[QUOTE="Tulsa Reiner, post: 2406338, member: 75815"] Since I posted that wise crack (post #61), I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea, and I only weigh 175 lbs at 6'0"!! The diagnosis was made after I developed atrial fibrillation, a common complication of sleep apnea. I had an at-home sleep study and had "mild sleep apnea," meaning 5-10 episodes of apnea/hr. Then a followup study was done after wearing my PureSleep.com mouth device for a month, and concentrating on sleeping only on my sides. (No supine/ back sleeping allowed!), and my apnea was cured-- only 1 episode in 5 hours. So I now sleep religiously with my mouth device. I DO NOT want right heart failure. I already have a fib, and have to take a heart pill and anticoagulant for it, both expensive but essential medications. I relate this story to illustrate that severe snoring and sleep apnea are not something to be ignored. And to say that choice of treatment should be done under the direction of a pulmonologist, not a dentist. I'm fortunate that the mouth device from PureSleep.com was effective treatment for me.
