I have been trying to lose weight myself since the beginning of the year. I think that it has helped some but I have a ways to go.<br />thanks for commenting<br />DavidDavid Stillwagonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098903299638539350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517280471926035043.post-81960143010331677682012-04-15T13:01:03.927-04:002012-04-15T13:01:03.927-04:00Weight plays a big part in the sleep apnea, the mo...Weight plays a big part in the sleep apnea, the more you weight for people that have it the worse the sleep apnea.....and the more weight you gain. I was also told that a lot has to do with the tissue in the throat going SOUTH, like all the other parts of your body! Apparently that happens inside as well as out. At the same point I was told that I probably had this the better part of my life, as a teen because of my really loud snoring. My guess if that was the case, it was not much of an issue due to the fact I was tiny. As the yrs went on....and the weight went on, it got worse. I was told by my sleep dr. that the health issues that go hand in hand can include, acid reflux, IBS, asthma, migraines, Fibromylgia....and I have all of the above. Hand in hand with the fibro goes more sleep issue and being so tired, plus Raymaud (spelling) where the fingers turn blue and hurt. That I learned I now have. I just kind of wait for the next shoe to drop. Thanks for your blog.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211965720334593365noreply@blogger.com
