I've been dealing with this issue where I keep having this irritating feeling in my throat like there's mucus constantly forming there. I used to get this sensation maybe every 3 or 4 months, but for the past 6 months, it's been happening every single day and it's really affecting my life.

I drank water right before going to bed last night and didn't wait before sleeping. Could this lead to any issues like digestive problems? Or is it totally fine? Just want to make sure I'm not unknowingly doing something unhealthy.
