Laryngospasm

[Rhinestone]

I have had asthma for 30 years no problems. Since having covid in Sept then a bad cold and have been coughing sputum up regularly. I was checking my peak flow which was normal for me, using my blue inhaler, which I don't normally have to use and finally went doctors and was given antibiotics, after a second course at Christmas and continuing to cough I started getting a lot of clear sputen. I now have a hoarse voice and wake up choking and can't get my breath, very scary . I have an appointment at the hospital on the 24th for a camera exam of my throat , I was thinking Nasal drip could be causing it.my doctor didn't have a clue as all stats are normal

Do u get sputum up whn wake like that? Could be lodged in throat blocking larynx

[Rhinestone in reply to Patk1]

Yes think the coughing to get it up starts it off. I have now got a wedge pillow on the bed , seemed to help last night

[Patk1 in reply to Rhinestone]

Gd.best to sleep propped up.i wake like that if mucous has come up frm lungs and blocked larynx x

Thank you. I am on Lansoparol as I have had my gall bladder out and i also have ceoliac disease so already have to watch what I eat.

I moved to Pantaprozole on the advice of the hospital as its more effective - have also had met gall bladder removed and a small hiatus hernia
