My husband has a reduced airway and has multiple health and lifestyle challenges that I think that are directly related to it. Last year he had a life threatening cardiac episode. I believe his cardiologist suggested that his heart was overly taxed and damaged in some part, due to long-term poor respiration.
Since his pacemaker and defibrillator unit was inserted, he’s lost 50 pounds, exercises and eats cleanly, but still has very low energy and fatigue, and some mild cognitive issues.
I know that my husband’s breathing and related health problems are his, and he suffers greatly from that, as the spouse and long-term partner who has also lived alongside this condition for over three decades, I can say that it has affected the quality of our relationship, the quality of our life and colored day-to-day decisions that we make every single day for decades.
