Sleep Apnea

[Spartacavolus]

Watching someone with with bad apnea gasp for air like a fish is pretty crazy.
Don't know about helping with apnea, but there are pillows that help keep a clear path for air to get through your windpipe. They can knock down a lot of basic snoring.

I think gv/cc has had about 6 of them, so you might check with him.

It is an auto-decline under most underwriting guidelines. Right there with diabetes and AIDS. If you 1) disclosed this and 2) got issued a standard policy and 3) it wasn't group insurance then someone was likely asleep at the switch.

Disclosed, standard term life & health, via Farm Bureau. Putting my mask on and headed to bed good night.

I may have had this or similar when I was in middle school, I could not breathe well through my nose, always a mouth breather and snorer, but they removed my tonsils and opened up my airway in my nose some how. So much pain, was not talking and drinking after surgery. But well worth it!
