Wow! after reading this post I feel better about what's happening with me..I started waking up strangling on thick clear mucus about two years ago...the mucus is so thick I can hardly catch my breath, and to make matters worst I often end up nearly vomitting from choking and gagging...this is kind of scarey, I can barely catch my breath when the overwhelming sensation comes over me again. The only thing that lends any kind of help is gargling with hot water or mouth wash which seem to cut mucus, also drinking something hot has helped. The whole ordeal usually last around a half hour before I'm able have any kind of relief. I often clear my throat of mucus during the day , I was told it is allergies , but like evreyone else, have not found any continued relief....
it could be food allergies. i have them and they are delayed and weird. i was tested for some foods. after i eliminated beef, chicken, dairy, yeast, wheat, potatoes, and onions for a month, i got better. then i added back in the purest form of each food every 4 days. it's been a few months and i've been rotating thru the foods. I've found out that each one causes different symptoms. I was really shocked when i figured out that onions causes me the most problems. My left ear will start ringing, my jaw stiffens up and feels out of place, and my left eye feels really weird. Why i got these just last year is what i'm trying to figure out now. my allergist says the thyroid is involved, as my body temp averages around 96 degrees. hand in there. if you get the foods out of you, you may feel a lot better.
I hope I am not jumping the gun. But I have been having this for About a few years now. I am the kind of Person who almost never takes medicine. I never had this and I know I got this for the first time when I bought this stuff from walgreens called mucenix or something like that. I hope it's not that but if everyone else with these simptoms has taken that then it might have something to do with it. I went to the doctor and was told it was acid reflux and I also was told it was a sinus problem, I had surgery and still have the problem. It's obvious something that the medical community hasn't realized is happening and I sure hope it's not something that becomes serious in the future.
I am writing to share with you people the exact same frustration I go through everyday. I am a 28 year old male. I am not over weight, I don't smoke and I have been suffering from this problem since I was about 18. It has gotten alot worse over the years. Every meal I eat I get contant mucus. I am constantly clearing my throat all the time. Sometimes I can hardly breath and I need to clear my throat. I have seen Doctors about it since I was 20. I have had about 8 gastroscapies (camera down my throat) (camera through my nose). The originally could see a bit of redness around my Esophagus. I also have a hyantis hernia which they think isn't a big deal. They perscribed Pariot to treat it but it isn't helping me anymore. I am telling you this is ruining my life. If I eat lunch, I can bearly talk to people for the next 30 minutes. In the mornings I spend the first hour hocking up mucus. Please someone HELP ME!!!!

If this is what I had for two years... it is CANDIDA. I tried everything. Every prescription, every nasal spray, everything I could get my hands on. I had horrible thick mucus from my nose and throat. Earaches all day every day from the mucus. It was maddening.
This is not an ad. I tried just about everything I could get from the health food store. Every anti=fungal, every home remedy, etc. I found this online when looking for something new. Candida Control Kit with Flora Balance powder. Basically it is a bacteria that eats yeast. It took more than a month to start seeing change, but the mucus is 95% gone. You also have to cut out all sugar and carbs from your diet to help kill the yeast. That is horribly hard. If you stray from the diet, it rears it's head again. From everything I have read, it can take 3-6 months to kill this. I had horrible stomach/GI problems 2 years ago, and it opened the door for this to take over my system. I also used a sinus rinse called Alkolol. It helped.
Hope this helps. I am posting this in the hope that it helps anyone else that has had this horrible problem. If you have this horrible mucus problem, especially after eating, I would look into this.

I just started having the problem about 2 months ago, white/yellow, really sticky film on the my throat in the back, having the constant feeling that there is something stuck in my throat. I would snort and cough and clear my throat but nothing could clear this stuff. Finally I stuck my fingers back there and scraped the stuff off, I did this for maybe a week and it seemed to help. I wish I knew what was causing it and if there was something I could do about it.
The netti pot does NOT work. I am still waking up feeling like I have a ball in the back of my throat and spend half my day clearing my throat only to remove a slight amount of white thick mucus. I don't have a clue what it is. Some days I am fine and others I feel like I am going to die. Tylenol cold helps a little to loosen the secretions but other than that, I don't have a clue. I have tried sinus meds, inhalers, flonase, spiriva, had a lung function test and they say I have emphysema and all my allergy test were negative. It is freakin nuts. I just want to feel better. The ENT and pulmonary doctor doesn't know what it is. The just say to stop clearing my throat but if I don't I about choke. Oh and it gets worse after I eat. It isn't not GERD. What could it be?

I'm 21m, I've had this same problem for a month now... It started when I traveled to a dryer climate and got a 'fever blister' on my lip (don't know if the two are linked at all, but the dryness chapped my lips sooo???). It continued with my lymph nodes getting swollen and sore, and finally culminated with thick mucous, sometimes with blood in it, but very thick/chunky. It makes my throat sore and it hurts to talk/eat. I find myself aggressively discharging as well out of frustration (either blowing my nose or hacking it up with extreme force). I was a smoker for the last 3 years but cut down right before this started?? which is very weird, no?? My other symptoms to a lesser extent are headaches, bodyaches, sore eyes, and general stiffness.
We need to find a common problem here... which is why I believe it could be Candida, since it involves yeast.
Some other notables:
- I do have metal cavity fillings
- Diet is not balanced (I eat only 2 times a day, which ends up being somewhat healthy but I do eat a fair bit of chocolate, onions, dairy, carbs, sugars --- have never had a problem with these foods in the past.)
- Not overly active but in decent shape
- No allergies (to my knowledge, and I haven't introduced anything to my diet that I haven't eaten in the past)
- I do not drink enough water (maybe 1 glass a day?) but have never had problems with this before.
- My tonsils are still in, wisdom teeth, appendix, pancreas, thyroid, etc.
- Have always had breathing problems, but mostly due to a nose thats been broken 3 times, and not a respiratory illness. This also means that I breath through my mouth predominantly when I sleep.
I don't want this to last for years! We need to find a common link!

I'm about to turn 28 and have been suffering from this since age 16. It has totally ruined my life, and I can't see a future if this goes on. What everyone has said basically. It's a million times worse in the morning, after being up for about an hour, and during/after eating meals. Biggest problem for me is how it affects my voice. I'm sure that you can relate to the mucous-choked throat, where nothing comes out... or when it gets really hoarse/high and you can't phonate properly, while people look at you with a confused face. I struggle at work, and can't get anywhere socially. I've learned to use all the wrong throat muscles as a result.
Anyway, this new year is my last desperate attempt to find relief before.... God knows what.
The plan is complete lifestyle change through Naturopathic guidance. I've seen a couple before, but gave up after a few months. I'm just going to cut out every single processed, refined, sugary etc food on the planet.. early nights/early rises, get as fit as possible, try and cut stress (which is impossible trying to work with this condition, but I'll try). The Naturopath I am going back to originally performed a Bradford blood test on me and discovered that I had very LOW stomach acid (not HIGH like is commonly thought). There were also a lot of deficiencies and parasites in the bowel/blood as a result... zinc being one of the worst. We'll re-assess, and I'll look at dedicating a good 12 months to 100% healthy, perfect lifestyle as it seems to be the only shot. I'll probably try some Speech Therapy too to correct my muscle use.
I think that the worst part of it all is having no understanding from family. I'm simply seen as a drop-out/loser with no motivation, no matter how much I try and explain the impact of this condition to my folks. Ah well, hang in there friends.

WOW! I decided to check the net cos i`m getting no luck anywhere, but I`m getting EXACTLY this problem! It started in 10 months after moving to a new flat in 2007 (so around jan 2008). It`s been going on now nearly 2 years. I cannot figure it out. I suspect the Apartment because it`s been years since i`ve lived on the ground floor, but my daughter seems to suffer no effect (could be cos she`s young?). I thought it was milk- no. Heating -No. the carpet? no.
One thing that is different about this place is it has underfloor heating and a sort of air-conditioning system that controls the heating too. Could this be it?
Yet no one else seems to have this problem. the Landolrd looks at me funny when i mention it.
It`s worse at night, but better in the day which often makes me want to sleep in the day! I have to spit at night or tilt my head stupidly and sleep and in the morning the clear mucus has built up.
The Dr hasn`t a clue and the lady specialist he sent me too said, "Well it`s not really a serious problem`, but i is actually driving me a bit mental! Every day, constantly. How does the Human Body keep making this stuff for no reason? and it really affects sleep. i`mm here now at 5am because of it and typing! The mucusing isn`t so bad when I sit up.
I really yearn for the days before i came here when this problem didn`t exist 2 years ago. I am 42, for 40 years this never happened, so what the hell`s wrong with me?
I`m convinced it must be the Apartment. My last choice is to move.
I`m sorry to see that so many have the same problem, although at least i`m not alone. I just wish there was a cure to this.

I burn all day long and this stuff makes me feeel really heavy all over. the bottom of my feet feel cushy . it runs through my legs, thighs etc. what is this? i had it for about 5 years. i've seen every doctor including. DUKE, JOHN HOPKINS. UNC CHAPEL HILL, ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE.
My name is Mr. Tyrone I have had this 3 year sickness going inside my system and body. I am stiff and hard as a rock and I burn all day long. When I wake up every morning from sleep I have whelps all over my body from the position where I had slept on ( imprints from the sheets). I NEED HELP PRETTY SOON . I AM 50 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN SEEN BY MANY DOCTORS THAT COULD NOT HELP ME. PLEASE RESPOND BACK. MY CELL = 910-330-3796.
Wk- 910-451-7290. THERE IS SOME TYPE OF CHEMICAL OR SOLUTION INSIDE OF MY BODY IS MAKING ME STIFF AND HARD When I set down. MY WHOLE BODY FEELS TIGHT WHEN I SIT ESPECIALLY MY NECK, BACK, CHEST AND ABDOMINAL AREA.
I'M IN PAIN FROM STINGING 24 HOURS A DAY. I CAN'T GET ANY REST IT FEELS A THOUGH I HAVE A STRANGE CHEMICAL REACTION GOING ON INSIDE OF MY BODY. I HAVE TAKEN THE . EEG TEST, EMG TEST FOR NERVE S AND MUSCLES, MRI OF T-SPINE, BRAIN AND STOMACH, ULTRASOUND, SMALL BOWEL FOLLOW THROUGH, 2 CAT-SCANS, 2 ENDOSCOPY, 1 COLONOSCOPY, BUNCH OF BLOOD WORK BUT NO-ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM, I HAVE SEEN A PSYCHOLOGIST, PSYCHIATRY, ENVIRONMENTAL MEDICINE DOCOR, SEVERAL HOLISTIC/ ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE AND STILL NO RESULTS. THEY THINK I HAD PARKINSON'S DISEASE at Duke but came back and said later after 2-3 months of seeing and treating me 3 Neurologists came inside at once there they decided that it wasn't Parkinson's Disease and that they said it was nothing neurological going on with me. I've also been
diagnosed with IBS, MUSCLE CRAMPS, BLASTOCYSTOSIS, but out that I did not
have those diseases either: THEY THOUGH I MIGHT HAD STIFF MAN'S DISEASE, ETC. AND STILL I HURT THE SAME AND THE PROBLEM HAS BECAME WORSE. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU. I HAVE 4 KIDS, MARRIED AND LIVE IN JACKSONVILLE, NC AND A 20 YEAR VETERAN FROM US NAVY AND HAS NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO ANY WAR FARE CHEMICALS.. I NEED YOUR HELP BAD AND QUICK. MY BLOOD WORK ALL IS NORMAL 98.6 TEMP. 128/72 BLOOD PRESSURE, GOOD PULSE BUT SOMETHING IS EATING THE INSIDES OF ME. I'VE BEEN LIVING IN A NEW HOME FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, FRESH PAINT, NEW CARPET, ETC. I CAN DO EXERCISES BUT WHEN I FINISH MY WHOLE BODY FEELS AS THOUGH I HAVE SPREAD THIS DISEASE AROUND INSIDE OF ME. I have also noted that my saliva is pretty thick and "sticky like glue." Maybe what's I have inside of me is of a clear, glazed, acrylic nature and that's why it don't show up on X-Ray . But I have been tested several times for heavy metal and it comes out negative. My forehead is always cold. My eyes burn all day long. My co-workers states that they smell a snuff like smell in my office and I can relate to that because that's the fume that I have been telling everyone about I smells. I'm eager to try your system. I Hope your system can find out what's going on inside of my body. It appears to me this all started years ago when I kept felling something burning my stomach in 1999.
My whole entire
body gets hard, heavy and tight. I pray to "GOD" that you can help me. It feels as though ever time that I sit I'm sitting on AIR BUBBLES and this sticky stuffs runs out my mouth because it disintegrate all over by body as I sit down Like it does when a kid is blowing bubbles through a toy piece. It feels soft and mushy between my thighs and buttock. If I stand up for a while this flows through my legs and make them tight and sticky. It appears to freeze up when I'm a sleep or don't move for a while but as soon as I move or wake up it melts and feel fizzy and fuzzy like and burns and spreads out bubbling all over and it has this odor in it. My face is always cold and fizzy, fuzzy and my chest is also tight and heavy. "IT'S NOT MUSCULAR RELATED, PLEASE DON'T THINK THAT. MY NEUROLOGIST FROM JOHN HOPKINS CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T THAT (PARKINSON'S/DISEASE).
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT I HAVE THIS STRANGE FUNGUS, MOLD OR SOMETHING THAT'S EATING UP MY INSIDES AND NEED TO COME OUT OF ME.
**** I FEEL SO HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY AND COLD FROM THIS STUFF NOT MY BODY BUT THIS STUFF IS COLD AND HEAVY INSIDE OF ME.

I am 56 and have had this problem for something like 15 years. I won't put the details because its just repeating most of what everyone else is saying. I will offer two things. Sinus irrigation is essential. That can be done with a Grossan Sinus Irrigator, made specifically for this and highly recommended by doctors. It can also be done with a neti pot, although I haven't ever used one of those. I have gotten to the point where I just put about 1/2 t. of table salt in a 6 ounce glass and add warm water to dissolve then lean over a sink and suck it in your nose (kind of snort it...it won't hurt.) It's kind of a rhythm...snort...hawk....short....hawk....then hold finger over one nostril at a time and leaning over blow from that nostril, but not fiercely or you'll blow the water into your eardrum. Just firmly and evenly. Do each nostril...maybe several times. Also spit. I know this is kinda gross, but hey, we've all been living with draining mucus in our throats for years, and that's gross too! The other thing is to check with your doctor on the likelihood that you may have GERD (gastroesophagael reflux disease). That's when you eat or drink you have stomach acid that regurgitates up into your esophagus. It can mimic a certain amount of the mucus problem and can even cause asthma. If you are overweight, you have even more of a liklihood of having this. Start paying attention to whether after you eat, you have to hawk out mucus from your throat. When you drink a soft drink? When you drink coffee? Milk? Spicy food? Do some research and see if it sounds like it fits. If it does, you need to be on a medication like Prevacid or Omeprazole (generic version which you can get from some place like Walmart). It's what is referred to as a "proton pump inhibitor". It is essentially reducing the acid in your stomach. Having GERD and not treating it, especially if its severe, can be dangerous as the stomach acid backs up into your esophagus, which isn't supposed to have acid in it, and it actually can cause esophagael cancer which is pretty deadly. Check it out with your doc. One more thing I can suggest is to keep a journal of when this mucus problem is the worst and what your environment is like at the time, what you may have eaten, stuff like that. Pay attention to what may be "triggers". They can be environmental (like dust, mold, etc.), certain foods, certain chemicals, or other allergy reactions. I still deal with this every day and I call it my moose-call. Its annoying, but it used to be a lot worse. I hope something here helps somebody who is dealing with this. And please, if anyone breaks the code on this, let me know.
I have a similar problem too. It is most active in the morning and evening. Mucus in the throat and in the nose as well. I wake up every morning with one side of my nose clogged. If I'm not hacking up something, I'm often clearing my throat and people think I'm seriously trying to get their attention with the rough throat "ahems." I've had this chronic mucus thing for maybe 5 years now. It started in my early 30's. It appears to be genetic, for my mother and her father and my brother all have it too. I've tried one product and didn't like it. An ear nose and throat doctor suggested Mucinex. I don't think the sprays and pills will permanently stop the condition. They might be useful around important temporary events like trips or weddings. Breathing in steam is okay but not very effective. I plan to try a saline treatment and a netti pot (that one seems intimidating). When all is said and done, I think this chronic mucus thing is going to be around the rest of my life. My relatives have tolerated it for years and years. Wow. The most annoying thing about it is that other people have to deal with it, because they hear it and always ask what's wrong. : ( I will check back from time to time to see if anyone else is finding success.
Hello all,
It's been about a year for me. Constant throat clearing from what feels like a thickened mucus around the trachea (or that spot where you open up to swallow). I feel like I keep having to hack up some mucus (or gastric substance) out from the esophagus into my mouth to spit it out (it isn't that concrete but it's really what it feels like). In the morning, about an hour after I get up, it's always worse (mucus feel thicker).
I too have been through the whole nine yards of tests and medications;
I wont give up until i've gone through ALL possible scenarios are covered which, by process of elimination means i still have to check for:
I'm now trying "St-John's wort'" which is a natural anti anxiety solution. It seems to calm me and help during the daytime. Mornings are still rough though.
I did get some indications from my many doctor visits that this could be a few things all at once, allergies, mucus thickening and quite probably some form of acidic (or non) reflux. Many seem to beleive this is caused by anxiety! Note that anciety can be quite covert ... I may have lived and accepted high levels of ot through out my life and only started to feels actuals symptons now such as this throat clearing nightmare ...
For the record, I too have a white bumpish situation going on on my tongue (sometimes burns a little) ... My ORL says this is due to an imbalance of the tongue recycling itself (the little sensors on the tongue are apparantly constantly recycling and something is unbalancing the cycle?). I'm guessing the constant hacking up of mucus/gastric sunstance is the cause of this as it comes and goes with the intensity of my throat clearing episodes.
I hope this helps some of you. I will certainly keep us posted on my findings and count on all of us to do the same to once and for all find a solution to what seems to be a common problem ?

It's been about a year for me. Constant throat clearing from what feels like a thickened mucus around the trachea (or that spot where you open up to swallow). I feel like I keep having to hack up some mucus (or gastric substance) out from the esophagus into my mouth to spit it out (it isn't that concrete but it's really what it feels like). In the morning, about an hour after I get up, it's always worse (mucus feel thicker).
I too have been through the whole nine yards of tests and medications;
- Sinus scan (tried nasal sprays + sinus rince which helps a little)
Chest scan (all good there)
Gastroscopy (all good there)
Motility test (all good there)
24 ph study (regular lvls of 7 which may point to non acidic reflux)
Allergie tests (weed, grass where positive but my problem persists in winter covered snow)
Lower abdominal ultrasound (nothing and nope, i'm not pregnant ...)
I wont give up until i've gone through ALL possible scenarios are covered which, by process of elimination means i still have to check for:
- Food allergies (some foods trigger either "non" acidic reflux or mucus thickening)
MII for "non" acidic reflux which can be treated with a small surgery
Anxiety which seems to be a common cause for both reflux (acidic or not) and mucus problems
I'm now trying "St-John's wort'" which is a natural anti anxiety solution. It seems to calm me and help during the daytime. Mornings are still rough though.
I did get some indications from my many doctor visits that this could be a few things all at once, allergies, mucus thickening and quite probably some form of acidic (or non) reflux. Many seem to beleive this is caused by anxiety! Note that anciety can be quite covert ...

i know what it is. do you have acid reflux ? yes ? well treat that with zantac tablets daily, before you feel the need and in time, it will all be gone.... ! trust me ... seen it, done it, it works. you also need a nasel spray to stop the sinnutes from leaking too. when acid reflux comes back from the stomach, up into the throat, the body sets of a defence, producing mucus to protect this area, swelling and blocking the throat with mucus, because it is so near the sinnutes it sets them off too. it will never go until you stop the acid reflux. stop that and your sorted. so basically sort the acid problem with your doctor and you will be on your way to recovery. i had it for about 6 years and found my answers in america !!! :-D :-D :-D
