Has Kapisex Caused Anyone To Have A Chronic Cough?

Updated

After yearly endoscopy & removal of several polyps, doc put on kapidex. Got an annoying cough that after 2 months of kapidex has now turned into a severe cough that so far I have found no relief for, even after 2 trips to MD. Since this all started at time of endoscopy & start of Kapidex, wondering if one or the other could be my problem?

Kapidex and cough is odd. I developed chronic cough December 2007. 3 trips to Rochester-May, several endoscopies (no polyps), full lung and speech pathology workups found cough was thought to caused by GERD. Was placed on omeprazole (80mg morning and 80mg nighttime) for 15 months. Gastritis erosion now gone cough remained. Doctor put me on Kapidex 30 days ago to attempt to change GERD and stop cough. No luck. Cough continues ... 10 - 12 times daily 20 - 30 seconds in lenght, frequently unable to catch breath. Sound familiar?

I am experiencing the same thing, in addition to shortness of breath. An endoscopy did not see any problems but the cough and shortness of breath continues, I have a heart cath coming up in as couple of weeks for the breathing. As of yesterday I have stopped taking kapidex and restarted the purple pill.
