Ok I'm trying not to panic on this and just wanted to get some opinions if possible.
I snore quite badly at night, never used to but I am overweight which I am slowly losing through weight watchers and I also have hayfever/allergies so suffer from sniffles and post nasal drip etc quite frequently
A couple of a weeks ago I woke up and it literally felt like I'd swallowed a fly or something as I was coughing when I woke and it was a real tickly cough on one side of my throat. I had a drink and went back to sleep.
Then last night exactly the same thing happened. Now over the last couple of weeks I have had a bit of a cold and been sneezing producing more mucus than usual but I stupidly googled it and Sleep Apnea came up.
I didn't have a panicky feeling which it says you normally get with Sleep Apnea and it definately feels like my throat has dried out (I'm obviously sleeping with my mouth open) and as I inhale it causes a tickle and makes me cough but just wondered if anyone had any experience of sleep apnea?
I don't have a racing heart or anything like that it is just literally like something tickles my throat which makes me cough and when I wake my throat is just really tickly and dry and I have to cough a couple of times and have a drink to sort it out.
Sorry post is a bit rambly just wanted to try and get some opinions.
thanks
