Gagging Sensation At Night, Sucking Lozenge, Snoring. Can I Lay Down During The Day And Have A Nap?

Thank you for your query.
1. Your sensation of choking and gagging is most probably related to dryness in the throat. This is relieved partially by lozenges.
2. You need to undergo a sleep study to rule out Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS).
3. Nasal obstruction or congestion and acid reflux will also lead to mouth breathing and dryness in the throat. Decreased salivation and dental problems may also contribute.
4. What is your BMI (Body Mass Index) ? It is also possible to do a flexible endoscopy and a Sleep MRI. Kindly let me know the results of your investigations. This will help decide medication and further treatment.
I hope that I have answered your queries. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
