"where they stick the scope down your throat. he saw that my tongue was the obstruction. he had me lay down and do a "sleep" type assimilation and pinched my nose and had me take a breath"

When he pinched your nose and inhaled a breath through your nose .... do you recall if you ALSO
swallowed at the same time? I had that same test and when I got home, I attempted to repeat that test and if I also swallow, my tongue does touch the back of my throat (obstruction); but if I don't swallow, my tongue DOES NOT touch the back of my throat (not the obstruction). Do you recall your test that well? Thanks
