Okay, I posted about this a few months ago when this phenomenon was just starting. It happens every single time I use the bipap now, when I first start to relax (and fall asleep) The surface of my tongue starts to vibrate and make a whirly noise, it flutters so much that it sometimes gets my lips to fluttering too. I sleep with my mouth closed, but can't keep a tight lip seal. Once my tongue gets stuck up to the roof of my mouth the noise stops, but until then, man is it loud! Its like a snore, but is constant, inhale exhale, doesn't matter if the air is flowing.
Its so WEIRD! I think I asked before if anyone else had this happen, and am still curious... My best guess is its due to atrophy, and the membrane of my tongue being kind of loose. But, I'm not the only one with tongue atrophy, so why doesn't anyone else mention this?
Anymore its almost comforting, I'll hear it start up and I'll think to myself, "good, I must be falling asleep" .... and then I do 8)
