Name Time Method Main Objective: Studying newly diagnosed reflux associated chronic cough patients to identify those with associated hyperesponsive airways to methacholine challenge with porimary objective to determine the effects of 8 weeks anti-reflux therapy (full acid suppression) on bronchial hyper-responsiveness. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are to determine any change in cough and associated reflux symptoms through measurement of cough specific LPR score, spirometry cough challenge and cough severity scores.;Primary end point(s): Primary end point will be change in methacholine challenge PC20 from baseline to that post 8 weeks full acid suppression
