Excessive Phlegm/Mucous
A mySMAteam Member asked a question 💭

This has always been something I've had to deal with having SMA but within the last several years and the past few months, it has become much worse. Especially after eating or drinking and while trying to sleep. Often at night, I will wake up to choking and congestion from this.

I understand that this comes with the territory but could this be fatal? Can I end up drowning so to speak? If so, is it likely or probably not that likely to happen? I am 43 years old with SMA 2.
