Re: Apnea surgery

I've now lost 22 lbs in 2 months. My flow limitations are very low. And snoring is low. I've lowered pressure to 13 epap and 5 ps. My AHI is at about 2. Fls and snoring are still low.

Re: Apnea surgery

Some of the reading in the links suggests there is a correlation between aerophagia and taking gerd meds. I'm curious, is my recent taking of gerd meds linked to my recent problems with higher pressure. I had epap at 18.6 for almost 2 months. Then I started taking nexium about a month ago

Re: Apnea surgery

There's a link to a youtube video in the useful links in my signature line. A few people have reported it works, and it's free to try. Also try sleeping on your left or right side.
