Took a sudafed last night and did not drink and feel a lot better today. Should I go to a ENT to see if it is allergies.
Most probably you have Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) . Donor sleep straight in supine position... There are multiple management plans..... Weight loss is the primary treatment of OSA.... .. Try to reduce weight... If that is not helping then you can use mandibular assisted devices.....
