I've thought about it. I am going to see a few specialist doctors between now and March. I'll ask them if they think am a good candidate and if they can refer me to a good ENT. I live in Canada, so there might be a wait time. We shall see.

I am not sure if it is the only cause of my sleep issues ( might have central sleep apnea) , but it is likely a major factor. Although I can breathe through my nose, it feels quite restricted at times, especially while I'm lying down. Often times one of my nostrils feels completely blocked.

It's amazing how much the Breathe Rights help. Unfortunately, I wouldn't say they are perfect.
