What’s really concerning for me is that I will be getting jaw surgery for sleep apnea eventually. Being under general anesthesia for so long might have dramatic consequences for me.
At least you can sleep on your side now. Maybe improvements can just come out of nowhere when you stick to a healthy routine. I agree with others who are telling you to be mindful about your drinking. I think I’ve read that alcohol has caused a number of people to crash. Maybe there are safer ways to unwind. At least be moderate. Look up alcohol and muscle androgen receptors.
