It is 5am, I have been up for an hour and have only had about 2 hours of sleep. Night after night I have had the same issue. Covid in mid-June. Beginning of August, post-nasal drip and constant need to clear the thin clear sticky mucus from throat. The doctors initially threw everything at it, meaning a antibiotic, nasal sprays, decongestant and nasal rinses. Didn’t do a thing. I cannot seem to find rhyme or reason to it being better or worse from day-to-day. Most often it is worse at night but can go on all day too. My throat tends to get dry and irritated from coughing or trying to clear the tickle/trickle in my throat. Sometimes it can feel like I am drowning and other times like a tickle. I do not feel like there is anything going on with my chest/lungs. I do get plugged up on one side or another if lay to one side. Yet, I can also feel like I can breath clearly through my nose, which is the case most of the time.
Because I have so much trouble staying asleep I am sleeping in a separate room from my husband, and both my mental and physical energy through the day is stained and low. I am getting so frustrated with this and any lack of ability to find a solution. I would like to know real solutions to only the same sensations. Thank you kindly.
