My brother thinks this is a hilarious mental image, but I feel like a Macy's balloon when I wake in the morning. I actually prefer a bit of fatigue to the stomach full of air. It has been explained that my mouth gets very dry because of my diabetes and some of my other medications and I swallow to activate my salivary glands and when I do, I am swallowing air. I drink some ginger ale and after about two hours I seem to reach equilibrium, but that is a lot of wasted day. I have tried every type of mask as well as the chin strap and can not tolerate pressures higher than what I have always been on and that does not get my apnea score as low as my doc would like.
