Hi everybody!
I am 13 days post op… and have noticed some difficulty swallowing (it feels stuck in my throat and have to drink to wash it down)
And what I think is sleep apnoea…
The sleeping issue is only when I am laid on my back. It is always that moment as I sink into sleep and I start “snorting”/ choking for a moment and I wake up. Feels like my throat closes up or my tongue moves further back.
I have never had this problem before surgery. So I presuming this is due to swelling post op pressing on the nerves etc??
Anyone had this as a new symptom post op?
