Sinus drip but check with your doctor!

Thanks weird since I only happens post-op

Sinus drip but check with your doctor!

I've never heard of sinus drip

Sometimes the nose will run out the front, sometimes down the back of the throat. I've been having problems with sinus drainage too. Figure it is allergies.

I had the same thing happen. I woke up and was choking and then I threw up acid. I have never had this happen in my life. It was extremely scary as I felt like I could have choked in my sleep. I have very bad acid reflux and a twisted sleeve. My throat felt awful for two days. The dr gave me a stronger acid reducing medicine and it helped. I also sleep with my head up, never lay down after meals and sleep on my left side.

It's so scary I will try those tips thank you I had to spit up but it was phlegm

My first night post op I slept in a sitting position on the bed. I found it helped with the pain and the gas. It gets easier by the day.
