My first suspicion would be increased mucous production due to reflux.
A GI consult/evaluation for reflux would be the first suspect, as well
as looking at any medications that can dry.

I've had several referrals for pts with vague complaints of swallowing
problems due to increased phlegm. No other hx that would indicate
swallowing problems. Does anyone have any ideas on where this "mystery
phlegm" is coming from and why it would be causing swallowing
difficulties. Could it be related to GERD?
