Thick Mucus in my throat

I have always experience a blockadge in my throat and frequently try to clear it with a coughing method but it seems to be free just for a few minutes. This cause nihgt sleep restless as i have to wake up and cough it out. I create much noise especially during meeting session clearing my throat and it is annoying as someone always stare at me when ever i make a noise. What is the cause and how to deal with it?

Warm salt water,  cup your hand snuff in up your nose, gargle with it works great.

1 tsp sea salt
8 oz warm water
pinch of baking soda

You could be experiencing asthma, also you have described symptoms of a common throat problem, some people develop small to large lumps in the throat as they get older.... and many can develop asthma even if symptoms are mild. I would guess asthma but be sure to talk to the doc.
