mucus in throat

taape

I get it but not from drinking cold drinks. I have known seasonal allergies before I had my stomach problems. No matter, it's still annoying to have and lately it is giving me a sore throat. Do you get a sore throat from the mucos?

I ALWAYS have mucus in my throat and difficulty swallowing.

I always have it as well and yes, VERY annoying. It's part of the joy of LPR!

Do you also have headaches and pressur eon the face and all over your head? I have and it hurts pretty bad!! It feels like my heads to heavy to carry around

Hi Chickie - yes, I have chronic headaches and I do believe the headaches and mucous, for me, have come together. I have seen several ENT's and while they see drainage in my sinuses, LPR is what they have diagnosed. Unfortunately PPI's and I don't agree, so I'm taking Pepcid (which I think may also contribute to headaches). It's such a vicious cycle.

Yes to the mucus frenzy. Only taking anti-histamine daily and decongestants in conjunction with my Nexium help me. If I forget either my Nexium or Zyrtec. I feel like a volcano is about to pop my head of.. what an image.

Yes until my most recent sinus cavity roto-rootering. I got cleaned out, opened and drilled. What a wonderful long recover it was.. but it was worth it. I am finally headache free.

This makes me think you might have allergy rhinittus or a sinus structural defect trapping fluid in your sinus cavities. An allergist and ENT might give you the best relief to this issue.

How does LPR make you have mucous in your throat all the time? Is it the body trying to protect itself from the acid? Also if I have mucous but no sore throat or cough does that mean I've got LPR or not?

I don't have a cough and I am currently being treated for LPR which is causing Sinusitis. I did read that the mucus is being overproduced to try and protect the throat from the acidic refluxing. Prilosec and Zantac have helped me tremendously...currently on week 4.

HELLO!
im glad i found these boards i am finding that people have similar problems and symtoms that i have had for years and thought to be the only one to have. the mucus always in my throat is one. i have trouble swallowing. and it IS vert annoying. troubly eating. my stomach does get bloated after eating. i have chronic headaches. i think i might have LPR!!

i will go see a doctor and tell them about this being as their reply to all my syymptoms usually were "anxiety" "stress" and "asthma"

which brings me to this, i found this board searching for online answers to my breathing problems. there is a thread on here with people experiencing the same problems as i. my heart flutters and i feel like i have to yawn to get a full breath but its hard to do so.

do people with LPR also have this problem? If so i think i may have found what has been causing me all these symptoms and knowing what it is would be such a great relief!

hope to hear some replies on this, i am so happy right now! even if im having trouble breathing and the phlem in my thoat is so annoying i feel like chocking!

I also suffer from breathing problems - I do not have LPR - but I do have Acid Reflux/GERD with a suspected mild hiatal hernia. I believe that this conditions definitely contributes to my breathing difficulties.

I have noticed lately that after eating I get mucous coming up into my throat. I wonder if mine is worsening - I sure hope not.

There are many here that suffer from LPR - and it does cause them breathing problems as well.

I hope you find some answers and relief very soon.
