A member asked:

Is it possible for throat to close up while sleeping? would it wake you up? have lump in throat feeling & can't see pcp for endoscopy prescription for 1 week.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pharyngitis: You likely have viral or bacterial pharyngitis. You may need a throat swab. The throat is easily visualized directly or indirectly bu simple mirror exam. You don't need :endoscopy". You will wake up if your airway is obstructed, unless you are profoundly intoxicated.
