Does anyone have problems with throat closing up while sleeping?

It might be a good idea to ask your doctor to test you for sleep apnea and hypopnea as I think it is common in asthmatics. The apnea can be treated with cpap machine etc. but no help for hypopnea that I know of. I keep a glass of water next to my bed and use my emergency inhalers as needed but definitely tell your doctor what you’re going through and ask the best approach for you. Good luck.

Thank you. I had severe Sleep apnoea diagnosed last year and had a dental splint made which I used for a while...am now back to using in case the Sleep apnoea is combining with thicker phlegm (with the Symbicort). I think this may be the problem.
I must follow up on the hypopnea ... presumably that information should have come from the Sleep study. 🙏
