air bubbles after weight loss

by Richard Smith

Hi,

I've been on Mounjaro for about 3 months now, not primarily for weight loss, but I have lost weight around my face and neck.  I've noticed that I am increasingly getting air bubbles in my mouth which of course is disturbing my sleep (and my wife's).  I've read that it's probably because the air pressure in my cpap is too high.  I've spoken to my doctor who was going to refer me to  an NHS sleep clinic but who knows when I might get an appointment.  I could reduce the pressure on the machine myself but I think I should probably see a professional.  I'm a bit concerned that some of the sleep clinics I see online seem to have 'specialists' that aren't doctors, does anyone have experience of that sort of clinic?  Or should I just get myself an appointment with a ENT doctor?

    Hi Jonathan,

    Thanks again for the info.  My cpap *should* be monitored by the NHS though I haven’t had any contact from them since pre-covid.  
    I checked out the link you gave to access extra data and I think that’s going to be really useful.

    cheers!

    Hi

    My sleep clinic discharged me, saying they were happy I was self-managing.  Roll on a decade and the cardiologists taking care of me were very unimpressed and I was re-enrolled.  I expect remote monitoring with current generation Resmed and other brands of machines has been a game-changer for the NHS.

    Hi,

    Just thought I'd give an update.  So, I had my appointment with the NHS sleep clinic which was much quicker than I anticipated and I've now had the overnight sleep study.  My AHI is now 6, down from over 30, so I'm being discharged!  For me Mounjaro is a miracle drug - in addition to reducing my sleep apnea, my testosterone is back to normal levels and my IBS has virtually disappeared.  It's unfortunate that I can't be prescribed it on the NHS.
