I've been experiencing excessive thick bubbly mucous and saliva, choking on it if I don't spit it out, a strange taste in my mouth, bad breath, a white coated tongue, burning sensation, a fuzzy feeling extending down my throat, substances sticking to my tongue, daily vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss (52 pounds), sore taste buds, and swollen areas at the back of my tongue. I've lost my appetite and am not feeling sick, but I did take antibiotics a month ago for a possible sinus infection with no improvement. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am on Levothyroxine. I have been getting mixed information regarding eating or drinking dairy products. I've heard you only have to wait an hour after taking the medication to take dairy products but four hours to take calcium supplements. I have also heard that you have to wait four hours to ingest dairy products or calcium supplements. What is true?

I fear my thyroid is affecting my health, causing symptoms such as low blood pressure, dizziness, frequent heart arrhythmias, coldness, and a fear for my life. I haven’t had recent thyroid tests. Do I have time to wait for an appointment, or should I seek immediate medical attention?

What causes excessive saliva, and what can be done about it? I have excessive saliva but do not vomit. I saw a doctor today, but she did not address this problem. I am taking Tramadol HCL 50 mg for pain, Famotidine, and Carafate for an ulcer. I had knee replacement surgery on March 29th and have a slight case of vertigo.
