Swollen uvula

2017-04-07 20:41:48
I have sleep apnea and sleep with a CPAP. Last night I fell asleep without using my CPAP and woke up in the middle of the night with severe discomfort in my throat. It felt swollen and when i swallowed, I would swallow my uvula. of course it would snap back, but it is very uncomfortable. I expected it to become unswollen during the course of the day, but it has not and am having trouble talking, eating and breathing. What should I do?
