RE: vmorton Mucus Production
I also bring up, whatever it truly is, mucus, phlegm, saliva, sputum. One or the other or a combination of one or the other. Hard to know. It is after every bite/meal/glass of water. Overall for me it is nearly every hour of the day and worse first thing in the morning until around 1 P.M. and it tends to subside some, until I have a snack to try and gain weight back. I would imagine for me, why it is worse in the morning, is having slept (thank goodness) and it just holding somewhere in the system until I awake to visit the bathroom and then return to the bed and have to sit up and try to clear the throat again as best I can before trying to manage it all and fall back to sleep, And then the beginning again in the morning for that day. This is also worse each time I nebulize, two times a day.
And yes, uncomfortable in public or with others and therefore, for me, limiting my ease of movement in the world and being with others. Wish I or the doctors knew what it all is but sometimes they also don't have the answers. I have a Hiatal Hernia and possibly Acid Reflux. I say possibly because one doctor said I have Acid Reflux and another said I didn't. The Hiatal Hernia, or if it is Acid Reflux....or both...it could be the culprit for me with the problem of having to clear my throat constantly. So between the clearing of the throat with the constant sputum and then the nebulizing ..... both tend to limit the ease of movement in the world and being with others. Hello BE and etc. etc. Do you have Acid Reflux or a Hiatal Hernia?
