I have not had rad., but my surgery was in the upper mouth/sinus area, and I have periods of difficulty breathing, and I just chalk it up to inflammation. I sleep better on one side than the other, and I am finally convinced that it is not a sign of a problem, since it is transient.

Maybe the rad. caused inflammation of those tissues along the breathing system, and they sometimes are more swollen than at other times. Could be.....eh?
