I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, I have the new cpap machine I have been using it just over a week with and without humidifier. I am fine and adjusting to using the machine and mask however for the past 4 days I have had a feeling that something is stuck in the bottom of my throat I try clearing it and nothing us there. I can talk eat etc however the feeling I can't breathe is now overwhelming. I went to Dr and she said its my windpipe and wanted me to go to hospital but I have waited as it started afew days after using machine that's why I stopped using humidifier incase it was that. Of a morning my windpipe is fine and there is no issue but has the hours pass the feeling comes back. I am sipping water and eating throat sweets just to take the sensation away. Has anyone or is this a side affect from the cpap machine? The clinic is shut so can't call them I am desperate for advice please and thankyou in advance
