Start eating just meat, add potatoes, day by day, add another food. Food allergy causes nasal passage obstruction. My allergy was wheat, threw away my cpap.

Are you over weight?

I am slightly overweight~200. I used to be vastly overweight ~280. Again, it was the wheat, when removed from my diet, my weight corrected.

The reason I asked is that this problem is typical of overweight people.
I weigh 254. And I'm 5'-11. Never a fat guy until after my skydiving accident. That got me up to almost 300lbs. I've lost weight because I eat like a bird. Can't exercise...between all of the herniated discs in my neck and back and a bum knee, it's friggin' impossible.
Funny note: My wife and I joined the Y in Feb 2008 after I was laid off. We got in on the poor "f'ers" program.

Never used the pool or jacuzzi and wore clothing head to toe. My wife got a staph infection on her hip within 3 weeks and I got a staph infection in my sinuses at the same time. I had boils hanging out of my nose that looked like party balloons. I had no health insurance and when I couldn't stand the pain any longer, I headed to the ER. I was given an MRI and told if I had waited much longer, it might have traveled to my brain and killed me. I was very lucky. So now I'm scared to death of public gyms.
I still eat wheat in my diet. But we are poor and carbs are the poor man's diet. Until something changes, I have no choice. Drat!
