Question: Treating sleep apnea?Before anybody says "Lose weight." I am doing that. About 45 lb. since last January and I'm still losing weight.Recently I heard about singing as exercise to strengthen the airway to lessen sleep apnea. I'm just back from another sleep study(my 3rd) and even though a different CPAP device was used I HATED it. I heard that a doctor in England? came up with these exercises,but I didn't follow up on the news article. I love to sing and if it improved my health that's an added bonus.
Answer: I have severe sleep apnea too! However, mine is not from being overweight. Some people get it when their chin is recessed. And I also hate the CPAP and find it does not even help me if I manage to keep it on all night and not freak out from feeling claustrophobic. I only know of two things to help, the hated CPAP machine and/or surgery! I've had two surgeries so far, but in my case has not helped. However, it might help you! Never heard of the singing?
