The site dealing a lot with the headaches this can cause. But provides a lot of information on WHAT is going on. And recommends a dental guard which works for me, when the more common night guard did not. Hope this helps. Allen

I have sinusitis as well as sleep apnea, and on bad days have a lot of trouble using CPAP but have a nasal spray that I have to use all the time to keep the sinusitis under control it’s chemical name is budesonide the brand name I use is Rhinocort but there are a couple of brand names. With regards to  cramped jaws, it a funny thing with sleep apnea I found so many things have improved and some I do not think about until someone on this ng mentions it that why I like this ng, When you mention cramped jaws, I remembered that I use to get that really often but have not had it at all since CPAP with has been 18 months now. I do not know if CPAP has been the cure of this but I would not be surprised. I have had so many thing happened, like the only medication I now use is the rhinocort and the occasional aspro. I was on so much medication before CPAP such as medication for high blood pressure, low sugar, fluid retention, and various pain killers for migraines and within the first 2-3 weeks on CPAP I was off all these to the surprise of my normal GP. Anyway good luck with second study Warren "Bruno Frech" <bru…@ozemail.com.au> wrote in message

Having allergies to anything that pollinates and living in Florida I also have near constant congestion and post nasal drip. I don’t wake up with cramped jaws. Is it possible you might be grinding your teeth in your sleep? After my first night they booked me for the second one as soon as they could get me in (ten days later due to a cancellation, and on very short notice for me) because I had so many apneas and hyponeas and my blood oxygen concentration was so low. How quickly they can book you for the second night of study seems to vary from place to place, some labs are much busier than others or have fewer rooms than others which leads to a long waiting list. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Bruno Frech wrote: > since I was diagnosed with sleep apnea only a few days ago I am a little > confused and in urgent need of more information. > Had my first Sleep test allready and I am booked in for a second one. > Meanwhile I wonder if my constandly blocked or nearly blocked nose might be > part or all of the problem ?? > Is it normal to wake up in the morning with cramped jaws ?/ > thanks for your help
