Anyone else playing the didgeridoo to help with apnea?
I bought a didgeridoo (musical wind instrument from Australia) a few months ago to help relieve my symptoms. There was a study published in the British Medical Journal that said most of the apnea patients in the study gained significant improvement in daytime sleepiness and breathing. Anybody else out there try this yet? I have to say that, for something that is also a lot of fun, I can really tell the difference myself. Just want to know if there are others out there experiencing similar results.
For those who don't know what a didgeridoo is... well, it's an ancient areophone instrument that's played by vibrating your lips into a mouthpiece at the top end. The sound is a low droning, humming sound that you create rhythms with. They are made from naturally hollowed eucalyptus trees. There are no songs to remember or notes to play, so it's very intuitive to teach yourself how to play one.
It's the type of breathing that you do when you play the didgeridoo that seems to excerize and tone up all that flappiness in the back of your throat. I slpet without my muzzle for the first time in 2 years ast night.
