Right so I have just woke up im still coughing ad have been for the past 10 minutes my throat now feels it's closing up and tight ! I was drifting off to sleep when I awoke coughing with a deep tickle in my throat this happened a couple times over the past month but I've had a drink and it's still not clearing it my throat /side of throat feels it's closing I don't know if this is anxiety or now but now my heart is racing because I'm freaking out how can I be going to sleep and just wake up choking ?? And now it's been nearly 15 minutes and I still feel as if I'm choking and my throat is closing
You need to calm yourself down take deep breaths through your mouth and out through your nose keep doing that till you feel your heart rate slows down and keep drinking water small amounts that might help you. If you feel you can't control it still after a bit call the open hours GP see what they recommend for you but you really need to calm your body and mind down hope this helps
The harder you fight this the worse it gets , you need to try to relax and let it run it's course and don't try to take your mind off of it. Believe me I know ,I am 67 yrs old and I had this since I was a teen and it's only now do I have some idea how to ease it off.
My throat is still quiet tickly I am doing deep breathing breathing now although I feel I can't get a full breathe in .
I feel like a cotton will ball or something is lodged down the left side of my throat it's horrible .
I keep getting dull/stich type pains in my fingers chest ribs and belly I'm actually too scared to move out of my bed I did have reflux before I went to sleep but I'm on a propped pillow and on my side so I don't have any other reason why I would wake up choking xxx
