Re: Throat flapping, fatigue, and no events??
Hey, i think i am also experiencing this. As soon as i fall asleep i feel a sudden closing of my throat and it creates a panic. It is worse on CPAP. Can we share some flow graphs to identify?

Re: Large tongue base
I was hoping it was simply positional based apneas but most of my apneas happened during side sleeping, although this is how i normally sleep for most of the night so no surprises there, i do also have them on my back, it could be worse if I sleep more on my back but right now it happens regardless ...

Re: Large tongue base
My jaw size is fine, nice and wide, it really is just my tongue, I find it comforting to know it is a common issue amongst apnea sufferers. Thanks Dog Slobber, I shall keep on with this battle. Higher pressures are so difficult to tolerate. ChicagoGranny, my CPAP is a F&P icon Plus, very old, I had ...
