I know this isn't the most attractive topic, so I apologize in advance.
I wake up, and deep in my throat it's very congested and sticky. I have to spend 10 minutes trying to cough it out over the bathroom sink. It takes that long because the crap in there is SUPER sticky and hard to dislodge. It's not discolored as far as I can tell. Once I cough it out in the morning, that's it for the day. Doesn't come back until the next morning.
So yeah, this has happened practically every morning for the past 2-3 years... and like a fool, it just occurred to me that it might not be normal.
-- I don't smoke
-- I drink a normal amount of water, I think (3 to 5 bottles of water/day)
-- Generally healthy. 6'2" 250. No medications.
My girlfriend thinks it's because I almost always end up tossing my pillow out from under my head at some point in the night, so I'm having drainage issues. Maybe I'll try strapping my pillow to my head tonight.
