Ok, bear with me, some of the details are a tiny bit gross, but nothing PH cant handle.

I've always had a bit of a problem after sleeping at night, with all that yellow crap at the back of my throat and up my nose. Never thought too much of it until now.

I moved house a couple of months ago, and since moving it's been horrible. Yesterday i had a nosebleed as soon as i woke up, and the day before i coughed up a solid lump of brown/yellow st which was about the size of a 5p!

Any ideas what might cause this? Im using the same bed and sheets as i did in my old house. In my old house i had the problem for a while but then it subsided somewhat but now its come back. I thought about pollen but we're a bit late in the year for that now. My old house had wooden floors wheras this new one has carpet. Could that be the problem? Maybe, but then its not like im sleeping on the floor or rolling around on the carpet.

I've had this issue on and off for a good couple of years now, so doubt it's any form of infection or anything i need medication for.

Anyone got any suggestions?

No suggestions but I have the same thing (on a less gross scale) after moving two weeks ago. My new place has wooden floors. Think for me it might be the weather getting colder, but that probably doesn't add up for you since you moved two months ago.

Tonsil stones? Don't google images after a recent meal. You have been warned.
