Hi i dont know where to ask this. Maybe someone here has an idea. Hi im Male /26yrs old/hypothyrodism taking levotyroxin 125mcg/no cough/can exercise normally and make full breaths. Right now travelling around the world. Have mild anxiety thats getting worse with this problem i have. About a month ago i started to get this feeling, that i got some phlegm stuck in my throat/left lung. Gargly feeling when i breath in. The feeling is still there daily. I dont have problems when working out or jogging. I am active daily. It stops when i sit down and when i go to sleep. It starts again when im in upright standing position or walking. It doesnt hurt or nothing. Its just this persisten feeling some fluid is foaming somewhere in my left lung or left side of throat. I cant even pinpoint location. Anybody has any ideas what i could do. I was thinking that maybe it could be GERD or something like that, since i can make full breaths and exercise.

Curious, Seronj4. If you suspect GERD, have you tried an anti-reflux medicine like Gaviscon or Rennies to see if that eases the problem?
Yes was taking gaviscon for some time. Didnt realy make a big diff. I was thinking maybe my body produces more phlegm to protect itself from acid
Another thing could be post nasal drip. When you swallow, are you able to pull phlegm down from the back of your nose? If that's the case, you may benefit from using salt solution to wash out your nostrils and sinuses.
Please note, I'm no doctor; I'm just telling you about some of the things I've done to help my breathing in the past.
Speak with your doctor or pharmasist, it doesn't sound like gerd, more like you have mucus stuck in your lung, perhaps something to losen it so you can cough it up. Irene x
