                        Hi:  I have sleep apena also and were a device at night which stops the apena and the snoring.  I don't have a bloted  stomach, but I wake up with lots of mucus.  The mucus comes out of my mouth  and nose and I have to keep using tissues until the mucus is all gone.  I consulted with an ear,nose & throat  and an allegy doctor, but neither doctor  could find out why this happens.  I am  also hoping that somebody comes up with  a solution.
