Hi! im 23. Ive got tonsil stones since i was 17. My question is: im sure they cause bad breath, but can they cause low-grade fever, or other fatigue problems?

Nowadays im suffering from restless leg syndrome, fatigue problems, low-grade fevers...

ANyone with tonsil stones suffers from any os these??

Thanks a lot!

Please reaply

Yes and no.

1) The tonsil stones are the result of junk being trapped and rotting in your tonsils.

2) If these get infected, then you can have a fever as a result.

3) Most people with tonsil stones have enlarged tonsils.. enlarged tonsils can result in restricted airflow during sleep, even obstructive sleep apnea. If this is the case then the only cure is a CPAP or better still a tonsillectomy.

4) I used to sufferer from these things and was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea.. I would stop breathing 60 times and hour. Chronic infections, alonside the sleep apnea made removal of my tonsils and adnoids a necessity. Now after my post operative sleep study I only stop breathing 11 times and hour with hyponea events. Yes I still need my CPAP, but things are much improved.

5) Go see a sleep doctor, get tested., and get your tonsils and adnoids removed.

Best of luck to you,
Sincerely,
MG

And when you say "get tested"...you mean get a Sleep Study??
