A member asked:
Why does my throat gurgle at night when lying down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Throat gurgling: Your throat "gurgles" when the airway partially obstructs during sleep; the lining of your throat may narrow and mucus flowing creates turbulent "gurgles". If you experience restless sleep or wake up tired frequently, you may not be resting well.
