When you refer to excess throat tissue, does that refer to the swelling in the muscle which has to be stretched? I've been having esophogal stretches for about 5 years, and I take prevacid for GERD. I have also been taking restoril for sleep for 4 years. (I have extreme insomnia.) My gp recently suggested tests for sleep apnea. He didn't think insomnia was the problem. Isn't there a definate difference between sleep apnea and insomnia? :confused:

Thanks for any input,
Trish
