ive got the same mucus problem in my throat. im a man so i have never gotten pregnant nor do i have any allergies.
I have also suffered this condition. My naturopath was the only one to help me. He suggested i start by cutting out dairy and cutting out or limiting starch and to eat only lean meats. He also told me to to take vegetable enzymes to break down the mucus and I also had to do a sinus cleanse. The mucus could also be triggered by environmental toxins eg dust mites, remove carpet from home and change bed sheets regularly or get dust mite proof pillows and bed covers. Perhaps do an allergy test.
Me too. Started last spring after 1-wk sickness, (temp about 102 degrees C, lost 5 lb from not being able to eat with such a sore throat). Now I have to clear my throat all the time and everyone around me hates it. I don't think I have any other symptoms, but I've been stressed out lately.
My grandma keeps insisting it's psychological, but I can tell it is neither psychological nor allergies. I've tried Claritin, Nasacort, Singulair, Zyrtec. Only thing that has made any difference so far is Zyrtec D 12-hr, probably because of the pseudophedrine, and that too barely helps. My Dr. says to see allergist, but I know it won't help. I hope someone knows more about this than I do. :-(

Same exact thing here. I have to constantly clear my throat. Feels like there it mucus just sitting there and everytime i clear it i get like 15% of it but i can never get it all out. Sometimes its bad, sometimes its not noticable. I have a sore throat from all the clearing i have to do also. I went to my doctor recently and he didnt know what it was but his best guess was post nasal dripage and said i may have alergies.
idk.....

I have the same thing. Just started for me about a month ago. Gone to the doctor and bought a bunch of meds and nothing is helping. It's literally driving me up the wall. oh.......not pregnant either. I do however smoke. I have been trying to cut way back thinking this is the issue, but it's not working either. Hate to think of having this all the time. I feel like I have to clear my throat all the time, but nothing happends. It's horrible. I've asked friends about it and they look at me like I'm nuts. 8-|

A friend of mine had a mucus problem too and he tried MucoStop by Enzymedica www.enzymedica.com (1-888-918-1118). He said it works wonders. It balances the overflow of mucus production in the sinus, throat and chest areas. If anyone tries it, please post that it worked for you also...it really does work. It is safe enough for children to take. All you do is take 2 capsules with a glass of water 1/2 hour before each meal. Good luck!
i have the same symtoms, excessive mucus down throat, sticky, pressing on gag reflex, throwing up after coughing and gaging, a lot of mucus comes up when i throw up. and i have a "croupy" cough but i only cough when the mucus starts to flow and get stuck in my throat and it wont go up or down. it comes in "waves". im fine one minute and it starts flowing all of a sudden and sends me into a coughing fit. constantly clearing throat though like there is always this film, water doesnt help because i think it is occuring above where the water goes.
prednisone steroid for a week didnt help and caused excrusiating pain in my hips. i was on 5 medicines at once: 2 pills - zyrtec & singulair and 3 sprays - astelin, rhinocort & veramist. nothing changed. now im on xy? something (which they said was similar to zyrtec but less drowsy) singulair, rhinocort and now they gave me an antibiotic because they dont know what else to do but i really dont think its an infection because everything is clear fluid even though thick and it is constant but not getting worse, also it doesnt burn or anything.
i was really upset about taking the antibiotic because it can mess up your whole system.
however i havent heard anyone complain of fluid in the ears. i have a constant "crackling" when i swallow. and a fullness behind the ears and down neck. and the steroid didnt help that at all.
ugh, it started in the middle or end of july so it is 3 months now. i am so tired and frustrated. now that i have written a bit of a novel...i just want help. :'(

I had a similar problem.
I have eliminated dairy (milk) products. Cleared it up
I now drink soy and am careful to minimize dairy.

Has anyone ever been told they have GERD or LPR which is a form of GERD without the heartburn? Especially the one who gets it worse at night? Nexium and other PPI type drugs are supposed to help, but I've been on it for over 6 months now and still have the same problems. I don't really have any other symptoms except hoarseness and gunk in the throat that won't come up or go down. Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out that, good luck.
I've been plagued with post nasal drip that collects in my throat for years. Often, especially when eating, I choke on a bit of mucus and cough until the gag reflex kicks in. It's annoying and embarassing. Recently I found out that my brother and sister have the same problem (we've always lived in different parts of the country).
I've been to several doctors over the years. I've tried numerous anti-hystamines and decongestants, medications for GERD, over-the-counter meds, holistic remedies, and even cut out all dairy products for extended periods of time! Nothing has given me significant or lasting relief. I, like others, have been told it's a nervous thing -- but it is not!!!! Right now, I'm trying a bottle of Mucinex -- still waiting to see if it will help.
I'm so sick of clearing and coughing, not to mention always being asked if I'm alright. Please tell me someone has an answer.

I have been 3 weeks with this mucus, that causes me to almost choke. I am not able to bring it up, and it feels like it blocks my throat, and then I panic and try to breathe through my nose. I can't even begin to sleep at night. My mouth is so dry it wakes and gags me. I find that talking brings on the coughing, then the gagging on the mucus. I am so happy to find this forum, but very disappointed that no one has any "cures". I've tried, Mucinex, Sudafed, nasal spray, and Prednisone. It all seemed to start like a cold that only had post nasal drip. People in this area tell me it's a viral thing that lingers for a month. I'm praying that is true and it should be gone in a week.
I live in dusty condition, and suffer from mucus running down my throat. My doctors when I lived in a polluted city indicated I had environmental allergies that cause my sinus to release mucus and cause sinus passage to become inflamed. I had to take a nasal spray that worked, but long term use could lead to problems in the nasal cavity.
I have had all the symptoms that the above are complaining about. I have started taking a mug of apple cider vinegar in hot water and a bit of honey for 3 days, and has worked wonders. It has worked and done what Robitusson and Bi Solvon have not done. And it is Natural.
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
To immediately stop the mucus and achiness, go to http://www.fibromyalgiatreatment.com/about.htm
I am a different person now. It sounds crazy, but it works!!
