Re: Months on CPAP and still struggling

Re: Months on CPAP and still struggling

Hello robysue ! My first question is: Are you still doing the tongue exercises? If not, start doing them again. My guess is those exercises will eventually "fix" the aerophagia problem in that if you keep doing them, the amount of time during the night when the tongue slips off the palate and allows...

Re: Months on CPAP and still struggling

Last but not least, before you go to sleep tell yourself: "even if I wake up, even if there is a leak spike, I will not take off the mask , I will turn over and continue sleeping".
