I may have a similar issue. I haven't awakened from sleep, but do clear my throat a lot in the evening. It seems like thick mucus. My GI doc will do an endoscopy to investigate, but suspects I have laryngopharyngeal reflux. It's also called silent reflux. Maybe check that out. Good luck

Thank you. That is very interesting, I have had an endoscopy, and they said there was nothing unusual. However, the endo was done before all of the issues with the mucous started. Maybe the esophogram will show something. Did they give you any treatment or suggest anything that could improve it or make it go away? And it does seem to become worse in the evening.
