Facial Skeletal developement also plays a major major role. This is highly unknown, except by people that are focusing their studies in this area. Lack of breast feeding, lack of eating solid foods when facial structures are growing/developing causes a “long face”. The jaw grows in a down and forward direction in these people (versus the more desirable horizontal growth). Horizontal jaw growth also creates more attractive individuals like square-jawed individuals, like brad pit, and Angelina Jolie. This steep jaw angle growth in “long-faced” people places the tongue much closer to the back of the throat. Making it much easier for the tongue to drop back and obstruct the airway. With the tongue in a posterior position, it’s not sitting forward as it should be, which allows the palate to narrow, and the nasal airway to narrow. Nasal breathing thus can’t take place as easy. Mouth breathing thus has to occur to compensate. Mouth breathing causes the jaw to again drop open, and causes the tongue to easily occlude the airway. I could go on and on. But I want to point out that “skeletal growth” plays THE MOST important role in sleep apnea. (PS: I’m a dentist)

Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "obstructive sleep apnea symptoms in men" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - letochy fast apnea plan - (do a google search ) ? It is a good one off guide for discovering how to get rid of sleep apnea without the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy got cool results with it.

@@donromy8583Sleep apnea was studied in men and defined by the symptoms that men have. So you do not have to work for sleep apnea in men. How much everything you find on the term sleep apnea will apply to a man.
