Post-nasal Drip

COPD

 I'm 59 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 59 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of total cure herbal foundation my husband bought, totalcureherbsfoundation .c om has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and cure you totally with their natural organic herbs,it class products at affordable prices because how awful it is with this lung dictions .

Misdiagnosed

I was misdiagnosed as having asthma for 16 years. I went to the emergency room for a so-called asthma attack any pediatrician heard me coughing and took me in to examine me. He treated me and then told me that I did not have asthma. He sent me to a pulmonologist who did every test in the world and agreed that I did not have asthma I have what is called vocal cord dysfunction. And it is caused by post nasal drip.
I went on an illumination diet and have felt much better for years to come. Three months ago I went to visit some family up north and I started eating everything in anything. Upon returning home I contracted a upper respiratory infection. After my URI I continue to have a cough and severe post nasal drip. My coworker still think I’m sick because my constant coughing and I have Difficulty sleeping at night Yet, I have not gone back on my illumination diet, due to the holiday season. I truly believe that my post nasal drip is caused by wheat, sugars and processed foods.
Treating the symptoms with medications is not the answer. It’s time to go back on a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet .

8 weeks with PND

I want to thanks Niki "8 months with drip :(", who mentioned she had tried Oil of Oregano" and it was a god send,. I have not had my PND as long as her, but I am fed up with this and want it gone. I will be going to bu Oil of oregano today, and start using it right away.

I hope this remedie has helped you and that your PND is gone for good.

Thanks again, I will post my results after a week, or sooner if there are any. Wish me luck xo

I am 54 years old and I was told I had COPD 7 years ago. I immediately quit smoking, but as the years pass by my condition got significantly worse, and I started having serious attacks. I used to be able to exercise, but it became so hard because I`m constantly out of breath. My pulmonologist started me on oral steroids to help control symptoms and minimize further damage but my symptoms never stopped getting worse. In January this year, my pulmonologist and I decided to go with natural treatment and was introduced to NewLife Herbal Clinic natural organic COPD Herbal formula, i had a total decline of symptoms with this COPD Herbal formula treatment. The infections, shortness of breath, fatigue, dry cough and other symptoms has subsided.

I have had great improvement with my over all respiration with this product and i breath very much easier, i can never be thankful enough to nature

8 months with drip :(

I will try and keep this short. I had a really bad dry cough for a few months before it turned to wet cough which couple months from there turned into wheezing as well. Went to dr because i thought i had asthma, went for PFT and methacholine test. All came back with no real indication i had any problems with my lungs. I read ALOT because countless visits to the dr was just useless. this affected my daily activity of going to the gym, even going up a flight of stairs i was out of breath. After lots of reading i was determined it was post nasal drip as i did develop fluid in the back of my throat. Tried some nose sprays and neti pot. Recently started using OREGANO OIL and that is a god send. Infinitely better! i can work out again, literally on a high I feel so good. Cant believe this stuff actually works, been a week and still will take it a bit longer since ive had this for 8 months now just until I fully heal up!

My tonsil very bad

Thank god i change my eating. Habits no sugar no dairy.no docter could help me thanks for the internet Happy.

My problem started after a simple cold. I had no issues at all, then after the cold, constant drainage, snorting, and clearing my throat and I've had it ever since, probably going on a year now. Same story here with the ENT, I was put on reflux meds, and allergy meds, nothing works. How does one instantly get allergies and reflux after a mild cold?

My nose is not clogged, it is totally clear. The drainage comes from the BACK and runs down my throat. I'm not sleeping, I'm annoying others, it's frustrating. Every doctor is the same too, they just want to stuff you full of pills. I'm going to try drinking lemon water and I do have a neti pot. I guess I need to try eliminating dairy and sugar too.

Try Seagate Olive Llrichard alleb millereaf Nasal Spray

After years, started using Seagate Olive Leaf Nasal Spray. Manages my PND and cured my son's polyp problems without surgery. I think the common factor is fungus.

effort by me

No doc i have been to has figured it out. I have to read all food labels and not buy or eat anything with suger in it period. Any at all and mucus grows abuntly and I suffer. Thought it started from a yiest infection my lady friend had. Would like it to end . Any ideas Why did it start?

For 3 years suffered PND. Lack of sleep due to this and sometimes panicky when struggling to breath so wish it could be solved. Have been on a series of drugs for GERD,COPD and PND with no improvement. Now ENT suggest an operation to cut away bent cartilage behind the nose. Have lost confidence in specialists as they seem to promise much but contradict each other.One says GERD for example and another not GERD. I am strugling with next stage of an operation as not guaranteed success and with some risks.

I agree with rolon4ever's post above. For me and my two years of PND the culprit turned out to be sugar, sugar, sugar! After many trips to ent, alergy testing, every otc treatment known to man, nasal steroids, saline rinses yada yada yada. After a very long trial and error diet elimination, I discovered that sugar was the main caues of my PND. Sometimes I slip up and consume something with a moderate amount of sugar in it and pay the price for hours if not days. CUT OUT THE SUGAR IN ALL FORMS. Give it a try, hopefully this helps someone else.

l have suffering from heartburn for almost a year, l've visted doctors several times but no recovery

My mother has suffered with many of these symptoms, but especially a horrible chronic cough, for many years. She had been to numerous doctors and taken many different medications,but nothing helped. Finally she went to a pulmonologist who discovered she had COPD. She is taking something new called Breo and it seems to have made a huge difference! If some if you also have a chronic cough, I would ask about COPD.

For the past 6 months are found myself coughing, tickling in the throat,chronic Throat Clearing and I have been in the Dr's office for more that three times in this 6 months and all the prescribed medication did not work. Yesterday I took 4 of my last SINUCON tables, I had to buy another box of the tablets because I feel sooo much better. Thanx to SINUCOM ITS WORKING FOR ME.

I've had post nasal drainage for 8 years. It is rough and embarrasing. I had elimanted the problem once after going to several doctors which never helped. What i did was change my diet. I drank plenty water, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. The water can either be room temperature or warm u can add apple cider or lime to the water. Elimate all cold items,no diary,no sugar no nuts and be careful of soy products. The symptoms are back and i have not integrated the above foods but perhaps the bread butter and the cold autum air is affecting it since i am no longer in the tropics.

Ugh

Interesting reading all these comments. I suffer from PND in the morning, pretty well every morning, and have for years and years. Some days it makes me gag. Some days the gag is so hard that I vomit, luckily that doesn't happen often makes for a rough morning on my way to work.

What I find helps at least in the short term is leaning forward and blowing my nose in the mornings - a lot - and drinking lots of hot drinks. Coffee, tea, herb tea, whatever as long as it's a hot drink. Sucks in the summer though because in the hot summer downing like 5-6 cups of piping hot coffee isnt exactly what I am craving.

Interesting seeing what has helped other people, because none of those things really should apply to me. I eat very little dairy, only the cream in my coffee and I dont add cream to my tea. I only occasionally eat cereal or ice cream and drink milk only once in a blue moon. Ditto on white flour; I'll eat a sandwich on homemade bread at work or a burger - none of this seems to make the PND better or worse.

Personally I think it's maybe a combination of my hard core snoring and occasional sleep apnea, cigarettes and maybe alcohol consumption (in aggravating the snoring and apnea) although I went to rehab for a week and was bone dry for a month and the PND persisted pretty consistently, and I drink nothing like I used to before rehab and it's by and large the same. I avoid processed foods because I used to be a chef and I have a sulfite sensitivity (plus I can certainly make it taste better with ease). I rarely use any OTC or prescription meds other than an antibiotic when I have an ear infection; even with a bad headache or fever I dont touch them unless absolutely necessary.

Wish I could figure this out. Seems to go away after I've been 2-3 hours out of bed. Just a few days ago I was out of toilet paper first thing in the morning and because I couldn't blow my nose I puked up all my coffee. Ugh.

Well guys, I gave similar symptoms and I can probably get most of you out of your cycle of suffering, here's the thing, your doctor has neither the time nor inclination to follow you around for2days to catch the vector causing the issue, you will end up with low powered antihistamines (usually pointless), steroids-which are a chronic risk to use, much less depend on if they even work as they deplete your capacity to deflect even more serious causes that are infections
or much much worse, I have a knack for solving these problems due to a potent knowledge of causes and combinations of causes that the sufferer will either not suspect Or not notice, we go down a "logic chart" that determines if there is a specific location involved (home or work usually) this requires tracking of a lot of data as the vector may be carried or remain potent well after exposure,there are several steps, and a good many ways to fight environmental challenges we utilize to help, I am willing to take on 2 of you at a time, sensitivities must be known as is occupation, locations of activity and other pertinent data Generally those we follow will have greater than a 90+% shot at ending or greatly improving their situation,if the individual has a reaction in the home we will require access to test for the obvious, if the very thought of going to ones vocation causes anxiousness then the sufferers place of work may be examined.I am not a doctor, we are intelligent observers who do what the sufferer generally cannot, consider the actual cause and separate it from the list of harmless issues, we are through and very objective
a serious analysis done by the right observer will find the cause, patience, concern and determination combined with a solid understanding of the home, workplace, local environment, dietary and other habits will solve the problem, if not then our system could be the help you need, we are intelligent builders who are trying to make life more comfortable for those who are suffering, there are short term solutions to bring relief and other changes to one's habitat that are more expanice and through email at [email protected]

I've had PND for years - the culprit for me is food allergies - I took a RAST test and I have a lot of different food allergies including corn and soy which is hard to eliminate because it's in a lot of products including vitamins. Last week, I went to a restaurant and ordered something that had corn in it and this week I have PND again and am treating it with Neil Med sinus rinse, Claritin reditabs, and guaifenesen.

Mrs

I have had pnd for 8years have Hayfever in summer I have used silver solusen and cider apple vinegar had it to water do a gargoyle bend over bucket bowl put tonge on roof of mouth the wait the stuff what comes up I have been doing this for a week and it is helping

I must say I'm relieved to know this isn't some rarity. I was told I had PND about 5 years ago. - after a severe cold I developed it. However, it went away and only came on here and there over the last few years. This year however, it's been non stop 24/7 since May. It's so tiresome and exhausting. Ive done the neti-pot, fluctonase spray, claritin, etc. I'm going to try the altering of my diet as per above with zero cheese, and cutting of diary in general to see if it helps. I already only drink water so juices or soda has never been a problem. thanks everyone for sharing thier experiences

Toulula

Ihave tried colloidal silver solution antibacterial anti fungal antiviral spray in nose twice a day then gargle with organic cider vinegar the mucus sticks to the vinegar bend over put tongue on the roof of moth for 3mins and the mucus will come up I have been doing it for a week and it's working look on amazen for silver and you can get vinegar fro morrisons best of luck

ENT problm

i have ent for a year now i have problems in breathing,i dont know what to do.

post nasal drip

My post nasal drip systoms started when I took some zzz quill causing dry mouth and throat making my mucous to get thick I had it for 6 weeks now I wish It could just please go away please could anyone help me with this problem

I have had a problem with to much mucos for about six weeks, it is terrible, l feel like im drowning in it. Went to dr, they gave me inhalers,antiboicts, mucnix, nothing has helped.i have read everthingh on internet, so far have found nothing that helps.i am praying for a some relief.

I have had post nasal drip for a very long time (years). I tried everything to get rid of it, but nothing worked. Then about a week ago the central heating system in my house stopped working. I didn't make the connection right away, but my post nasal drip is gone, and this must be the reason. I also googled central heating and post nasal drip, and read that the heating can cause it, especially if the filter is not changed monthly. I still can't believe that the heating caused me to suffer from this for years, especially after having been to 2 ENT doctors who were of no help.

Fed up with Bad breath

I have had this for over 10 years and i am still struggling with it,after a lot of research over the Internet i found(but not sure)PND might be the reason,i am having thick saliva producing from the uvula,and white tongue even after scraping it came back within 2 hours.but there is no sore throat,and i didn't feel any discomfort on throat.

I've had problems clearing my throat for as long as I can remember. Been to hospital after hospital still no help . they haven't checked me for any kind of allergies . its embarrassing to even go out in public . and I've cleared my throat so much over the years that I'm having trouble swallowing . then I panic thinking something bad is wrong like throat cancer . I can't afford to go to the ent . I really truly don't know what to do . my throat feels as if someone's squeezing it .

I have read all these comments and it is helping, I have suffered from what the doctors are saying is PND for a few months at a time every year for the past 5 or so years. This year is has started in the hotter dryer season. I have had allergy tests, come back fine, asthma tests, come back fine. I have tried Nasonex and bisolven chesty tablets, seem to help a bit, as I had a bad choking cough most mornings, now it is more a niggling cough. The mucous is still there in my chest and I feel it moreso when I'm around airconditioning, like on a bus, in a car, in a shopping centre etc. I am constantly clearing my throat, people look at me like there is something wrong with me. I just stare at them back until they look away. I can't keep having cough lollies every morning. I will try to eliminate all dairy for a while and see how that goes, no more coffee, and won't drik soft drinks or juice. Just water. I will try that warm water and salt gargle too and see how that goes. I read about another reflyx condition that isn't GERD, that may also be causing this for many people Larynsophagael Reflux disease?? I think it is, and causes no heart burn, so many people think they don't have reflux as many doctors say to you as they have done to me, do you have heartburn? I say no, so they immediately rule that out. But the doctors should know better than in some of these cases no heartburn is present. read up on this and change diet a bit and see how you go. I have an ENT appointment, had to wait months for it, so been struggling with this in the meantime. I don't want to keep using tablets and sprays either as may not be so good. It is very delibilating and makes you feel tired. I also work answering the phone most of the day, so even more a struggle. Very frustrating all around, and I want it gone for good!!!!!!

heartburn

I went to the doctors and I do have a sinus infection and deff have PND. I never get heartburn and now I have it. Why? Is this caused by the PND? Anything I can do to help?

I had battled with PND for years, and finally discovered that the main culprit was GERD, and ever since I made some lifestyle changes, like eating smaller meals, and elevating my head when sleeping. I have also cut way back on diary, and even though I have tried different diary alternatives,eg, goat milk products, I am definitely going to be eliminating diary completely because I notice that it really does increase the mucus, and triggers the symptoms, including sour breath. I steer clear of processed foods, and alcohol,and sweetners, which is hard, but has a huge impact. My frustration is that after years of going to doctors,including ENTs, and undergoing sinus surgeries, I discovered that GERD caused mainly by diet, contributed greatly to the PND, throat,and ear irritations. It is definitely worthwhile to experiment with dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments before subjecting your health to a lifetime of medications that can matters worse, and have many negative side effects.
The neti pot is amazing and the best natural way of irrigating the sinus cavities, and keeping the mucus clear. Raw cider vinegar is very helpful for the GERD, and can be taken in water to alleviate acid indigestion. Even though it is an acid, it does help, and I use it on salads with olive oil.
It definitely is a case of trial and elimination, but I would agree that the more wholesome your diet becomes,the better your health will be.

Finally feeling better!

I had a terrible cough for 12 months. It seemed no matter what, I just couldn't shake it. I saw my general practitioner who gave me cough syrup with codeine which didn't help much. I needed to have my gallbladder removed and it was the surgeon who really took notice of my cough. He said it wasn't ok to have that bad of a cough for that long, and he didn't want to do surgery until it was cleared up. He referred me to a pulmonologist who did several lung function tests. Asthma was ruled out and after my second Z-pack, and inhaler, 2 daily nasal sprays and a dose of prednisone I was able to have my surgery. The cough returned a couple weeks later though. I was told it was most likely post nasal drip or acid reflux. I was referred to an allergist but it turned out I had minimal allergies. Next I was sent to an ENT who owed a CT scan of my sinuses. Then something miraculous happened. After a year of suffering, trying every medication and home remdedy imaginable and seeing several specialists, it just went away. I made one small change. I had begun a diet and cut out all dairy. After 2-3 weeks my cough disappeared. My acid reflux also disappeared ( I was on Prilosec in the morning and Zantac in the evening) I was able to stop taking my daily allergy pill too. I was able to consume dairy again regularly (thank goodness) within a month without any problems, but if I ever find myself with a lingering cough that I so often had for months on end after a virus.. I will cut out dairy again until it's gone. I would recommend this to anyone with a lingering cough who feels they have tried everything else.

The waste deasis ever

I'm 58 and had pnd as long as I can remember. In the past 2 years I cut out dairy and processed breads and feel much better. I replaced milk in my oatmeal with almond milk and have no pnd. It takes about 4-6 weeks to notice a difference. Now I eat fresh breads and dairy every now and then. It's all about moderation and noticing what triggers the pnd. Trying to ignore symptoms is not an option.

PND

I was suffering from PND and I was coughing due to drip. I consulted homeopathatic doctor and within ten days my symptoms disappeared.

Putting a little vinegar in some warm water, gargling, then swallowing a little of it and/or spitting rest (or all) of it out, cuts through the stuff in your throat. This is especially helpful if the PND is causing nausea and/or gagging/heaving. GERD sufferers do not overdo this as vinegar is highly acidic and could potentially aggravate GERD.
