What Causes Coughing While Bending The Neck?

Is it normal to have to cough when you bend your neck, such as looking down at the floor? I am 52, female, 5'2", 123#. I also get phlegm in my throat, especially after eating or talking a lot. I recently had a biopsy of a lump in my neck (just left of trachea) that they said could have been branchial cleft cyst or Warthin's tumor. Thank you.

Cyst in your trachea might be producing secretions which when your neck moves ascend up to the throat and cause cough. Thus it is not normal. You need to get it re examined to rule out if that cyst it irritating your trachea.
