Plz help with swallowing problem
Hello. I have a problem empty swallowing. I feel a fullness in the throat and have to swallow frequently. But when I empty swallow, it feels as if saliva hit against something as if the swallow was incomplete, as if saliva is stuck in the throat. If I continue to empty swallow, then it will feel like I am choking. Therefore, I always have to be drinking water or eating something in order to facilitate swallowing.I also sometimes feel mucus in posterior nares. Sometimes posterior nares feel dry. Sometimes I feel a plug in the throat. Sometimes feels as if mucus membranes in throat and nose are inflamed (coryza). Sometimes feel blockage between throat and nose (posterior nares). Sometimes tonsils feel enlarged. Sometimes swallowing gets better if I get a productive cough which loosens mucus from the bronchi.
I used to feel that solid foods were getting stuck in the throat. But now I feel as if liquids and saliva are stuck in the throat.
I do not think that there is anything wrong with my sinuses. I think this is a stomach acid problem, where the acid refluxes up into the throat and causes mucus. I have tried the common anti-acid and sinus remedies, such as hydr, kali bi, nat phos . I am wondering if anyone can please suggest a remedy just based on my swallowing symptoms? Thank you very much for your help.

Dear Dr. Deoshok, Thank you for your reply. I have tried Phos in 30C and LM in the past. Could you suggest another option please?
I dont know if my swallowing problem can be treated as a separate layer, or if it has to be part of the greater whole?
Just in case more info is needed:
I am a petite woman with very thin brown hair and hazel eyes.
Emotions:
Im fearful, bashful, care what everyone thinks about me. Anxious. Become embarrassed easily. I feel that no one understands me. Sensitive. Impulsive. Change my mind frequently. Difficulty making decisions. Restless. Lose interest after acquire (capricious). I doubt my feelings. Ive dreamt of accomplishing lots of things, but feel like various problems always prevented it. When Im panicked, I become quiet, detached, isolated. But when Im happy, then Im playful and outgoing.
Very sensitive about appearance. I have oily skin; Acne; Cysts; Red marks left over from breakouts. I hide under makeup all the time.
I fear rejection and abandonment. Fear making a fool of myself. I fear having no way out. Fear intrusions into body (like instruments, medicines, etc). Fear the unknown.
Usually around people, Im complacent, agreeable, desire to please. I usually have trouble taking a strong stance and being genuinely confident around people. Feel inadequately qualified. Im sensitive to criticism, to when people put others down. My body trembles after confrontations and from fear.
But with people Im close with, I feel confident, strong, outgoing; can get irritable, frustrated.
Used to suffer from panic attacks. Feared making a fool of myself in public. (Calc?) A feeling of nausea makes me panic.
Used to feel very depressed as a teen. Probably hormonal.
Feel a sense of expansion when looking into black space. (plat?)
Sensitive to music.
Sometimes laugh inappropriately. Cry only when too much overwhelmed.
Parents:
My father is weak, bashful, fearful of people. Sensitive about appearance.
My mother has a personality disorder. One minute she may love you, the next minute she hates you. She is very controlling. Does not validate peoples feelings. Has black and white thinking. Doesnt understand others; egocentric. She acts psychotic when she is abandoned. Has hyperthyroidism, cauliflower warts. Everyone in the family fears her.
Other physical symptoms:
Voice sounds childish.
Very bad teeth. They decay and hurt.
Throat cracks when I yawn too wide.
If theres mucus in the nose, I can feel it flowing onto the side that Im laying on. And sometime can feel ear wax flowing, too. Nose sometimes feels like it unclogs when I walk up the stairs.
Microscopic levels of blood found in my urine.
Sometimes sneeze in the sunlight (after coming out of a dim home). (sang, phos, natm, merc )
Dysmenorrheal. Lots of cramps first day or two. Some clots and dark blood. Irregular, late. Heavy.
Had frequent ear infections as a child.
Generals: hands and feet are usually cold. Like sweets, chocolate, spicy, flavored foods. Dont like bitter foods. I like hot showers.
Diarrhea from anticipation (gels, arg nit)
If dont sleep enough, then get very sensitive gag reflux.
Feel anxiety in the stomach.
Sometimes cracks in corners of mouth.
Dark under eye circles.
Im sensitive to remedies and medicines.
