OK, first I was wondering of the symptoms of sleep apnea, like fatigue in the mornings, headaches, etc.

Second, I was wondering if it was possible for me to have sleep apnea but not ever remember waking up. Also, my boyfriend says he doesn’t notice anything but he always falls asleep before me and sleeps very heavily.

Additional: I used to snore and my dr. said it was highly likely I had OBSTRUCTIVE apnea, my throat was blocked by my tonsils. I had them removed but the fatigue, headaches, symptoms, etc. haven’t gone away at all.

What is the name for the apnea that is caused by a malfunction of your brain? Is it possible for me to have that type?
—additional: no, I am not overweight but do endure high levels of stress

A friend’s brother beat the crap out of his girlfriend, went home and went to bed, and the next day didn’t remember a single thing about the night before. He was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, and his defense is using sleep apnea as the reason behind the beating. I’ve never heard of that, but I’m not an expert on sleep apnea. Does anyone know?

I have like a sleep disorder , everday i get like 5 hours of sleep . I wonder can this impact your height ?

im 17 , male ,and still one inch shorter then my dad . And im skinny with barely any armpit hair .

I have a severe problem with dry mouth, especially while sleeping. It has gotten so bad that my tongue is tender and inflamed. It gets better during the day when I am awake but then recurs at night while I am asleep. I sleep with a CPAP machine for sleep apnea and use a specially designed chin strap to keep my mouth closed while sleeping, but this doesn’t help the dry-mouth problem and inflamed tongue at all.

Has anyone had this problem and found a solution for it? If so, I am in desperate need of a long-term solution!!!

I have to have a sleep study done tomorrow night and was wondering what to expect. Has anyone had one?

my mom has been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and her doctor has recommended that she buy a cpap machine to aid her in her sleep. we have been hearing conflicting opinions on whether she should get one or not.

would appreciate hearing from your experiences.

I am aware of the C-PAP and the operation for uvula reduction but are there any others out there? I Googled it and really came up with only these two or variations thereof.
I am working on loosing 40 pounds right now. I had a rather severe injury that laid me up and I gained weight but am on the down swing, thanks all, this helped!

i need to find a clinic or hospital that can treat this disease near austin.

I have sleep apnea and I usually feel tired during the day. I usually feel like I don’t have enough energy to work out.

Hi there, I have been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I am a 27 year old male, and obese.

I was wondering if it is possible for CPAP/APAP treatment to be ineffective? My GP and specialist tell me that the machine says everything is working fine and I’m breathing normally, however I still experience most of my apnea symptoms and I notice a huge difference of quality of sleep based on which position I sleep in, just like before I started treatment. Lying on my back is the worst, side is ok, and stomach seems best. Just like the overnight sleep test indicated without the CPAP.

Is it possible that my treatment is not 100% effective, and that I still suffer apnea, despite the computer saying I breath normally? I had 115,7 breathing pauses per hour (extreme). That’s like two per minute. Is it possible my body is "cheating" the machine?

Thanks so much!

tell me how I can get an apap machine? I cannot afford the test 2 Dr.s told me I should have the test since I cannot afford one, does anyone out there know how I can get one? Anything about it?

what classes do you need to be a sleep disorder specialist?

I am considering a procedure for my sleep apnea called "somnoplasty." The procuedure shrinks the base of the tongue by scarring it using radiofrequencies or microwaves. By reducing the size of the tongue base, breathing is eased, and apnea incidents are less frequent.

My question is: does scar tissue generally revert in time – will this solution most likely only be temporary? Please let me know your thoughts and thanks.

Husband has really bad case. Begged him to get the machine (told he needs it). As long as he can sleep, thats OK, (selfish I think) doesnt think about how I want to sleep with him. I have tryed ear plugs, fans, music , doesnt work. If he does not want to use the machine, what do I do.

I need some tips on living with someone with sleep apnea. My father was diagnosed while he was in prison with sleep apnea and was on a cpap machine. When he was released he was not on a cpap machine and has snored horribly, keeping me up all night. I've tried to talk him into doing a sleep study so he can get a cpap machine but he has told me numerous times that he wants to wait until he loses weight and gets his diabetes under control. His diabetes is under control, but he is still convinced that he will stop snoring once he loses weight. He doesn't realize that he snored just as bad as he is now when he was a healthy weight.

My room is right next to his, the walls are paper thin, I am losing so much sleep I don't know what to do anymore. Can anyone with this kind of experience give me some tips on how to get used to it?

I have been on one many years but he ordered setting 16 and the machine only went to 15..just got a new machine that goes to 20..company suggested I try 17 (as I was apparently still snoring even with cpap on) and go up in increments of 20 to see if it helps.

I have all the symptoms of sleep apnea (depression, memory loss, lack of concentration, no energy, always tired) except for morning headaches despite using cpap (at the setting 15).

I am wondering what effects will I immediately notice or notice with time if it is helping. He said his brother lost 60 pounds, is this because of more energy??

Please answer if you have any answers as I am most anxious to know if I am better after about 15 years on cpap with little benefit. I just used lst night for the 1st time, but don’t feel that different (although I did dream).

thanks
that last sentence should read anxious tio know if I will get better not if I am better
