I first felt symptoms in November 2017. I started waking up at about 2-3am in the morning with an uncomfortable throat. It was difficult to swallow and it felt like a lump in my throat.. It is difficult to relate how uncomfortable my throat felt as it was something that I had never been through before. I also had a gurgling sound in my throat.
I had to get up out of bed and my throat would hurt and I would feel spit (non coloured mucous) in my mouth.. it felt really awful to I would need to rush to the bathroom to spit it out.
The pain in my throat was really painful before the mucous.. I would sit up in the early hours of the morning and watch tv.. feeling absolutely miserable and would see the dawn on the 2-3 days that I got this at night.
What was strange was this started a pattern of suffering for 2-3 days every week.. It would give me a few good days before my throat would feel uncomfortable again.
I went to the doctor and I was prescribed Omeprazole and referred to Several blood tests. Mostly general health blood tests but I had a CBC and various renal tests etc.. and found I had slightly elevated eosinophils.
