Re: Raised AHI after swimming solved

It isn't necessarily a good thing in adulthood however in my case it enables me to remove my consciousness away from my physical pain but not so much I ...

I had not realized that I was getting a bunged up nose until one night it was really bad and I awoke suffocating. I guess it is the chlorine etc in. the pool.
