A member asked:
Been losing sleep for a week, mass feeling in throat, constant awareness of breathing, and continuous waking. could this be sigh syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflux: This could be acid reflux, obstructive sleep apnea, or a mass in the throat but somewhat less likely given your age. I would try otc Tums (calcium carbonate) or Prilosec and see if it helps your symptoms. If not see an otolaryngologist to perform a laryngoscopy.
