Hello dr's, while waking from my sleep tonight, in a position i don't usually sleep (on my back with my head elevated about 90 ) i noticed an unsual, internal bubbling feeling when exhaling slowly, almost like a low mucus. gone when awakened?

We swallow secretions from sinus, nose, and mouth all the time during sleep and we are not aware of this activity. I assume some secretions were stuck with your unusual head position last night and you were aware of that feeling upon suddenly awaking when the reflex swallowing had occurred.
