for the past two days ive noticed that if i have a snotty nose and try to "sniff" the mucus into my throat to swollow it, im unable to do so. I know you shouldnt do this in the first place i should be blowing it out of my nose.
anyways what happens is i can feel the mucus come from my nose and it gets stuck half way down my throat, instead of me being able to swollow it. when i try to swollow it the best i can it feels like its clogging my throat and nose. Its very uncomfortable and the only way to solve the problem is by coughing so i can spit the mucus.
I decided to blow my nose properly and it just seems to be a huge stream of clear mucus (or basically it looks like a lot of runny snot). at the moment i dont have a cold or a virus (not that i know of)
im curious to know if this could be a sinus problem. Mainly because every morning for a good few weeks now ive been having blood in my spit. Not coughing or vommiting just in my spit when i wake up. Im now thinking maybe this could be due to infected sinus's. Its very strange though - i have had some, but only slight pain just under my eyes and above my cheek bones recently, although its only happened twice.
Could be hayfever? Not uncommon for it to just appear even if you've never had it. My nose is really stuffy at the mo, the pollen count is high. Take some antihistamine and see if it makes a difference.
