Docs Don't Know What It Is, I'm About to Kill Myself Posted: 10-05-06 12:56pm
I have been now to a very experienced ent
doc who has been in the practice for 60
years and never ever saw anything what I
have. He asked me various questions and
looked thoroughly in my throat and
couldn't see anything his final ruling was
anxiety-stress related. Yes i'm on a
lot of stress but still skeptical.
I had this problem now since late
february. I always have a feeling like
something is sticking around my adam's
apple area kinda like mucuous but in no
way it's not, and it causes me to
repetitely swallow to clear it which is
very annoying. Before it used to last
a few weeks, then pass and each time it
came back it was milder and milder and
then gone, and for about 3 months it was
completely gone. But now it came back
several weeks with no break and on top of
it a new symptom where I feel as if the
uvula (tissue that hangs in your mouth in
your throat) is being irritated by my
tongue and it always causes me to clear my
throat as well. The only thing I found
that relieves this problem, is eating
especially something juicy like hot dogs,
steak, french fries with ketchup etc.
But drinking anything aggravates it a bit.
I also have mild chronic cryptic
tonsilitis but the doc said that is
nothing related to what you have.
My ent doc gave me some medicine that
increases saliva in your mouth, the name
is potassium iodine but no pharmacy has
it. Now he wants to give me another
medicine that will dry out my mouth and
stop swallowing (no I will still be able
to eat and everything will be fine).
What the hell do I have, please help me,
this problem is very very annoying, it's
driving me insane. All this repetitive
swallowing and other stuff I do to relieve
my throat constantly is making my throat
irritated and dry. But then again I
wouldn't be surprised if I get zero
replies since this is very unusual what I
have.

I had the same thing including the
tonsillitis! I tried the potassium and it
didn’t work.....If you also have this
symptoms:
burning feeling in the back of your
throat
sour taste in your mouth at all times
(even after brushing your teeth)
post nasal drip
difficulty breathing (feeling stuffed at
all times)
the mornings are the worse when you wake
up with the sore throat
dry cracked lips from time to time
you might have acid reflux or gerd look
into it! And dont give up !
Hope it helps!
