Have Asthma, Phlegm In Throat, Brownish Tar Like Spots. Cannabis Smoker. Heart And Lungs Tested. Taking Corticosteroids. What Is It?
I constantly have phleghm stuck in My throat , I do not cough that often but I can usually "hack up" some clear phleghm with brownish/tar like spots. when i try to clear my throat of the phleghm i used to smoke a lot of cannabis but now I barely smoke anymore. This has been going on for like 6 months as of late I get some kind of burning sensation in my ribs, usually the lowest one on the right side. i went to a Heath Clinic where they basically just listened to my heart and lungs which they Said sounded allright. And sent me on my way. I take corticosteroids for my asthma, I would be thabkful for some help
