When sleeping, breathe in fine but can't breathe out through nose
When I sleep, according to my husband, I can breathe in normally through my nose, but then pause and am unable to breathe out through my nose. I eventually push out a breath through my mouth. I also wake up with sore abdominal muscles. I have had a sleep study which showed no sleep apnea. I don't feel stuffed up, what could be the problem. I am also incredibly tired during the days despite 7-8 hrs of sleep. Thanks!
Thanks for your question. I'm not certain what could be causing this - especially if the sleep study showed no sleep apnea. Is it possible you have a deviated septum? Or some issue related to your lungs/bronchial or breathing? Just a couple of thoughts. Maybe it is simply a matter of re-training your body to breathe correctly with some new exercises.
Check in with your phycisian to see if you can work together to get to the bottom of what is happening. You may also consider reviewing the sleep study results - just in case.
