Wow Yael. That is freaky my dear!
I have slept walked a few times, i always talk in my sleep and i snore so bad!
I haven't had an xray of my throat as yet. The second ENT surgeon said that i have nothing physically too wrong that he could pinpoint which could cause mild sleep apnoea and my excessive daytime sleepiness.
I have overbite, so my lower jaw sits just a tad back from my upper jaw and th second ENT specialist said that could be a reason of my gagging/choking at night when all the muscles relax and my jaw falls back when asleep. He didn't mention the dental splint, like the first ENT surgeon had (no way am i having that splint in to keep my jaw forward!). My soft palate and tonsils are okay, so there is no blockage in my throat either.
I had an appt with my booby surgeon yesterday and i mentioned it the septum thing to him as i want to get plastic surgery on my nose too at the same time, and he said that in most cases a deviated septum doesn't need to be corrected as it really isn't doing too much damage, so he gave me a referral to get a CT scan of the face done, but he was more than happy to do it
Oh no, the second ENT mentioned that it is possible narcolepsy with all his findings and the stuff i told him about the history. He did say that anti=depressants can cause excessive sleep too, but i told him that my symptoms began waaaaaaaaaaaay before then.
