Depending on what medications you are taking, the meds can cause your symptoms. In general, be sure to take your medicines with plenty of liquid so the pills don’t sit at the back of your throat. Esophageal reflux (or GERD) is also a common cause of your symptoms so, if the symptoms persist, see your doctor. You may need to see a GI doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Best of luck to you!
