Well i had a endoscopy last friday on the 13.  the procedure took about 8 to 10 minutes.   they sprayed my throat to numb it and giving me a sedative to relax. i was awake the whole time didnt remember a thing i was like in a twilight state lol. but anyways the took some samples for a biopsy which is a routine thing. doctor told me my stomach and esophagus was inflamed this could be why i would get food particles stuck in the back of my throat and my doctor told me to drink 2 full glasses of room temperature water every morning is that suppose to help plus i have mucus not alot but i could manage plus he told me to chew my food slowly. i am taking Prilosec for my reflux.  i was taking Nexium but it was giving me headaches.  But whenever i have problems with my stomach it always affect my right side meaning my right abdomen i cannot explain why this happens, this was the second time this would happen. but when my burning sensation on my left side goes away the pain goes away on my right side.. could this somehow be connected. i had blood work done 6 months ago everything came back normal

  I hurt on my right side too.  Guess the stomach is actually on that side over part of the liver. Or it could be the duodenum that's right there.

I find that taking an Elderberry extract capsule stops that mucus in the morning.

Hope this helps.

Indigestion, GERD and reflux can make you feel like you can't take a deep breath.

Anything causing stomach problems will make you salivate too.  -  I have been taking Dexilant which is the next up from Nexium.  It works pretty well as a PPI.

Lately, however, I've been taking Betaine Hydrochloric acid with the first bite of my meal and am getting good results.   Go figure.  It stops the acid reflux and heart burn for me.

Hey, new to the forum. I have read all of te posts which were very informative. I would like to ask if anyone has experienced a feeling like you cannot take a complete breath, like something in your chest is telling you that you need more air so when you take a deep breath it just doesnt seem deep enough. My Dr thinks it is cardiac but so far everything came back neg. I googled not feeling like can take a full breath and one of the links was for LPR. I read about the signs and symptoms and everything fit perfect. Things I were fighting with and writing off to allergies such as constant ear infections, feeling of post nasal drip. Also i began to salivate tremendously, just non stop, like the feeling you get before you vomit. The biggest nuisance has been the breathing.
      Thanks for listening, hope to hear from yal.

It is acid reflux i got my results today from the biopsy report. i dont have a ulcer or H Pylori.  I do have Gastritis inflammation of the stomach and esophagus.

It all sounds like acid reflux.  Avoid coffee.  Consider taking Metamucil.  My boyfriend takes the capsule form and it forms a gel and holds the acid down for him.  He feels great.  Also he has to avoid dairy.  Mint tea may help you.
