I'm wondering if mouth breathing, especially during sleep, could contribute to fibro symptoms?
i realized today that I have probably been mouth breathing for quite some time in my sleep, years even.
I wake with dry mouth and have trouble breathing most of the day which gives me anxiety like symptoms, I feel like I can never get a good breath. I do have TMJ and I think that could contribute as my mouth wants to prop open in my sleep.
I have read about fibro being linked to cells not receiving adequate oxygen levels. That happens through hyperventilation? Mouth breathing causes hyperventilation.
I'll start practicing the Buteyko method and taping my mouth at night. If it helps improve my breathing and dry mouth and airways, I'd be happy with that!
Is anyone else here a mouth breather?
