the reflux came back and found out my band slipped bad enough that it had to be replaced. I just had revision surgery on Dec 18th. not fun to go through again.

Good luck and definitely seek your doc if the reflux continues. In the meantime because you say you over indulged yesterday, stick with liquids for a day or two and see if the reflux goes away.
