hi there, I've recently started to realise that i'm much more anxious and uncomfortable than most when i'm anywhere near another person. The reason for this is because I feel a constant stream of mucus going down my throat that (and I know this sounds weird but) gives off a foul smell out of my nose as I breathe. I've been to my local GP multiple times, often taking the same medicines each time and even went to a few more major doctor appointments but nothing they've given me has worked. I know for a fact that there is a lot of mucus at the back of my throat(or somewhere around there), and I also know there is some sort of foul smell. I remember watching a video about a man who would have uncontrollable burps throughout his day and what cured it was anxiety medication. So I was wondering if I could be having a similar experience where anxiety has manifested some sort of illness within me. Honestly, I don't really know what I'm talking about but I'm pretty desperate. I've had this "foul smell" issue since I was about 14-15 and now that I'm 16 and going to college, there's much more of an emphasis on building meaningful relationships but I honestly really struggle with being near people in person now.
hi there sorry to hear of your troubles
has the doctor ever mentioned to you a sinus infection or a postnasal drip?
i had these a year ago it was absolutely dreadful i still suffer sometimes now i had a scan on my sinuses through my ent consultant and a camera through my nose and it transpired that im suffering from LPR silent reflux also
try a netipot it is amazing to clear out any unwanted mucas etc and it should help ease the smell if theres alot trapped please try not to worry x
