Living with excessive mucus everyday. I can't cough it up and have gone to an ENT, gastrologist and several tests with no answers. Diagnosed as LPR but last test showed moderate acid reflux. At night mucus thickens and spend hours trying to loosen. It's been 3 1/2 years (after my 2nd covid vaccine) NO one has given me an answer or interested. I am lost. Diet, allergy meds no help....not sure what my next step is so disgusted!! We need help!!

I have been using a cool mist humidifier set up on a barstool at my bedside. It mists about 2feet above my face & helps keep my nose&sinus mucus looser. I can cough& nose blow in morning to easier clear the mucus.
That thick mucous you can scoop out with your hands is bad. I ended up prescribed an inhaler that gave me a little relief in the coughing I had because of it. Maybe ask your doctor.
I’ve been overloading not pacing well. My mucous is behaving I’m the same, then it goes lower and my vagus nerve gets inflamed and I hiccup. Could be a couple of weeks to cool down. We do need help

I had that for years as well. Though not totally gone now, it is massively lessened-I can put full sentences together without having to try to clear my throat. I never found a remedy except, ugh-that awful word, time.
