Sleep Apneoa

Hi. Are you saying your sleep apnoea is getting worse? 

It is returning a bit more assertively than ehen it usually does. It can make a reappearance if I eat or drink something peculiar or drink fruit juice before bed, but is gone in a day or so, and the adaptions I have made it isn’t a problem. This time I am not sure what started it?

Hi.  This may not be connected and I have not regarded that I have had obstructive sleep apnoea, but in the first 18 months post treatment I did notice that occasionally my throat (probably base of tongue area)  felt "flabby" and vibrated like a low base speaker when I tried to breath or speak.  I put this down to residual swelling from the RT or lymphoedema.  Not sure if it affected me at night - aside from my wife complaining about the snoring!!  These complaints correlated to the flabby feeling.  Anyway I did nothing about it and it gradually ceased over the months as I started to generally feel better. 

You are still very early doors on recovery.  Mention it to your team, but hopefully it will reduce over time.

Thanks Peter,

This would fit… my roof of mouth is a bit flabby(not toned) normally, so my tongue has received a lot of radiation and inflammation so would behave in a similar manner, if provoked!
