Everyone at the allergy place today looked like they had UARS. They all looked tired. I'm only guessing, but probably right.

What do you think the odds of allergies being a huge culprit to some of us and our sleep disordered breathing?

I know my allergies are definitely a factor as they attribute to blocking my nose at night when sleeping.

Also, i'm strongly assuming I might have some type of collapse.. but I also know collapse can happen from the vacuum effect of a blocked nose and mouth breathing.

If I were to guess what problem I have, i'd say the above mentioned along with a narrow airway, tongue collapse and lateral wall collapse due to a narrow airway. As I find it difficult to swallow on the very rare occasion. And my posture isn't the best - leading to more collapse/ narrowness when sleeping.

So allergies > MARPE/ MSE > MMA

Natural fixes > Posture > Myo > Buteyko breathing > Soft tissue strengthening of the neck via posture exercises.. neck wall holds etc. > then whatever else - didgeridoo etc etc. Whatever needs to be done.
