On occasion after i eat i have a lot of clearing throat and hacking going on. what is that from? its been going on for years.

Possible GERD: One of the most common reasons for this symptom is undiagnosed acid reflux. I noticed Ibuprofen on your list of meds. Depending on how much you take, that can aggravate acid reflux. I would limit that as well as caffeine. Consider trying an acid blocker such as otc zantac (ranitidine) or pepcid. Regardless, an eval by your doctor is important.
