Welcome everyone, just joined the forum and would like to share my story here.
I struggled for whole my life with permanently congested nose, it limited very much functioning in this world. Many small health challenges snowballed because of that, I counted literally 30 of them. Starting from chronic fatigue, headaches, swallowing issues and lastly choking and suffocating during sleep. It negatively influenced 38 years of my life, however the story turns out to be very much positive.
By some miracolous coincident I found a book about Buteyko method and after six months of daily practice I managed to fix my lifelong challenge. Can’t express what shift was that, and what I feel even now writing this sentence. 30 health issues dissappeared even breath stopping during sleep. Today, I’m productive as never before, sleep great, I feel like I’ve just started living.
What followed then was another coincidence that led me to start a project related to whole story. To keep it short, it’s about acoustic detection of obstrucive sleep apnea. So just by using breathing sounds during sleep we will be able to detect OSA events. With hypopneas is somewhat a challenge for now, but it will be worked out.
The reason I joined this forum is because of this project. I would like to conduct a short survey. Initially may I ask if you would agree on that? Maybe I should contact admin of this group, first?
It's worth also to add that I'm still practising some breathing exercises and keep on mouth taping for a night (almost daily), and see huge benefits since almost 2 years.
Have a good day,
Krzysztof
