20 years ago this girl would have been able to live a full life... because there was no such thing as "Sleep Apnea". Sleep Apnea is the briggest and most fraudulent racket going. If you snore or stop breathing in your sleep, just live with it... don't talk to your doctor about it, especially if you are a transportatiin worker subject to hours of service laws. It's a fast track to suspension of your entire career.
You have been warned. I actually advise everyone to just live the best life they can and avoid the "heath care" government-industrial complex completely.
I identified the issue and went gluten/casein free. End of sinus problems...but not before 7 cases of pneumonia were made worse by the endless post nasal drip.
Now, the point of my post...I probably have sleep apnea too. I wake up often during the night with my throat closed up and a big, nasty snort as I draw air in to open it back up. It's not fun. I detest interacting with the medical "business", so I haven't pursued it. My wife scheduled his-and-hers colonoscopies on September 10th this year. Mine went bad on Sept 20th. I spent all night pooping massive amounts of blood and sucking down another 4 liters of "Golytely" before a follow-up colonoscopy to fix the bleeder. I haven't felt well since. Of course, I need to return within a year because I had lots of pre-cancerous polyps and more polyps were observed while fixing the bleeder.
