Hello,
There are many risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea (obesity, age, narrow airway, large neck circumference, smoking, alcohol or sedative use) and other risk factors for central sleep apnea (age, heart failure, kidney failure, brain or brain stem disorders.
Have you had a sleep study? What were the findings and recommendations from your healthcare provider?
Are you overweight or obese and do you have other risk factors?

I can't exhale and have some resistance and no prednisone/dulera helps that. I have GERD and some urological infection, prostatitis. I was really worried after surgery and took 72g of NAC and 50g of glutamine.
