Re: Question about breathing for everyone

I totally understand what you mean. I have an enlarged thyroid and it feels like its making my airway tired a lot of the time...like effort is needed to open my throat and breathe. I went to my ENT and he said he didn't see any constriction. He said I have a large tongue though...and we discussed a ...

Re: Frustrated and Tired

So far, I gave it a try for 2 nights on the Flex level 3. I don't feel like its making me keep breathing. I'm going to look at some info to help explain some of the sleepytime data because I don't know what it all means...like why on the AHI chart there's such long spans of time? I'm not worried abo...

Re: Frustrated and Tired

Ok, I will change it to C-Flex level 3 and try it tonight. Thank you! I'm going to schedule an appt with my pulmonologist and ask him about the GERD situation.

Re: Frustrated and Tired

I do not know how to lower the pressure on my machine. I was told I wouldn't be able to (or allowed to?) do that. I suppose I can find some info on how to do this myself! I do have reflux, and it seems to have gotten worse over the last year. I'll make an appointment to get it checked out. I hadn't ...

I know I need to get this resolved and become successful for my health. I found this site and it seems like a great place. Here's my current issue... I don't have a very...
