What Causes Constant Gagging?
Question: What would cause a constant gagging feeling that has persisted for several months?
Brief Answer:
Post nasal drip or GERD could be the cause.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query. Two broad possibilities need to be kept in consideration:
* Post nasal drip - It is due to an allergic reaction where thick mucus is produced in the throat and that gives the gagging sensation.
* Gastroesophageal reflux - The stomach acids may regurgitate back to the throat, thus giving a gagging sensation.
The exact reason can be discerned only after a careful examination and I would insist you to visit a doctor for the same.
Regards
