In the morning i wake up not being able to breath or swallow due to build up of phlegm in my throat, i don't know what to do about this issue.

Checkup: It sound like you may have a post nasal drip, pooling into the back of your throat. I suggest an examination and also, ask about the possibility of acid reflux while you sleep. Definitely get a medical opinion.
