Does mouth tape help with sleep apnea?
My husband snores very loudly and has been diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. Someone suggested using mouth tape to help him. Does mouth tape actually help with sleep apnea, or is it just a gimmick?

Using mouth tape can be highly dangerous if you have actual obstructive sleep apnea because your body opens your mouth to get oxygen when the nasal airway is blocked. Please consult a sleep specialist before trying this social media trend.
I tried mouth taping once and woke up choking because my nose was congested. If you have sleep apnea, stick to your CPAP machine or consult your pulmonologist; mouth tape is not a safe alternative.
Bhai, don't blindly follow internet trends for serious breathing issues. If your oxygen drops at night, blocking your mouth can be fatal. Go see an ENT doctor.
It might help simple snorers who just breathe through their mouth out of habit, but for real apnea, it's risky. Better to talk to a doctor instead of taping your mouth shut at night.
Please get a proper overnight sleep study done first. Sleep apnea is a serious cardiovascular risk, and using mouth tape without knowing your airway patency is highly unsafe.
