Question

Coughing after meal

Asked for Male, 24 Years

Hello. I am 24 and I have been suffering from coughing after meal for approximately 8 years. After I eat, I always cough up mucus, and the more I eat, the more I cough. I do not have any respiratory diseases. I believe something is wrong with my stomach. I don't feel much discomfort because of it, but I wonder if it may be a serious disease. Could you tell me, please if this condition is serious and if there are any reasons to worry? Thank you in advance.
