The EENT came back clear! I was referred to a respirologist which has determined that I have GERD. He put me on pantoloc and all is well. It's a really big cause of chronic cough that is usually unexplained because it can be the only symptom sometimes.
Thanks Again,
Sammie
Thank you for all of your help! I had actually been feeling spasms in my throat that I thought were palpitations but it ended up not being my heart. We tested my thyroid and it was all ok. Laryngospasms make soo much sense now that I think of it! I have an appointment with an EENT in july so I will mention it!

Definitely see a doctor, preferably an allergist. I have severe asthma that is episodic. During bad times, I experience what you describe. I wouldn't just treat the cough. Instead, find out the cause. I, too, have had funky results of breath tests (atypical) but I do have asthma and medications to prevent and treat the symptoms do help. My doctor never prescribes an expectorant for the cough.
Is your cough acompanied by expectoration? If its a dry cough, try syrup Pholcodiene 1 teaspoonful thrice daily for a week.
Hi, two of my daughters have asthma. One had something called laryngospasms with her asthma. I'm a mom, not a medical professional, but this came to mind reading your post that maybe an ENT can rule out for you? Sometimes the liquid from even your own saliva can get misdirected and in an effort to protect the airways spasms are created involuntarily and it feels/seems like a sudden really bad asthma attack. It can linger, if liquid is aspirated, etc.
Just something to ask your doctor to see if it could be related to this?
Good luck and keep us posted!
