A member asked:
When i got sick and got thick mucus in the back of my throat, i started noticing swallowing problems. it could be due to anxiety. sometimes, when i drink my protein shake, it feels like the powder is stuck in the back of my throat. is this normal?

See your ENT: People wrongly presume they don’t have acid reflux if they don’t have heartburn — but actually throat-clearing can be the main symptom.The acid causes irritation in the oesophagus and this irritation triggers the production of mucus. LPR is often used by otolaryngologists to describe laryngeal findings of irritation in patients with chronic throat symptoms, incl. cough, hoarseness, throat clearing
