How to stop choking on saliva while sleeping

Having the feeling that something is stuck in the throat can be an annoying experience for many people.

To get rid of that annoying feeling that something is lodged in the back of the throat, some people try coughing or swallowing frequently to try and clear their throat. The sensation of a lump in your throat can come and go and could be accompanied by hoarseness, a buildup of saliva at the back of the throat, inflammation, or, in some cases, difficulty swallowing.

Why does my saliva get thick at night

The medical term for the sensation of something stuck in the throat is globus pharyngeus and this is also known as globus sensation. Dr. Michelle Wright on Patient.info says that the globus sensation could be caused by the muscles that are involved in swallowing.

These muscles don’t relax properly resulting in a feeling that there is a lump in the throat or some other sort of obstruction in the throat when there is none.¹ Stress, stomach acid coming back up the esophagus, throat infection, allergic reactions to food or insect bites
