I have GERD and take Omeprazole, but it doesn't help this condition of constant drainage, occasional coughing fits, congestion (for decades) and, lately, this out-of-the-blue choking and/or increased super-sensitivity to things going down my throat, possibly even going down - or just FEELING like they're going down - the wrong way.

I tried to treat allergies to dust, old, mildew, pollen decades ago when I moved from the east coast to Texas, but the allergy doctor's prescription for shots didn't make a difference, and I quit those after a year.

HOWEVER, I did just come across this mention on the Washington Post website, and if you can't link to it via this without a subscription, I think you can still sign up to check/search topics without a subscription. But there must be other articles on it - maybe even here on the Mayo Clinic website:

I hope this might help at least some. I'm going to bring it up with my new doctor I'm meeting for the 1st time this Tuesday - after my PCP of many years 'up and retired' with nothing but a "10-day notice" from his office.

Best to everyone.
