""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.""



I woke up on a business trip in New Orleans with Strep a few years ago. That's EXACTLLY what my tonsils felt like.... Very scary. I drove 5 hrs back home and straight to the doc. One day of antibiotics, and they were already down, and not grabbing at each other, lol.... So, maybe you have a mild infection that is keeping them swollen???? Best of luck!!!!!
