Do you wake up with a dry mouth?
What an ENT will likely do is scope your sinuses (costs a chunk of change, but pretty cool and informative), and send you home with a self-administered sleep study that may catch sleep apnea if it exists.
- silicon2401 5y agoI do, though not every single morning. I've interpreted it to happen when the climate is drier, but I guess if we're even having this kind of discussion, I might as well just go to a professional and have them clear it up.
- hammock 5y agoNot a doctor, but as I understand it your mouth really should not be open during sleep unless there is some level of dysfunction
- silicon2401 5y agoThat's also helpful to know, thanks for sharing. I think my mouth generally defaults to being open, and I always assumed that was just the natural consequence of gravity once I'm asleep and my face/mouth muscles relax. All the more reason to get that sleep study done lol
