What Causes Gagging And Coughing?
throughout the day, the longer I am upright, sitting or standing, I tend to gag, mostly after eating, but most times with little food at all, I gag and have these loud coughs similar to dry heaving and lots of saliva comes out of my mouth, but when I get to put my feet up and recline, the symptoms go away.
