What Causes Dry Throat, Fatigue And Chest Pain?

Hello. I m a 20 year old male. I m 170 lbs. For the last three years since high school, I have been suffering from a laundry list of symptoms: Dry mouth and throat, feeling of inhaling my mucus/saliva and inhaling food when I eat, continually clearing my throat and coughing, I have a terrible blanket of fatigue that doesn t go away no matter how much sleep I get, dull chest pains in the morning that go away after a few hours, build up of mucus in the morning that I have to hack out daily, no exception whatsoever, and nasal stuffiness. My symptoms actually match all of the symptoms I ve read of laryngopharyngeal reflux perfectly, yet the pH test I had done 6 months ago showed normal results. By the way, I was bulimic for three years in high school, and smoked cigarettes and marijuana in high school on a recreational basis. What can this be, if not reflux? Sinuses appear normal in x-rays, and so does my chest x-ray.

Hi
As you said, you have both GERD and sinus problems. even though you have to do a complete blood test again especially your thyroid function test. fatigue may be due to thyroid pathology.
and now take proton pump inhibitors like rabiprazole daily in morning in empty stomach.
Take Antihistamines like Fexofenadine with montelukast and also tablet mucolite.
you will be free of symptoms soon.
wish you a speedy recovery . thank you .
