It could be the beginnings of asthma. My asthma was brought on by pollution. If you are always in contact of harsh cleaning agents that cause you to breathe in fumes, or you work in a place where people smoke.  If laughing or running causes you to have a coughing attack it could be asthma. If you have a cat and are allergic, that could also produce mucus. see doctor anyways. \n\nFor Coughs that Bring Up Mucus: \nDrink plenty of liquids, such as water, hot tea, and fruit juice. \n Use a cool-mist vaporizer in your room. \n Take a shower. The steam can thin mucus. \n Take an over-the-counter expectorant or cough medicine containing guaifenesin. \n Don’t smoke. Avoid secondhand smoke.

This is very common. It generally occurs because of an involuntary muscle spasm in your sleep. As a result you might have a minor inflamation in your neck. Your body's way of dealing with that is restricting your movement so you don't make it worse. Crazy no? The best thing you can do for yourself is put heat on it (they sell hating pads at most pharmacies). You should also move your head around slowly as far as you can without it hurting. This will speed your recovery time. You can also have someone give you a gentle massage to improve circulation. But above all, use heat. I would also use pain killers.

my tonsils got infected and the same thing happened to me, i didn't realize it was my throat though because it never hurt.or it could be reflux

Sounds like you are just coughing so long that you gag yourself into finally throwing up.\nMaybe you need an antibiotic or just cough syrup to get that mucus (phlegm) up.\nAcid Reflux is a good possibility as well. Throwing up daily is not a good sign. If the cough syrup (DM) doesn't work, make an appointment with a doctor.

See an ENT Dr. He/She can examine your throat and if the problem is beyond the Uvula, he/she can look with a light. It could be irritated from post nasal drip from your sinuses, or there could be a hidden growth of some sort. Need to check it out. Good Luck

It happens when you press the blood vessels and the blood supply is cut off momentarily. Better keep your hands free and do not put pressure on them by putting it under your head or keeping them hard pressed between your thights etc. More suggestions only if you can tell which way you sleep. \n\nIf it persists, consult a physician

I believe there are many conditions that can cause this, but you really should go see a doctor if you're suffering this.

What you are getting is a mucus discharge that is protecting the airway from drying out.  You definitely need to drink more water during and throughout the day.  Also cut back on some of the dairy products like yogurt, the spores in Yogurt tend to add to this mucus formation.\nBest of luck, oh one more thing do not be afraid to spit when you run or hack this up, it is okay to get rid of it your body will produce more.

It might be a blocked mucous duct. It is probably nothing but if it doesn't go away see someone about it, because it could be something more serious.

What kind of feeling is it in your throat when you say nagging? like a cough, biley hot feeling, tickle? thickness?  It could be alot of things.  Have you ever had your thyroid checked out with blood work?  I'm not a doctor but if I were you knowing what I do about different illnesses, I would ask for a complete bloodwork check to check out the thyroid, white counts, etc.  Also a sinus xray to see if there really is an infection.  The ear problems could be related to sinus but also you could have an inner or middle ear infection or just fluid in there that needs to be treated.  The lymph nodes are what take the gunk out of your body, they also send antibodies and antigens to fight off problems so it sounds like something might be draining into those nodes.  It could be related to your stomach problems if you had alot of acid reflux, because when you lay down at night, it would back up in the throat and the area between the throat and sinus.  You could have an infection there.  You need to be on a special diet for the bowel and stomach problems, has anyone helped you with that?  Sometimes they send people to dieticians, other times just tell you to watch what you eat.  You can find diet help here if you don't have info already:  http://www.helpforibs.com/diet/faq.asp#break_cycle\n\nDefinitely get back to the doctor or find a new dr that will run the tests you need to find out what is really wrong.

Sounds like TMJ.  You definately want to see a doctor about it.  He will most likely tell you to wear a mouth guard at night to prevent you from clenching your jaw while you are sleeping.

I quite often rest my head on my arms on the pillow when I sleep meaning that I get pins and needles in the middle of the night.  Its quite annoying really but its how I sleep!
