I have had a problem for years that I always have something caught in my throat.
I can’t swallow it and I can’t clear my throat to bring it up either
At first they thought it was reflux and I had the reflux surgery and it didn’t help.
I have had numerous endoscopy and they can’t find anything wrong
I have seen three ENT doctors and have gotten no relief
The current doctor has me on an anti depressant and omenprazel.
I have up coming appointments with speech therapist and a follow up with an neurologist
This is getting to the point where it’s affecting me physically and mentally
There are times when I’m embarrassed to leave my house. Who wants to be near someone when he clears their throat constantly
I’m getting to the point where I’m afraid of becoming a recluse
Oh I have also seen nose specialist and it’s not post nasal drip either
Has anyone had this and overcome it?
I’m at the end of my rope

Same boat; lots of testing, probing, and guinea pig meds and supplements; nothing helps!!!!
Also….my ENT offered a nerve block but apparently the improvements can sometimes be short term. Might be another possibility.
Hi, I just now joined this group. I was going to make a post about what I am going through. Sounds like you have the same issue. I have been diagnosed with Eagle syndrome a very rare condition. I had the same responses from doctors prescribe me the same medicines as you told me it was acid reflux, and postnasal drip You may want to do some research on Eagle syndrome. Prayers hope you get the help you need and I hope I do too. I have been struggling with this for about 15 years now. -Gabriel
I have a friend with a constant throat clearing issue, and it was diet related for him. Gluten included.
Have you had your Thyroid checked?

Your description (from two years ago) is very similar to what I’ve experienced for many years. I’ve been to multiple ENTs, had an endoscopy (showed nothing unusual), been worked up for allergies, and been on multiple meds. Nothing has worked. Sometimes the problem is bearable and sometimes absolutely awful with constant sensation of mucus but inability to clear throat. Have you found any relief for your condition?
Thanks for any feedback.
