I've had a Drug induced sleep endoscopy that I requested myself from a private clinic in my country. However docs do not agree as to its results and what actually causes obstruction. Some say it's the tonsils, others that it's the palate. Can I upload the video of my endoscopy so that you might tell me where do you notice obstruction while sleeping??

Drug induced sleep endoscopy
Hello people
I've had a Drug induced sleep endoscopy that I requested myself from a private clinic in my country. However docs do not agree as to its results and what actually causes obstruction. Some say it's the tonsils, others that it's the palate. Can I upload the video of my endoscopy so that you might tell me where do you notice obstruction while sleeping??

I can see that you are on a ? machine. If you upload the Oscar curves, some experts on this forum are able to pinpoint the palatal prolapses and separate them from other obstructions.

As I understand it, removing the palantene tonsils as an adult is a highly unpleasant experience. Mine are long gone so I would not know, but it was not that bad as a kid. Adenoids out both then and again earlier this year, which has definitely made a difference. I would not surgically touch your soft palate except as a last resort.
Look, I'm an engineer, not a doctor! Please don't take my opinion as a substitute for medical advice.

Jimsaripper, I do not feel this forum is qualified to interpret video endoscopy. As much as we might like to help, that is a service you must seek from a professional.
