Absolutely - get a CT as soon as possible. Most likely nothing, but even if it is, sooner is definitely better. X

Thanks for the advice, will do asap. Is this a common story?

Smfj,

I'd press for a chest CT. It could be nothing but chronic sinusitis but the extent of the symptom is concerning. 

Stay the course.

Thanks Tom

That is what I find strange, that I don’t have any nasal or sinus symptoms, despite the doctors treating it like the cause. They haven’t taken it seriously because I haven’t been coughing, just clearing phlegm. I will press for the scan. 
Thanks again,
Sue

I’ve had two clear chest X-rays in the past few years for phlegm that builds up in my throat. Very little coughing, but clearing my throat often. I’ll especially lose my voice while talking until I clear it. I’ve been prescribed various things including neti pot rinses, antacids and  nasal steroids. It has progressed and now the phlegm is persistent all day. A chest CT has now been suggested. Has anyone had these symptoms?
