Does anyone have problems with throat closing up while sleeping?
I have asthma and Bronchiestases with the asthma being silent for many years. Recently the asthma has made itself noticeable with breathing problems especially during the night. I am taking Symbicort but am still waking breathless often during the night with the feeling that my throat is closed up, sometimes clogged with mucus.
I am wondering if all the years of not treating silent asthma has led to more mucus membrane and narrowing of the airways.
Also concerned all the coughing and throat clearing has damaged my throat.
Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

Have you had a sleep study done? In my case I am imagining it was caused as my airways collapsed due to sleep apnoea.
The mucus is probably asthma/bronchiestases.
I hope you can find a solution. I am still waiting on a specialist appointment.

2 ReactionsI have had to take my own doctoring into my own hands. I had to find out what causes my breathing problems. Sore throat, not being able to breath and gasping for air. I have found that it is the air around me, that is making me sick. All the chemicals that are being pumped into the air either from stores I shop in or the chemically laden products that carry the FOREVER CHEMICALS, having people around me that wash their cloths in chemically scented detergent. All those things, like scents in laundry detergent, dryer sheets, or dryer products, perfume, cologne, hand lotion, shampoo hair cream, and the list goes on. I have to use FREE AND CLEAR products. Not unscented products because that means they are made the same but one more chemical was added to remove the scent.
