I apoligoze for any gross details but I am desperate for any answers!

I am a 26yo female who has very thick mucus coating the back of the throught. I have had this problem for going on three years now. The only thing I have found that gives me relief is gargaling water throughout the day and using Q-Tips to get the really sticky stuff out.
Some symtops I have include:
-Thick mucus throughout the day though worse in morning.
-Fatigue.
-Feeling of lump in through.
-Feeling of throught closing.
-Heartburn at least once a week.
-Occasional chest pain around heart area.
-Constant coughing trying to clear the throught.
-Face/sinus pain.
-Constantly blowing nose though its to thick to do anything and when I finaly give up I feel, even hear, a suctioning of the mucus returning to
where it was originaly.
-I cough up brown and white peices wich I am almost positive is from
smoking wich I am desperatly tring to quit.
-I cough up light cream color jelly substances.
I have had sinus surgery and tubes put in my ears. The result of this is awful. My nasal passage is now worse due to the tissue growing together in the center of the passage way and now my ear pounds though there is no pain. The doctors insist there is no infection in the ear and say the tube is sitting rite. The thick mucus is the biggest problem for me. Its runing my life to points of not being able to do the things I love. I am about to give up hope. I have been on a lot of different nasal sprays and acid reflux pills. I'm going to go to another ENT my general doc has referd me to and ill see where that gets me. I have developed depression from the results of all my doctor appointments and am going nuts! If anyone has any info or thoughts to this please dont hesitate. Thank you!!!

YES YES YES!! I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND FEEL BETTER THAN IVE EVER FELT!!
Look up Hashimoto's Thyroiditus and Fibromyalgia -- you are NOT going to believe what you see. I am betting that you have other seemingly unrelated symptoms which will go away with treatment!!
Are you achy? Exhausted? Sore throats? Dry skin? WEight issues? Tired? Swollen glands? These are just a few of all the symptoms these 2 diseases cause.
DONT POO POO me bc you read "DISEASE"!!! One of 10 people has a thyroid disease and doesn't know it! I was one of them and am now cured and back to my old self

Have you found anything out yet? I am curious as I have the exact thing. I am going on one year of it now and nobody can figure it out. I have read things like this with people that smoke and don't smoke. I am open to anything, when I get off here I'm checking out your other response.
If you find anything.......please post.
Thanks
