Thank you. I had severe Sleep apnoea diagnosed last year and had a dental splint made which I used for a while...am now back to using in case the Sleep apnoea is combining with thicker phlegm (with the Symbicort). I think this may be the problem.
I must follow up on the hypopnea ... presumably that information should have come from the Sleep study. 🙏

@narelled23 I would mention to your dentist and pulmonologist that you have a combination of sleep apnoea and asthma. I’m not sure if the dental splints are good in this combination or not. When I was a practising dentist, I only recommended splints for mild and moderate cases of apnea. They might recommend a CPAP machine instead. Your sleep study should have shown any hypopnea. Good luck to you, it’s hard going through all this and being exhausted at the same time.
