well here I am looking to the internet because my doctor does not seem very serious about my condition...I had a sleep study done about 3 months ago...I still have not got my results back...I have an appointment with the sleep specialist at the end of the month..But here is my problem..the last few nights I have been getting up kinda of like in a choke of sorts...having to catch my breath and feeling a burning sensation in my throat. I have also noticed that my mouth is extreamly dry and not moist in any way...I have been falling alsleep at work and am always tired in the daytime. Will I sleep better if I elevate my head..or is there anything i can do till my appointment to stay safe..i am afraid that my air supply is being cut off, and I can't figure out why..I am not really congested so what could it be. When I did my sleep study there hooked me up to a breath machine, but it only made it worse...someone please help..this is getting to be pretty scary..by the way...i am only about 15 pounds overweight..so I am not sure if that has something to do with it...

If you're having symptoms/problems like that, and your doctor isn't taking it seriously - it's time for a new doctor.

Ditto on what FJC said - also look into the burning as possibly acid reflux or similar disorders.  You might have a combination of things going on.
