Can Usage Of CPAP Machine Worsen Chronic Cough?

I ve had a chronic cough for 2 months that started the day after my endoscopy. I took an antibitotic the first 4 weeks, had 2 normal chest xrays, but 8 weeks after I m still coughing. I have a hiatal hernia and sleep apnea so I use a Cpap machine. I sometimes think the Cpap makes it worse.

Hello

According to the history you provide in my opinion the cough might be firstly by hiatal hernia and the obesity if you are overweight.
