I wrote my reply and sent it and then found your reply.
Wow, scoop....There we have it. Three of us. Wonder how many others find/found themselves sleeping with their mouth open. .
Yes, now that I think of it one of the reasons I felt concerned about taping the mouth closed is the advice I was given by a YOUNG Nurse Practitioner who told me to stop doing it. She was in charge of doing or not doing the testing for acid reflux. I wanted to have the test performed because of needing to find out what was going on with me with the constant mucus needing to be cleared out of my throat. She refused to do the acid reflux test. Go figure. So onto NJH I went shortly after that.

So not to be a Debbie downer but every medical person I have heard/seen comment on mouth taping thinks it is a bad idea, the majority opine that it is downright dangerous, particularly for anyone with lung disease. If the doctor of anyone in this group says something different I would be interested in hearing that. I know many love the Breath book but it reads like pseudoscience to me and I would be cautious in evaluating its content. I have read comments by medical professionals whose opinion is that the author misquotes or improperly summarizes the research cited. If mouth taping is working for you, make sure you discuss the practice with your medical team. I am not saying Breath or any other self-help resources cannot be helpful. But be sure to review the information you find of interest with your medical team to make sure you are all on the same page, or at the very least that you are fully informed. My dentist agrees mouth breathing is not a great practice but recommended expanding my palate to improve my nose breathing which at my age would be really involved and seemed kinda crazy when he made the recommendation (which was before my BE/MAC diagnosis).
