I always have this feeling that something is in my throat possible allergies?

Question

Anytime during the day I feel like my throat has something in it, which makes it feel like I can't breeth. I try to clear my throat, but it doesnt make it better, I know this may sound grose but I can't help it, I find my self having to hock up lugies in order to feel like I can breeth. It gets really bad at night when I try to go to sleep. I can go lay down at 10pm and won't be able to fall asleep until somewhere around 3am b/c I feel like I can't breeth b/c my thoat feels like there is something in it and it also feels like my throat also tightens up or closes, I'm not quite sure. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow for this problem. I just want to know if there is anyone out there who has experienced the same thing or may be able to refer me to some websites. Thanks

Answer 1

what you described is known as post nasal drip it indicates allergic rhinitis aka seasonal allergies, any allergy medicine would be good for you as well as steaming and gargles, good luck

Answer 2

Do you feel like this after you eat? It could be acid reflux. I had this and the only thing that seemed to help was taking prevacid or it could be a goiter in your throat and those have to be cut out. I had an endoscopy done first, which stretched my eshpagus (spelling) then my doctor put me on prevacid ever since then I've been fine.

Answer 3

It might be allergies, or it might be something altogether different. Fortunately, you have set that appointment so you should be able to find out what's going on.

Try drinking a glass of water before you go to bed. I normally would suggest hot tea, but not without knowing what you're allergic to- if that is what you're dealing with.

Good luck!
