Bag Breathing Causing Pressure In Thyroid Region

[A.R]

Anyone else experience this when starting with bag breathing?

I usually breath in a bag for around 20 seconds (that's all I can do ATM) 3-5 times a day.

The pressure feeling comes mostly when I'm lying down.

I'm also taping the mouth before sleep to help with snoring (though it hasn't helped as of yet)

Thank you

Maybe it's your carotid dilating from the CO2.

Are you taking any thyroid meds?

You're having trouble with your mouth taped? Is the tape coming off as you sleep? If so, is your nasal passage and sinus somehow blocked, leaving you little choice but to breathe from your mouth?

Does your difficulty with bag breathing stem from an inability to breathe well and comfortably solely using your nose?

I react very badly to Thyroid T3/t4 mix, even with 1 drop. Stress response adrenaline

I don't really have any difficulty with bag breathing, I just wanted to know if anyone else experienced the pressure in Thyroid region

Also the tape manages to stay on when sleeping

This could be a possibility

I've just googled carotid, and I've experienced many of the symptoms associated with carotid blockage - so maybe it's finally opening up

Interesting @A.R , I get a similar reaction from taking thyroid (t3, tyromix, or ndt). I can also get this feeling from iodine, selenium, and gluten (I'm a celiac) - have you tried those?

Are you saying you still snore with your mouth shut all night, or your mouth opens even with the tape on?

Yes, I'm still snoring even with the tape, so I've been told.

At least I don't wake up with a dry mouth now

Is it at all possible to snort while sleeping? Subtly so that it resembles snoring? Not being facetious. Just entertaining that possibility.

Yes I've tried selenium and iodine, didn't notice much. However, when I stacked them alongside progesterone cream, I started to notice some positive effects

Yes I think that is what happens to me. I can make the snoring noises from the nose whilst awake also. I've been told I sound like a car/tractor whilst asleep.

Do you sleep on your back?
If so, lying on your side might make a difference. There are ways to support that mechanically, too. Eg a pillow at your back, or sewing something into the back of your PJs?

No I don't think that's an issue as I Mostly sleep on my sides - don't feel comfortable sleeping on my back

The pillow suggestion is very good btw, because whilst asleep I may unknowingly be lying on my back

Thank You

I think that's something that you might want to look into. Is there some obstruction somewhere in your nasal passages> Have you tried flushing your nose with normal saline solution, with something like a netti pot?
