*** Posted in general because its both chest &ENT ****
I’ve been having this problem where after seeing many many healthcare professionals there has been no outcome. This has been going on for almost 2 years, have been through so many misguided professionals to where one labeled it stress and another later said, who ever thinks its stress is wrong. I have been smoking inconsistently since it started. I’m 18.
Symptoms:
- In throat with deep breath i receive a sharp pain at the bottom of my neck/ throat meeting the chest causing me to cough. (If I fight the pain, holding my deep breath, it slips away.)
- Found im really bad at running, unsure if its because im unfit, but it normally hurts after running in the chest, If I run hard I choke sometimes, ts me choking on mucas and find it hard to breath but still unsure if its my fitness. I never remember running being like this I use to compete.
- Unsure if the above ///\ is connected to bellow /// but I think It is
- My mouth sometimes looses skin layers as if it peels and then it heals back
- Ulcers in my mouth, anywhere normally, sometimes in the same place.
- Mouth is dry allays
- Originally I had thin bubbly mucus constantly from 2 years to a half a year ago, however now when I suction my tong to the roof of my mouth I grapple like very large clumps of mucas ranging from the size of a lego brick to an m&m -Great definition I know
- Mucus is creamy yellow and brown, with super sliminess, and sometimes almost bits of harden lumps in it.
- breath normally, eh not great
- -Mucus always common when I wake up
- If I cough its more of a cough to clear and sounds like a splatter, usually a deep cough, coughing only if i need and not stupidly excessive but definitely common during the day
- all together is super uncomfortable
Initiatives iv tried:
- Sent to 2 ENT specialists, one stating its stress, yet I almost forgot about it for a wile untill the symptoms got worse, I still stand strong to it not being stress, because this ‘thing’ has been super consistent for 2 years
- -ENT looked down nose said nothing is wrong
- Tried nasonex multiple times for about 2 weeks strait, no effect, (this was done in early stages with clear mucus.
- Most Antibiotics (IDK which)
- Even getting my tonsils removed, no effect
- Seeing a mouth specialist, been told to get off sls containing products. (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) No effect
- had doctor listen to my chest, no findings.
Still however havn’t had any xrays.
