Yes started Dec 27. Shovelled during the day. It was at night I first noticed when laying in bed. I don’t have any tests lined up in the near future. I will
Inquire about those things you mentioned. Thank you. My wife tells me I snore when I am very tired. I purchased a sleep apnea app thing and it is telling me I sleep very well. Trying my best to breath through my nose. I also have been doing the Buteyko breathing each morning drive to work. Last several days have been daily improvements.

That's good that the breathing exercises are helping you. I would definitely stick with them as long as possible, and also add an evening/night session of breathing exercises if you can. Twice a day helped me improve quite a bit. I was doing it 3 or more times a day for a while, but figured twice a day was good for me. Another thing I did as part of the Buteyko method was taping my mouth shut at night for a few weeks to train my body to breathe through my nose at night. This also helped along with the breathing exercise and regular exercise. Let me know things are going after a while of continuing Buteyko. It'll definitely help others here to learn of other people's experience with breathing exercises.
