Since i was little i've always been clearing my throat A LOT. I never thought much about it because i am allergic to a lot of things, and i recall that i started doing that after a particularly bad cold.
Nowadays, i am worried that it might actually be LPR or something worse. I do have reflux ocassionally, but it's always when i am really anxious, i can eat anything and i never fear that it might cause any burning or discomfort. I've had bad episodes but they were almost certainly caused by overeating.
I also don't drink or smoke, i stopped drinking carbonated and sugary drinks and although my diet is not the best, i try not to eat much junk.
What worries me is that if it is lpr or reflux, what if i have damage to my esophagus or larynx? I have been feeling my throat a little sore but i was in finals and inside air conditioned buildings, and the air was pretty dry plus tons of abrupt temperature changes.
Does this sound like lpr/reflux, or is it more probable that it's related to my allergies? (i am allergic to almost everything in the city where i live) I've had several blood tests (even a lupus scare, thankfully everything came clear) and i've been to the doctor for different things, and no one has ever mentioned my throat looking sore/red/damaged...
I would really appreciate your input, i have been freaking out about this for many weeks...
