Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Being a sufferer of sleep apnea, I've been starting to wonder if some of us with obstructive sleep apnea (besides being hypo) if having a goiter might play a role in the obstruction in the throat. I have a fairly large goiter and have been wondering if that is what obstructs my airway in my throat while I sleep but I'm not sure. I know just being hypo can do it. Ellen: In answer to your previous post about when to know if the pressure is too high, you would be able to feel it because it would cause you to have to breathe faster and it would be uncomfortable. I know this from when my pressure was too high. As long as your breathing is regular and comfortable, then the pressure isn't too high. That's why they spend a lot of time during the sleep study getting the pressure right while you sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
