Sleeping with a bubbling sound in the throat may be associated with post-nasal drip syndrome, reflux pharyngitis, pharyngo-esophageal diverticulum and other diseases.
1. Post-nasal drip syndrome: deviated nasal septum, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis and other diseases can often cause increased nasal secretions, often when sleeping, secretions backflow to the throat, breathing airflow vibration secretions issued by the bubbling sound.
2. Reflux pharyngitis: when sleeping, the stomach contents reflux to the throat, can be in the breathing process, the airflow disturbance reflux material produce bubbling sound.
3. Pharyngo-esophageal diverticulum: Because there is a weak triangle between the hypopharyngeal contraction muscle and the cricopharyngeal muscle, coupled with the incoordination of the muscle activity, i.e., when the hypopharyngeal contraction muscle is contracting to push the food downward, the cricopharyngeal muscle does not relax or contracts prematurely, resulting in the esophageal mucosa puffing out of the weak zone, which is a puffed-up pseudo-diverticulum. The sound of bubbling in this diverticulum is produced during the process of swallowing saliva at night while sleeping.
When the blistering sound comes out of the throat during sleep, you can actively consult a doctor for a systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis and the cause of the disease.
