He had just gone to see a Sleep Doc and took his card in. The doc told him to try sleeping on his side. I told him that several months ago. Trying to get him to go see Dr. K in NM.blackrock wrote:I think it is more complicated than that. I personally thought the 40% number was higher than what I have read in literature myself, but who am I to question the specialist. The doctor I was speaking with is pretty well educated. (not saying he cant be wrong) Lot of time they are more aware of new research results due to conferences, and updates before it hits the main stream.JeffH wrote:Better get a new doctor.

It does in about 40% of the patients according to my ENT sleep specialist, and a ENT plsatics I saw.
