I have been coughing multiple times a day because something feels like it’s been caught in my throat. I don’t know if it’s my age or if it’s my CLL or whatever.

I John 806 Not sure when you put this question on here because my yahoo account was compromised and it took me over 2 months to get it back. Anyway I had a similar problem prior to my diagnosis of CLL with coughing. People would walk away from in when i was working thinking I had TB or some illness. Turned out I was allergic to my Blood Pressure pills lisinopril. When I told the doctor about this he said he had also been allergic to thaT DRUG and immediately changed the script. you might want to check your other drugs if not using that one and see all of the side effects. Mine was an easy fix and something Inever thought about until a friend of mine heard about it. I have a lot of allergies but never thought of that one. Good luck John

I have seen cases where you get a little irritated nerve that can cause constant coughing slight or more extreme, patient was perscribed a couple weeks of gabapentin, and it cleated up. I am no doctor, this person went to several specialists, but the cough was becomming chronic.

I agree with Nancy. I too had coughing issues with Lisinopril and was switched to Losartan. So check out side effects from any meds you are taking.
