Hi, I am George and I feel as if I have glue like substance in my throat, I try to swallow it to clear throat but sometimes I manage to swallow it partly, sometimes not, it stays there, at the back wall of throat. Once it is not swallowed I hack it to clear and all this process seems as hacking and clearing which is disturbing. This feeling is not all day long, but in some intervals. Mostly after I have breakfast in the morning, or at daytime it arrives suddenly from nowhere, when I am say nervously strain, concentrating on business, before important business meeting or similar occasions when I am excited, etc. In addition to this glue in throat I feel as well need to clear my throat from similar mucous which I feel is formed in the chest little below from throat. As if when I breath there is some sticky mucous on the walls of my air channel in the section where chest is and I feel need to clear it out, and again I begin hacking and coughing (mostly hacking, i.e. straining body and trying to push this mucous out of the air channel by blowing from lungs). It is not so easily cleared as I feel I deal with very little amount but very sticky and difficult to detach substance, so process takes sometimes up to an hour that I tackle and try to clear it and then finally at certain point I feel I overtaken it and then feel better but already with worm in mind as to when to expect next attack. I am afraid not to spoil anything in my throat with so many hacking and straining of muscles in throat. In addition periodically I feel to have post nasal drip that aggravates situation. But whatever come down from nasal cavity I can swallow it and it is good that I can. In general I often feel sore throat. All that put together prompted me to examine my GERD status and about year ago I was diagnosed with X-ray examination that I had reflux. Doctor prescribed me Rabemark-DSR pills and after having received it for 20 days my situation was improved considerably and I had not any complaints but after several months and in winter period which we have now (about +6 C outside temperature) those symptoms came back and again my mental nervous fear came back. I feel fear at certain moment not to manage to clear that mucous substance and it may prevent my breath with clogging the very place in throat where swallowing process is made. I have not experienced so far such prevention of breath as I manage to hack this sticky mucous but its presence there is so unpleasant that I have nervous fears not to encounter such obstruction of breathe one day. In addition to find out more about what problems might be there recently I made phibro-laringoscopy (procedure of going down with pipe with camera down till vocal cords), examination showed that all is ok except one, which is that it detected one small polyp of 5mm diameter at the lower edge of one vocal cord, it was disregarded by doctor and said that it can not cause such symptoms which I describe above, About polyp doctor said to leave it as it is and let s observe it in dynamics, try to check again by examination in a 1,5-2 months and see what happened with this polyp. Has any time any doctor encountered such symptoms and problems in patients which I describe? Because I feel I am alone with this problem and it makes me depressed. Is there any medication to get rid of it? I am 39 years old man and it is last 3-4 years that I experience these, before that I never had any of such problem and life was happier. If any doctor values inner voice of patient I feel all those problems comes from my Reflux plus strain in body (spasm) which I feel is present in me and it is cause of lifestyle which I follow last 10 years, it is full concentration on business, worry and nervous feeling as to how successful will be business, how successfully I can maintain and supply my family needs, worrying about 3 kids, etc. Sometimes I dream of cozy, remote escape where I could afford complete relaxing of all muscles of all my body, where I could neglectly take a sleep of one week and would give my brain luxury of rest. May be those my feelings can help you build conception about my standpoint and enable you formulate what can be advised to me to tackle above stated problem of throat clearing.
