I thought about a cervical spine problem - I had a MVA abt 30 years ago and had a C4,c5 and c6 bulge but nothing since then and I haven't injured it recently. I forgot to tell you that I have a trach due to life-threatening sleep apnea and this causes coughing and I also have chronic bronchitis which causes even deeper coughing. I just cant understand why the cervical spine problem would radiate to my throat and stomach....?? Thanks for your speedy response - I appreciate it......XXXX
