Hi, I need help with a few symptoms I've been having lately.
I'm a smoker, and when I used to smoke menthols, I'd spew afterwards. So I swapped my smoke and went back to brown butts as I thought it would stop me from spewing. (I know I shouldn't be smoking but anyway) It did stop me from gagging for some time and feeling like something was stuck in my throat, like phlegm so I thought it was just because of the menthol smokes. But then I started to get that feeling, like something was stuck in my throat, even with the brown butt smokes. Anyway, it started off with this symptom after I smoked, the smell of smoke would make me gag & Id feel like something was stuck in my throat and than I'd start spewing, this happened sometimes. It got to the point where I started feeling this way, like something was stuck in my throat even when I didn't smoke. When I'd be sitting on the toilet especially (excuse the info) when I was doing number 2, the feeling of phlem in my throat would cause me to gag and eventually, at times vomit while I'm on the toilet. So now it's gone from gagging after having a smoke, to all of a sudden when I'm on the toilet. It gets to the point where I'd have to cover my nose, so that I don't feel nauseous. But even when I do cover my nose, that feeling like something's stuck in my throats comes about and I end up spewing anyway. This got worse when I had the flu, and a bad cough. The feeling of being nauseous all of a sudden, when I'm on the toilet.... it's out of nowhere. Can someone help me identify what it is that I have? Or some sort of idea of what... my symptoms mean. I've tried to quit smoking and have cut down...it's just weird that I had it after I had a smoke (sometimes), but then it started becoming more frequent especially when I'd do number 2 (poop). It's like all of a sudden my throat has some sort of phlegm or something, it makes me gag/choke to the point that I spew. Sometimes when I spew I feel better but then certain smells, makes me gag again. I told my sister and she thinks I'm pregnant but I doubt that I am, my partner and I have been trying for months. Can someone help please?
