A Kentucky doctor called the trend 'the most dangerous I've seen in some time,' while other physicians weighed in, too.
One account, "Movewithjames," posted a video less than a week ago about mouth taping — and to date it's garnered some 2.8 million views.
Nose breathing also produces nitric oxide, which helps to widen blood vessels, which can help oxygen circulation in the entire body, the outlet indicated.However, the outlet also reported that in "some cases, mouth breathing is necessary. You might need to breathe through your mouth if you have: nasal congestion, a deviated septum or small nostrils."
In a TikTok search result for #mouthtaping, one video shares a disclaimer with the footage that reads, "Participating in this activity could result in you or others getting hurt."Noting that "millions of people suffer from health issues that affect their breathing during sleep, such as sleep apnea," Dr. Culpepper said that forcibly taping the mouth shut could worsen sleep apnea — which could be fatal.and early death," he said.
Dr. Baljinder S. Sidhu, a pulmonologist and sleep specialist who is co-owner of Pacific Coast Critical Care Group in Southern California, told Fox News Digital, "Generally speaking, nasal breathing is much harder to achieve during sleep compared to wakefulness. This is due to the effects of gravity when lying supine or flat, [plus the] relaxed muscle and tissue tone during sleep — all of which are generally aggravated by our normal negative pressure breathing.
He explained that "newer treatments include treating high arched palate in children, to try to prevent the negative effects on nasal breathing that this causes later in life." In addition, Dr. Shiv Sudhakar, a physician in northern California and a fellow of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, shared with Fox News Digital, "Mouth breathing is associated with several medical problems like snoring or allergies."
