I've had a similar issue ever since I had my tonsils and adenoids removed in 2014.
At first I thought it was just the scabs that were suppose to clear out (they tell you about this before the procedure), but it has happened AT LEAST monthly since then.
At some point during the month, I have this really full sensation in the nasal cavity behind my nasal passage and above my throat. Within a couple of days I get this stinging sensation and over the next day or so I feel it slowly detaching from *something* and then it slides down my throat and I cough it out. Not really "slide" because it is very, very sticky and goopy and dense. It kind of just sticks there and you choke a bit until you either swallow it or cough it out.
It is dense like a semi-wet cotton ball, about the size of a cherry tomato. It kind of resembles and sticky, rubbery, dense piece of animal fat that is covered in a thin layer of snot.
Flushing it with water does not dissolve or disintegrate it. It only washes off the outer layer.
Immediately after it dislodges the rest of the way, my throat will sting for about a minute. Then for the next 20 or so minutes, I talk really funny. Like all the air rushes up and out of my nose really fast so I sound super nasally and there is less "oompf" behind my speech.
I brought it up to my doctor once but he was really dismissive and put off the vibes like maybe I was exaggerating or something. Both my husband and sister have seen it and questioned it though. So idk.
The positive consequence: For about a day or so after it dislodges, it feels really easy to breathe - even if I have a lot of boogies in my nose. Like there is no obstruction to the air flow going down the back of my throat and into my trachea. But then in a few weeks time, the process repeats.
I do notice that when I am more dehyrated or in a dryer climate, the mass is harder and the outer "snot" layer is more like a scab and sometimes will have blood bits on it. When I have been swimming a lot, it is a lot more slippery and fuller (less compacted), but still solid.

I just had all of those symptoms yesterday, headache, sore throat, chills, now that tissue discharge from my throat, I do not know what it is though, I’m unsettled to say the least

I just want to say that I'm glad I'm not alone. Phewph! I've been dealing with the flu for 5 days and had the fever/chills (and a million other symptoms - I'll spare you tje details... and I'm now coughing like it's nobody's business. I had the same thing. I'm coughing up mucous, but also a couple times now, these chunky masses that are flesh coloured with blood and looking veiny. Not to sound gross, but almost like raw chicken.
I had strep throat over a month ago and had it happen to me then, as well. It has to be tissue from your throat that just needs to come out. We can't ALL be dying. Lol

Dudes. ME TOO. I had a fever, tonsilitis, rigid painful stomach for two days. Felt something in my back of my throat. NOW I just coughed a ball of mucus, little blood, veins and part of it was stiff! I feel relieved waiting for a result.

I took a picture of mine. This is the 2nd time this has happened.I too went to my doctor and she prescribe me an antibiotic. All my symptoms subsided but came back in 6 month. Prescribed an antibiotic and good for 5 or 6 month again coughed up another chunk. What the check!

I had a minor pain in my throat, and I checked for strep but it was not strep. About a month later I had some sort of yeast or UTI for about 2 weeks. Then the yeast or UTI stopped, but I started to have mild-high fevers and flu like symptoms. I had a sore troat as well
I took some cold-eaze, rubbed myself down with alcohol, gargled with salt water, took vinegar, honey, and got some rest. I later snorted and cough up like a fleshy membrane tissue like thing. I had pink blood inside of it. Later that day I blew the same thing out of my nose. The thing looks solid. I plan to go to the ENT Doctor.
