I have what I call cough attacks. Had one the night before last. No stuff in my mouth though. Sounds like you get flem. My problem is that my esophagus flattens. I wake up gasping and coughing. When I lay down at night I make sure my chin is up..and, my bed is up at a certain angle. Pretty scary right?I thought I was dying last night. I woke at 3am not being able to breathe. Its what woke me up. I sat on the edge of the bed trying to take a breath .I realized my mouth was full of very thick IDK what. It was like slime. I was actually pulling it out of my mouth. (gross) After I got a lot out I could finely take a small breath of air I coughed a ton of it out and could finely breathe It scared the hell out of me. I have coughed a lot all day today.I hope whatever it was doesnt come back tonight.
I am telling this because I wondered if anyone knows anything about this. Im sorry if it grosses you out.
