    Hi Nina,

    Yes, just recently (late October) I have developed a mucusy cough in my throat.

    It is usually worse around when I should be ovulating or on my period... sometimes I wheeze when I breathe out, worse at night than in day.

    I definitely feel that squeezing around my ribs/diaphragm off and on too.

    I did get an inhaler... Dr. said it's possible hormone changes are making my bronchus and lungs more sensitive. Also allergy triggers have been very bad here this year, so he said could be both aggravating me.

    If I take a benadryl, I can usually get the cough to go away after about 20 minutes, until the next time.

    I also have more foods that give me heartburn than ever before... not sure if related. but mention it because sometimes when I think it's my diaphragm that feels funny, it turns out my gut is bloated and pushing up from below. Still trying to narrow down how to make that stop...

    Hope you can find some relief!
