marjoriem, God Bless You. You just wrote my story. I'm wondering if you have had COVID? I have long COVID and a lot of these symtpoms you mentioned worsened as I now have long COVID. 1) Have you tried irrigating your sinuses daily? It is not pleasant, but, it does help with the sinus drainage & thick mucous. I irrigate mine every day with NeilMed Sinus Rinse with the packets (AMAZON or WALMART) and then again at night before I go to bed if need be. I do not use but about 1/8 of a packet because it burns like the dickens if I use the whole packet. I also use distilled water. Blow your nose afterwards and it will clear out a lot of stuff for you. 2) Do not eat anything after 6:30 at night, lose weight if you need too (I'm working on this one myself!), elevate the foot of your bed and watch out for foods that irritate your reflux. I take a 20 mg Protonix in the morning (Prescription) and 1 Pepcid Acid Extra Strength at night to prevent back up reflux. This has helped tremendously. 3) I gargle with warm salt water daily to help with the thick mucous in the back of my throat. I also use Peroxdyl by Colgate per my dentist. DO NOT SWALLOW. I then scrape my tongue after using this. It helps dilute that thick mucous and then rinse my mouth. 4) Allergies & Drainage. I use Cromalyn spray (Over the Counter) as it works differently than Flonase (which can cause nose bleeds in some people) and also I use Astelin (Prescription) spray for sinus drainage. Please check with your doctor before trying any of these. I have horrible allergies and I run 2 hepa filters in my home and keep the filters changed regularly and also our heating/air system has allergy filters that we keep changed. Drinking lots of water also thins out mucous. I was using an over the counter (per my doctor) mucous thinner called Guafenesin twice a day (400 mg twice a day) that helped thin out mucous. I am praying for you as all of this stuff is so tiring. I am praying for you to get better. I understand and I care.
