What Causes Excess Mucus In The Throat After Using Methamphetamine?

I have occasionally been on and off using meth for around 6 months or so and started noticing a few issues regarding my health... ill explain with brief details but I need to know if what i m going through is just temporary symptoms until i stop using? Is my body going through some sort of fazes s? and (if any) some recommendations on overcoming these symptoms so I can focus on getting my organs healed asap. Ok so one of my main issues is MUCUS, everyday i wake up and can feel a large amount of mucus built up in my throat, all throughout the day i have to be clearing out my throat because it just keeps accumulating, its vary pesky and bothers too much to ignore, and on top of that its vary difficult to spit out because its so sticky. Its usually a milky green color, other times it comes out clear, and sometimes its even joined by a bit of blood... which is strange because i hardly ever snort the stuff, I usually just smoke it so how is that? Another problem iv noticed is a slight pain in my chest like inside my lungs randomly being triggered and at times when i stretch or flex i get a sharp pain around my abs as well, also i get this random tingle pretty much anywhere on my body every so often whether i m moving around or just sitting or laying, i even get it on my face why is that? Also sometimes (not all the time) when i stand up after sitting for a good while ill feel light headed and its occasionally joined by some blurry vision lasting just a few seconds, another thing I cant explain to well is a feeling of chronic gas bubbles building up in my stomach, followed by digesting problems and even passing a bit more gas than usual even if i didn t eat anything all day... I also noticed that if i m going hard for like a day or two straight ill start going through a withdrawal if i don t take another hit before like 7 hours, I found this out after going hard for a day with no sleep, i had to go to work and before i left to work I still made sure I toke one last hit, around 7 hours into work (i m in fast food btw) I start feeling some nausea and fatigue, I ended up giving in and the whole night was throwing up every few minutes, even just swallowing my own saliva would make me puke... those are the main things i m dealing with if you know just what i m going through please point it out iv been taking it easy now but every now n then i get that dang craving again which does me no good in the end but it became a dang habit now, at the same time i m not trying to go to any rehab or anything like that I know it don t have me like that again please speak out if you have any tips i m not trying to rot to death. (Some background info) I just tuned 19, I weigh around 145 pounds, my height is 6,2, my body type is slime, and i have a fast metabolism. I tried meth back when i was 15 but it didn t really catch my attention in those days, I started going hard on it around november of 2016

Hello,

You can use mucolytics like NAC.

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
