Have to constantly clear my throat
I always have to constantly clear my throat or else I can't speak as there seems to be mucus present always. I'm not sure what is causing this mucus but because of this, I am not able to speak properly also I feel anxious of that. Could this be due to obesity (I am obese). I have had thyroid problem (hypothyroidism) since puberty, I currently take 100 mcg thyrox tablet.
