does anyone still have their tonsils, and if yes, do you know if they still remove them if they get too bad off?

since my last surgery, oct 12 last year, I seem to be having this weird problem with my throat.

its like....like when you swallow and then you can breathe again...only I dont get the automatic breathe again reflex. its cutting off my air till I "blast it" with a big exhale, and then after a time or 2, I can breathe again.

my throat has been sore, sinus problems, and MAJOR snoring, as per my SO.

I'm getting kind of scared cause what if it happens and I cant wake up to fix it?

I do have an appointment with my doc, but its really getting bad daily. I cant get in to see her till thursday...should I brave the ER and have it checked?

(obviously I'm not sleeping)
