Do You Have a Chronic Cough?

You and I were talking on the phone many years’ back and you brought to my attention that I had cleared my throat WAY too many times during our conversation and that I might want to go see an ENT doctor.  

I finally got diagnosed.   I had NO airway to speak of.  I had serious genetic sleep apnea and my airway was almost non-existent.

I have not been able to breathe…my whole life.  I just did not know any different.

13 months ago I had double jaw surgery to open up my airway.  It is now 4x the size.  I can breathe!!!!  For the first time in my life.  

You identified it years ago. Now I can sleep for the first time in my life and….I don’t clear my throat anymore!

All my best,

Steve…..and I can breathe!*

If you have a chronic cough please seek medical advice. It could save your life. Or, slightly less dramatic, you could start sleeping through the night, breathe, and be in a better mood!
