I am on a cpap. my ahi 0-5. about 15 minutes ago i woke up gasping. my machine is running normal though. this is the second time within a year this has happened. the only thing i notice is that each time my throat and nasal cavity seems sticky?

This can happen if you have nasal congestion. THe nasal congestion can be treated with nasal saline and Flonase. IF you aggressively treat the nasal congestion, hopefully these episodes will stop happening. If they continue after treating the nasal congestion, then see your sleep doctor. Good luck!
