974371 tn?1424653129 I have never had any real/noticeable mucus. But I have never tried to hack anything up from my throat, seems my throat is clear, save the fact I suffer from mild obstructive sleep apnea. Maybe your problem is too much good weather in California.
Avatar f tn I've had this problem for over 15 years my problem started after having panic attacks??? if that's what it was since then I have had trouble with continuous mucus in my throat, been to ent specialist when it first started I don't know how many times. I kinda gave up because I was getting tired of being treated like It was all in my mind and that I was nuts haven't felt100% maybe 60% well since. couldn't afford to keep trying different doctors .
Avatar n tn A week later I got a sinus infection and went on antibiotics got rid of the sinus infection and now I still have this awful feeling of mucus staying in the back of my throat that I cannot bring up. I went to an ENT and he gave me a steroid spray and a prescription antacid for my acid reflux. I've been on it for about a week and I still have no relief of this mucus. I don't know if the mucus is from the drip because I have a clear nose but I feel the drip.
Avatar f tn I have had difficulty swallowing for about 7 months now, along with thick, stringy, gelatinous clear mucus in my throat and thick green-brown mucus in my sinuses and throat. My nose is very dry and has dry congestion that is hard to remove by blowing.
974371 tn?1424653129 Globus hystericus is a subjective sensation where people feel a lump in the throat. At times, it is associated with difficulties swallowing. They are probably related to psychological problems. The most common cause is gastro esophageal reflux disease - GERD. Diagnosis is by fibroptic laryngoscopy. Fiberoptic laryngoscopy also helps confirm the GERD diagnosis. The other possibility which should be ruled out is post nasal discharge.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I see you have been having problems with your tonsils. An ENT is the doctor to see about your throat problems. You may need a CPAP machine to aid your breathing at night. You might get some help by stopping dairy products because dairy products cause a lot of mucus production.
Avatar f tn for the past 3 yrs i have had very awful throat problems. it becomes too dry sometimes, i have lost 28 pounds because of the trouble i have eating. i have trouble eating certain foods,(greasy, spicy,) and certain foods give me an itchy throat, such as oatmeal, and bannanas. and mushy foods such as beans and mashed potatoes feel like they get stuck in my throat. i almost always wake up with a sore throat and a bitter taste in the back of my mouth.
Avatar m tn Getting the deviated septum fixed may help with the phelgm. The infected phelgm and mucus could be draining down your throat and causing the chronic bronchitis because the body is unable to fully clear the infection since there is constant mucus drainage. The lungs then are reacting to the high level of inflammatory and immune system cells present and thus causing the constriction and asthma symptoms.
Avatar f tn Silent reflux is an acid reflux you don’t feel but it creates a buildup of mucus in your throat by keeping it from draining down your esophagus. I might try talking with a GI doctor. Or maybe try an OTC acid reflux medicine like Omeprazole.

Avatar n tn I wake up in the morning and find I can barely swallow a pill. My throat is thick with mucus. I need to gargle for several minutes and use a mouthwash , in addition to brushing my tongue with a toothbrush. eventually I have a coffee and my throat feels better. Has anyone else experienced this and how to get rid of the problem.
974371 tn?1424653129 This ENT did not do a scope but did look down my throat. I now have a constant feeling of a mucus plug in my throat which I cannot expectorate, therefore (and I know I am not supposed to do this) am trying to cough and/or clear my throat often. Nothing I do or use helps. I am very limited as to what I can use due to the chronic dry mouth and throat issues.
Avatar n tn 40 year old guy, before xmas went to toilet and there was a gushing of blood from anus, followed later by some mucus. Since then theer has been a few times where blood found in stools. Also had back ache down one side into leg. Now burping a lot and alomost feel slight sore throat and food coming back on me as if there is some sort of blockage round about stomach.
Avatar m tn There is always a lot of mucus in the back of my throat and I almost feel the need to get rid of it with my tongue. Is it normal to always have loads of mucus back there? Or is it possibly caused by sinus problems or allergies or some other post nasal drip? And is it possible that mucus is the cause of my sore throat? I'm finding it very difficult to break this habit, but I guess that if i knew that it would stop my throat from feeling sore I would have a real reason to stop.
Avatar n tn I have the same exact problem with a lump in my throat and excessive mucus in my throat for 6 months also. I have been to doctor after doctor and had every test done. Today I went to a 3rd ENT, and he put a camera in my nose down into my throat and actually saw the abundance of mucus along with swelling. All the other doctors told me it was GERD and it was just a sensation. I knew I wasn't nuts.
Avatar n tn t know which posts you are reading but there are some about thick mucus in throat on my page that you can check out. Maybe you would find helpful. I can say this though......doctors do not know what it is when it's mucus or phlegm in throat. They have no clue what to do. I have had it now for nearly a year and a half. I thought this was a long time, but I have found others that have had it even longer. Maybe that's why nobody has posted again, they just gave up. I have in a lot of ways.
Avatar n tn At the moment I am experiencing tight throat mucus in throat constant burping fullness in throat and chest feeling of not been able to breathe weird feeling in throat feel like I have to take deep breathes dizziness and lack of energy and feels like I have a slow pulse
Avatar n tn I felt as though my whole tongue was burning and it looked unusually white. And then my throat started hurting and feels clogged with mucus. I went to the ER but the doctor couldn't figure it out and didn't think it was oral thrush even though I could scrape the white stuff off. He gave me a benydrill and told me to stop taking clindamycin and took me off antibiotics then sent me on my way.
Avatar m tn I had a myocardio infarction (silent heart attack), adult onset of asthma, ptsd, and more and chronic nasal mucous problems that hurt and cause anxiety along with back problems falls etc. I don't have an answer for you but just wanted to let you know you are not alone. I had a deviated septum and 3 surgeries to fix but still have problems and wonder if if the surgeries that cause this but the doctors don't know a thing. It is frustrating. I wish you the best.
Avatar m tn Yesterday I was being very persistent on trying to cough up mucus and all of a sudden I coughed up something that had a little more substance than mucus. It was almost completely blood with a little bit of mucus and it felt spongy as if there was some sort of material to it. I probably should have examined it further but for the sake of my girlfriend's grossed out factor I let it go down the sink.
