Do you constantly clear your throat or have a persistent cough?

- Do you have constant throat clearing, nasal drip, a lump sensation in your throat, hoarseness, or a chronic cough? You make be suffering from silent reflux.
Dr. Carothers explains a commonly performed test to diagnosis silent reflux called Restech Oropharyngeal pH Monitoring.
I have tics and have all these symptoms. I have GERD but it’s mostly from physically forcing acid up from these stomach/diaphragm tics I have and from clearing my throat/coughing ALL DAY LONG.
I’ve had a barium swallow test, PFT (where you sit in a clear chamber and wear a mask), endoscopy, MRI’s, CT scan, they don’t see anything anatomically wrong and I even got a diagnosis of “hypersensitive cough reflex disease” because I SWEAR it feels like something is constantly in my throat!!
It’s to the point now where I choke SO EASILY! When I go to drink I have to use a straw or the liquid will go down my wind pipe before I even try to swallow. I choke on my spit all the time! But no doc will do anything about it any further because they just blame my Tourette’s.
I can’t get my cavities filled, I had serious complications after a major abdominal surgery from the incision opening up from me coughing so hard and so much, I had a prolapse after giving birth that instead of healing just got worse because of the coughing so every time I cough i can feel my insides literally trying to bulge out and have to have a hysterectomy just to fix it!!!
I have horrific headaches, random nausea that’s debilitating, fatigue, back and muscle pain (on top of fibromyalgia) and had to quit my job as an EMT because my symptoms are so severe I couldn’t take care of patients.
All this and was even denied disability! Doctors just blow me off and no one will help me. I even wrote in to the show The Drs!
my abdominal tics also caused chronic reflux/gerd which then became barrett's esophagus . I also have a cough that doesn't seem to have a reason. Could be silent reflux, could be something like you experience I wonder .
I have a constant cough and throat clearing it is really annoying I have had this for 6 years almost 7 years it is usually triggered by dust, choking on water, sneezing (if really hard), exercise, clearing of throat, choke on saliva,smoke ( cigarettes/vapes ).
I have been taken to the hospital numerous times and they have found nothing wrong my dad thinks it's fake which is not I would not continue doing something that annoys me and hurts my throat for 6 years.
My dad says it's gingivitis
My grandma says it's second hand smoking which makes sense because every time I'm on the road or at home the adults are smoking and vaping with the windows up or closed and that is what also triggers it I have taken alot of medication, cough drops, make tea with honey and lemon and nothing works. The cough drops help a little it gets rid of the cough only temporarily there was one time we're it stopped completely for a few months then it came back I just want this to stop my dad gets frustrated with me about my cough and we argue alot i keep up the family at night with my cough I disturb the class with my coughing I'm tired of having to go to the store to get cough drops and have to take all these medications I hope I find a solution for this me and my family are still looking and trying there best to help mabey some day I'll find a solution.
[UPDATE ]
Great news my constant cough that I had fo 6 to 7 years is finally gone I feel a lot better I can finally sleep good with out coughing and pain in my throat but what made it go away I don't know it just went away when I got admitted to the hospital by ambulance for this before it was a cough then it got worse because I was having trouble breathing I couldn't catch my breath so I was always panting and gasping for air like I ran 50 miles not stopping for a break plus I tested positive for covid and I had another sickness on top so it was difficult for me to sleep or do anything I just layed in my room feeling miserable and tired and i could barley move plus I had a bad infection on my foot and knee so I was always limping around the house also bad headaches and I was always lightheaded everytime I got up to get something. And it hurt to talk so I stayed mute until my grandma called the paramedics to take me to the hospital, i couldn't eat it hurt to swallow so I lost weight I thought it would never go away I always prayed hoping that it would go away and make me better.
But then. By the time I left the hospital like a few weeks later it was gone I don't know how but it did I started getting better I am more energized, I'm eating, I'm getting sleep I feel great and I'm happy.
《THE_NIGHTRUNNER_VIA》 I am struggling with same thing but don’t know really what triggers it
@@kaitlinvinton9762 when I had it I didn't know what triggered it either but the things that I listed are the things that triggered it the most but I wish you luck that your problem goes away I am praying for you.
bro sameee this is so accurate for me
Bro same this problem with me since 6 years are you better now ??
This same shiit is giving me sleepless night and so irritating right now I'm coughing I just want to be free from this please.
Not until so long ago I found out bezoxyl works... your whole throat becomes dry but you constantly have to drink water
I nearly chocked this morning bc its been here for 2 years in my thrpat slowly chocking me
Hi I’m the same and don’t know what’s causing it
I have had chronic cough for over 3 years. had several xrays, took reflux meds no change. Had lung ct scan today. Had the swallow test 2 years ago as well. saw my ent, did a ct on my sinus, found out that my left one has stuff in it and I was born without one on the right side, also have throat clearing and nasal drip as well. The RO ph monitoring I think should be the next one before I have to have and Endoscope. This is so tiring, I need answers.
I have the same problem need to get some tests done.
Acid reflux might be due to stress, as I feel in my case. De stressing with a meditation & yoga routine might work. Also, one suggestion, try doing ujjayi breathing/pranayam twice daily. Takes 1 minute. And trust me, it gives instant relief to mucusy and stiff throat!! Daily practice also cures thyroid problems. Take care.
Do you feel better now carol peck
@@vihailevagi No, im still coughing. Had a second echocardiogram in march 2021, I may have CHF. I'm trying to get it confirmed. so frustrated that this has been going on so long.
@@carolpeck6872 I hope you get better
I have constant throat clearing and it’s extremely annoying. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I have a dry cough but rarely do I get sick.
I find that when I introduce caffeine it almost immediately starts happening the feeling of “phlegm” and it’s off the the clearing and dry throat. I do drink a lot of water too. Nothing seems to help. 😑
I have the exact same thing you have, I don’t know what to do either!!
@@lennysmith529 I find recently that distracting myself with something else besides focusing on when I’m going to cough again helps.
After eating it starts up and I have to chug water and that seems to help. I have been taking the herb: stinging nettles and it’s supposed to help with lung function. It does help but I have to make sure I blow my nose or the post nasal drip is inevitable.
Ugghhh 🤦🏼♀️
@@Cindee-Schnitman Thank you for the update, I will have to try stinging nettles, and yes focusing on something else does work to a point, lately I’ve been chewing a minty gum from time to time and it seems to help some too..
I have it too and honestly it gets so annoying when someone says just to drink water. If it were just that easy it would already be solved.
Have u done that exam inside of nose where the doctor put camera to check problems if u had will say u maybe suffer from silence acid reflux that will cause lots mucus ask doctor to do endescopy to find out if u have hernia
Gargle with salt it helps
I have always had phlegm ever since I became aware of myself as a human, ALWAYS, infact I don’t know what a clear throat is. Lol. But I’ve never had catarrh or cough. Like Ever. I wonder if it’s allergies. Never been to the hospital about it, just drink warm water 😂 I hate hospitals
Lmao i Stg when you aware it worse😂 every time after I eat grains or meat I get that shi can only eat fruit juices/H302
I get mucous if I eat too much chocolate or drink too much milk. Don’t know if you have tried eliminating things ?
I swear some people do it on purpose
is it allergies? i've never had this symptom before, nor when i have had reflux. if i'm laying down in bed and i inhale, sometimes it gets stuck in my throat and a coughing fit ensues, as if i've inhaled water on accident or something. this started around a week ago and i know i'm not sick because otherwise my parents would have been showing the same symptom, and i would be feeling way worse. this issue caused me to accidentally cough up my nightly medication into the sink- twice- yesterday, which wasted two pills i could have taken had they not been soaking wet after falling in the sink. the meds i take tend to become soft and sticky when they get wet, and that brings out their (frankly awful) taste lol. i still am having issues, what is this? i know i'm 4 years late and you probably won't write back or anything, but maybe someone will.
tldr: phlegm in my throat commonly causes coughing fits and caused me to gag on my nightly meds twice last night
Stop taking meds and fast and eat fruit juices the phlegm coke from the food you eat
@@yagirlsfav6849 i will not be doing that. i would like help from a licensed doctor
Look up anxiety and what it can do to the body. Could be that ❤
I'm a 30 year old smoker and been constant clearing throat for 2 weeks idk what to do have Dr appt next week
I have the same thing and I’m about your age and I have a doctor appointment coming up. Did they say anything for you?
That’s it?
Hi
I absolutely hate to say it but I've been on antihistamines and asthma tablets for years and they have been wonderful for my quality of life recently thought the media had stopped working due to excessive throat clearing and phlegm anyway the doc gave me medication for gerd which worked well but didn't like the potential side effects, low and behold stopped coffee, chocolate 😢 and late meals, feel a hundred percent better
It's from acid reflux
Refer me to a practitioner who does this in Cleveland, OH, please
I feel mucus stuck in my throat I try to pass it and I can't pass it and then I try to cough it out and nothing I always feel like it's always in my throat
What anti biotic destroy the mucus
I lived in an apartment that was riddled with black mold for 8 years- and for the last 4 years it was really bad- the walls even came apart and the mold was exposed. I have had a weird sensation in my right ear since 2020 and it whooshes and is full and clacks and is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced…and so it feels like it drips into my throat constantly and chokes me and i cough and cough and cough constantly for hours on end- little black things. I’ve tried to get a doctors referral to an ENT but they just told me i had allergies and to take Allegra. I’m miserable!
Continuous mucus from upper throat since 4 years consulted all types of specialists no cure going on coming some secretion is there from my nose may be any bacteria went inside my nose or throat going onspreading from throat to head only problem no problem in lungs below throat
Try honey with warm water honey is the best medicine for throat
Bezoxyl works don't know if that's the correct spelling
I used to have a problem with throat clearing. No clue what caused it .
How did it go away?
Yes how did it go away
@@arunimabhardwaj8082 mine went away on its own lol but I drank a lot of water and made sure my nose was clear also whenever I felt like coughing I just took deep breaths in:)
@@lilkid7093 oh thanks
Great info- soundtrack a bit off putting..
I think b me it's CT or bacteria due to kissing or oral Sex
Gaviscon helped me
