I quit about 6 weeks ago, I have had shortness of breathe for years, I smoked for 30 years. Since quitting it feels like something is stuck in my throat. I try to cough and clear my throat but nothing comes up. I went to the doctor and he prescribed nasal spray saying it was post nasal drip. The spray didnt help. When I lay down with a pillow behind my head it seems worse. Last night I put the pillow under my shoulders and allowed my neck to stretch out and felt some relief. Should I be worried? Will this get better? Anyone else feel this? Thanks

Yes I thought I was going to choke to death, Fluticasone helps open nasal passages, and mucinex helps thin the mucus. Fluticasone is a steroid must take in the morning only needs time to flush with drinking fluids if not it will harden at back of throat.
Really, I tried the nasal spray the doctor gave me for 3 days and didnt seem to help, how long did this last for you. I'm ready to start smoking again to get rid of it
This is a common complaint that I’ve seen in smoking forums and experienced myself, it should go away fairly quickly. I didn’t use anything for mine.
