at first my floor of my mouth was swollen and still is and now also my tongue and throat are swollen. My speech is impeded and the outside of my neck under the chin area looks swollen and now I have sleep apnea symptoms too and will be going to a sleep clinic.
Swelling on floor of mouth is not a sign or symptom of sleep apnoea.
Signs and symptoms of sleep apnoea include feeling sleepy and tired during the day, feeling lethargic and inability to concentrate.
You are doing the right thing by going to the sleep clinic. Please also see your GP for the swelling. The sleep clinic will not anything for your swelling because the two are not related.
Good luck.
One of the most common symptom of sleep apnea is snoring. But this is not so dangerous…When your breathing stops during sleep, then you have a typical sleep apnea symptom.
Anyway, congratulations for you sleep test!
The swelling may not be from sleep apnea, but it could be causing it.
