Mucus in Throat

Question

Mucus in Throat

Asked for Male, 21 Years

Abnormal amounts of mucus in my throat. Problem has existed for as long as I can remember. Usually cough up thick yellowy/green strands of it in the morning. During a cold I can sometimes cough up thick clumps of it, one-time brown, but that was a long time ago. During exercise, more is produced. Can give me trouble breathing while exercising. I have a history of asthma but has not affected me since I was 5. I do not take an inhaler.
