Suggest Treatment For Throat Irritation

I am 49 year old female, obese, ht: 5 51/2 , weight 94 KG. Exercise regularly for 6 days a week. (Climb stairs- 20 steps; about 60-75 times alternate days, cardio and weights on alternate days) Not loosing weight for more than 4 years now. I have been snoring for past may be 25 years, but not had episodes of sleep apnea. For past 2-3 years, I have occasionally felt that I have got up in the middle of sleep. This may be once or twice in a year. I have never consulted a sleep specialist, as I am always embarrassed with snoring. I have undergone surgery for deviated nasal septum 24 years ago. My nose and throat seem to be dry most often and I constantly use saline nasal spray. I undergo annual checks and my fasting blood sugar is 87mg, my cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, LFT, RFT, ECG are normal. I keep adjusting my throat because of irritation due to dryness.

Hi

Throat irritation and continuous throat clearing could be due to post nasal drip. Consult ENT surgeon for any sinus involvement. If its normal this could be just a normal habit of yours which can be Conciously avoided. Just relax and do not worry about it much.

Do let me know for any additional information anytime.

Take care
