What Causes Chocking Feeling In The Throat Post A Chemotherapy Session?
Question: My husband received his second round of chemotherapy for mantle cell lymphoma - he is suffering severe thirst which is impacting on his throat. He also suffers from sleep apnea so he is experiencing more choking sensations in the throat - his head feels terrible also - is this normal?
Brief Answer:
Hello. Thirst can be there.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So with chemotherapy, drying throat, increased thirst can be there. We usually advice plenty if oral fluids at frequent intervals to patients. Moreover, aquawet spray can be used to keep oral cavity moist at night. For sleep apnea, you must visit a chest specialist, as it will aggregate thirst because patient tend to breathe with mouth open.
Thanks and regards
