Most doctors want: 1. you out of their office in five minutes 2. do absolutely zero research to determine the exact diagnosis 3. prescribe meds rather than diagnose your underlying problem 4. dont listen to your symptoms Thus, GOOGLE is your best friend.

are you sleeping on your back?

Get another doctor. This lack of "concern" is troubling. Ive experienced this, and it is COMMON. The best evidence of it is when they want you out of their office in five minutes, and dont LISTEN to your problems, and genuinely try to SOLVE them.

Its important to remember that its not just apnea/snoring youre trying to prevent, but that you need to get the ...

The immune system responds by creating specific antibodies, which are designed to fight off the "invader." These antibodies — called imm...

I think youre talking about a lifestyle habit more than anything else. Those kinds of things are deeply ingrained into your thinking and attitudes, and naturally, fears play a big part in the human psyche and conscience. Before I got married, I would literally read, almost compulsively, into the wee...
