A member asked:

Whenever my 13 y.o son goes to sleep on his back he wakes up feeling like he is choking? why is this? anyway way to help it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Choking: This could be obstructive sleep apnea mostly due to hypertrophy of tonsils & adenoids or choking on post nasal drip. He need to be evaluated by his 1ry care physician or ENT, ASAP, sleep apnea study would be helphul. Good luck
