Hi,
Thanks for posting the query.
As per your history there is a high likelihood of you suffering from GERD (Gastro esophageal reflux disease). Since your CAT (Computerized Tomography) scan is normal there is no involvement of any serious pathology at present. Also regular spitting of mucus is seen in GERD.
Rather than plain anti-vomiting medications you should take a combination of proton pump inhibitor + anti vomiting agents.
Also take small frequent non spicy meals, do not stay hungry for longer duration. Avoid outside junk foods.
If symptoms are not controlled on medicines and healthy eating habits then you should see a gastroenterologist who might advise you for an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
