Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As you mentioned that you hardly sleep 3 hours in day, so this may be the reason of fatigue.
Throat is hurting and you feel that there is large amount of sputum in the throat.
Since you are a smokers for last 18 years so this may be due to smokers cough with sticky phlegm ( expectoration or mucus ).
As smoking develops allergy and antigen antibody also produces and all these develops mucus ( sticky substance ).
The cough and sticky mucus are due to allergen of smoking.
In my opinion the best way is to consult a physician and get an X ray with M R I and give up smoking .
Within a short period you will feel better.
Good luck.
