I discovered I had really bad breath in 2015 at work when Clients refused to see me, I have done every Test my ENT can think of to no avail, I have had Nasal Turbinate reduction, CT Scan does not show anything, I have had Imaging to check for reflux done dental checks, checked for Tonsil Stones, Been Prescribed Prednisone, and every allergy nasal spray to no avail, I use a dehumidifyer with my CPAP and throat is never dry.
Changed Diabetes Prescription incase it was a reaction to it all to no avail.
I still have phlegm in throat and really bad breath and feeling suicidal as I cannot earn a living anymore.
Please help as I am out of options.

@bbjaide- You must feel like a pariah. How awful you must feel, even as you understand the reason. Has a periodontist checked your gums for periodontal disease? I'm also wondering if you've had blood work to make sure that you do not have any infections.
I also think that the amt of phlegm might be a reaction to what is causing your bad breath.
I wish that I could offer more hope and encouragement but I also don't know how this can be solved. Could you be taking any other medications that could cause this?

Have you seen an endocrinologist for your diabetes? It may be worth a visit.
I understand that you probably sick of visiting doctors, I really do. Earlier this year I needed a break from all of my doctors that treat my lung disease. I thought that I would scream, leave me alone!

Will you please let me know if you have been to any of these specialists that I have mentioned?

@merpreb Thank you for responding, Yes I have seen both a Periodontist and I see an Endocrinologist for the Diabetes, My A1C has been stable at 6.1 for the last 5 years, I am just desperate.
I thank you for taking the time to do some research.
