NON-STOP THROAT CLEARING

I was wondering if someone has any insight or comments. About 1 1/2 years ago I woke up coughing and gasping. This went on for about two hours. The next day I began to have terrible throat clearing. It always felt as if there were mucous in my throat, but I never coughes any up. I also noticed the symptoms would get worse after eating. I have pursued ENT doctors, gastroenterologists. I have had the ph bravo, the 24 hour double ph probe. Everything came back negative. ANd I still continue to clear my throat continuosuly and without stop. I have been on and off medication over the past year and a half and also have taken things like tagament, zantac, etc. My ENT has me on 40 mg of aciphex twice a day for the past month, but no results. I am going to visit the surgeon in another two weeks to see about having the nissen done, but with all my test results being negative, I am not sure what he can do. My quality of life has suffered greatly, nit to mention a constant stae of depression. Has anyone gone through the same thing. If so, let me know what you did and any results that you had. Many thanks to all. Sincerely, Barnett
