Femara

Darn~!  I've got my phlegm in the morning again resulting in the 'cough' again!  grrr.... I used my neti pot this morning & always have my bed on a brick!   

It could also just be that Spring is on the way .... one of my mini orchids has a bunch of buds trying to turn into flowers - so it obviously thinks it is getting warmer ..... 

@Blondy   My 'preferred position' is sleeping on my right - but do swap to left now & then.

Both asthma, allergies and reflux can cause a cough in absense of infection. Also an enlarged thyroid.

Thanks everyone 

Another hint Arpie for reflux is to lie on the left side. Dr Google explains the intricacies of this but it is a medical fact. 

@arpie Maybe the drying effect of Letrozole has helped dry up the phlegm that's been irrititing you. One for the win column.

@kmakm
I had a chronic cough for years leading up to my diagnosis of BC ..... and it has almost gone now!  Just the odd cough in the morning (which I think is just gravity .... as you stand up out of bed, mucous in the back of your nose/throat trickles down the throat & you cough it up!)

I had a SHOCKING bout of colds/flu at the end of last year (about 4-5 in a row) leading up to & during my diagnosis .... ending up on antibiotics for most of them!

With us heading towards Spring now .... allergies can be a problem too - so cleaning your sinuses can help - flushing it out.  It also keeps your nose hairs 'moist' which is a good thing.

A Neti Pot is good for clearing sinuses - I use one (with filtered or distilled water.)  You can get little salt sachets (exact right quantity) and it just takes 1 minute to do both sides.  Dr Oz recommends using Baking Soda instead of salt!

As @Blondy  says - reflux can also cause coughing.  Putting a brick under both legs at the TOP of your bed to help reduce this, as the stomach acid can't go uphill - it aggravates the lining of your throat!  Once your throat has 'healed' - the cough shouldn't happen.  I've just left our bed on the bricks, anyway!

Reflux can cause coughing.

Yes @Teejay. I've been on Letrozole for three weeks now and have had an odd, intermittent cough. It was the first side effect I noticed. Have you had the mucosal dryness, thirst & eye irritation? I have. There's a lot of head dehydration! I'm hoping my body will adjust and it will pass.

Thank you

@Teejay is quite a bit about it online - I used searching term “coughing and Letrozole/Femara”.
