Excessive mucus without cough

Hi all, my name is William. I am a sophomore in college, with a similar case. For my entire life, I have had excess mucus, but never enough to warrant me going to the hospital. However, this year in January, I started gagging one night on my own mucus. Since then, I have been to 3 hospitals, and seen 6 doctors. I have used pseudophedrine, prednisone, cetirizine, flonase, albuterol, omeprazole, azelastine, montelukast, mucinex, zyrtec, claritin, and daily sinus rinses. I am still having massive problems. Many times, there is so much mucus I cannot even breathe, but just end up gagging. This is affecting my studies, sleep, and overall quality of life. I have done CT scan of my sinuses, chest X-Ray, and allergy test. Any help would be amazing.

@wrliu24587- Welcome to Mayo Connect. This sounds so frustrating and very familiar to a lot of people here. Let me ask you if you are over 18 years of age. There are students of all ages that are in college now so I don't assume anyone's ages.
Can you tell me what kinds of doctors you have seen? Have any of them been specialists like ENT, GI, Pulmonologist?
