@jc76 I'm on board with vagus nerve. In 1990 I was exposed to an unknown toxin in the AF. Since then, all sorts of health and nerve problems. 23 years later learned what it most likely was. I believe my vagus nerve is in a constant state of overdrive. One thing I've suffered with since is chronic overproduction of mucous. Even at night when I lay down in bed, long after any meal. Also first thing in the morning spending up to 20 minutes to cough up yuck. I've learned to manage to some.degree but never any real resolve and frankly any and all doctor's have been useless. What happened to me changed my life forever. It is what it is, I do the best with natural.remedies and have had more relief from that than allopathic meds.
