Sensation of hair caught in throat.

Post by cnl390 » Mon Nov 03, 2014 2:58 pm

Has anyone experienced the sensation of a hair being caught in the throat. I have read that it can be caused by things such as post nasal drip, infection, etc.
Just wondering if it might be caused by CPAP.
Thanks

Usually only if my humidifier was set too low. Play with your humidifier settings.

Also if you are using a nasal mask make sure you are not mouth breathing.

Also make sure you don't have silent acid reflux (GERD)

I don't know about "caused by", but.......if your settings aren't optimal and you're mouth-breathing.......maybe.
And, if you WERE mouth-breathing, maybe you DID get a hair caught in your throat.

I have to ask. What were you doing that you had that much hair in your mouth that it would get caught in your throat?

Any chance you're on a med like Lisinopril for blood pressure? It caused my throat to feel like a feather was tickling it.

Usually that is my clue that I am starting to get a cold. And if its too bad, I go sleep out on the couch where I can sleep sitting up either with or without the ASV depending on whether I can tolerate being masked up.
