Very nice doctor god bless you❤❤❤❤ ..I live in india
My husband has been in the military for twenty years and counting, and was diagnosed with sleep apnea a few years ago, after YEARS of me urging him to speak to a doctor due to his snoring, flailing fits where he startles and strikes out in his sleep (I’ve been elbowed in the face a time or two 😅), and episodes where he would scare me because he would just STOP breathing… He’s one of the few who is in full compliance, and he sleeps with his CPAP every night, even when we travel…
And let me tell you!
It has made a WORLD of difference!
tell him: amazing job!
I kept getting major sinus infections while wearing my cpap.
