Thanks a lot Angela,

Please tell me something, I wake up often at night because my throat is full of mucus and I can't breath properly. I try to swallow but it stick in the back. Is it coming from the asthma? I always feel like I have a huge plug down my throat!

I am not sad or stressed or even worried! I was before, but now then I know what is my problem, I feel so much better!

Because I will finally have a chance to get better!
Hi Nil,
I used to have terrible Asthma attacks as a child (luckily no longer) and had the same with the mucus (sp?). What I used to do was regular steam inhaling, if that makes sense....either from a machine or just a pot of water with or without tealeaves and a tablecloth over the head. Not a permanent solution, but it helped to go back to sleep. This I would do regularly, sometimes at lunch and in the evening for 20-40 minutes.
However - disclaimer - it was such a long time ago that I really do not recollect the details, plus I had two cases of pneumonia as well so there could have been more to it that I do not recollect.

Hope you find something that helps and can control this aspect of your life a little better.

Cheers
