I had septum straightened now the roof of my mouth vibrates and my snoring increases my breathing isn’t great sleeping what happened?

My brother is a heroin addict and I knew long before my mom did that he had this problem, considering we are so close in age and have a lot of the same friends. I would try to tell her and it would just cause fights because she didn’t believe me claiming that she talked to him and their communication was good.
So my family has gone threw a lot in the past four years( like my mom and dad’s divorce and my mom loosing her job to get a worse paying one) and it has taken its tole on my mom and she has been really stressed and down. She was doing alright for a while but she went on medical leave claiming she had a sleeping problem like sleep apnea. When she went back to work my brother, who moved out about when she took her leave, admitted to having his addiction. I felt hurt and angry that she didn’t believe me but glad he was getting help.
Shortly after he came out about this she started acting weird and falling asleep a lot while she was driving and doing normal everyday stuff. I know this story is going to get a lot weirder and harder to believe but bare with me.
I started noticing these changes in her and she would stop by my brother’s house everyday after work to "check" on him and see how his treatment was going. I do believe she was checking on him for a few weeks but she started showing signs of using heroin the more I looked into her actions.
She was really lethargic and it scared me and I kept it to myself for a while and only told my boyfriend about my suspicions. I know the signs of what a person looks, acts and talks like when they are high on heroin because of the experience with my brother.
One day my mom brother and I went out to eat and when we were getting in the car, I was on the phone with my bf but slightly listening to my mom and bro (because she went on another one of her suspicious bathroom trips that she does so often) and I swore she said she was worried she dropped a balloon( meaning a balloon of heroin) and my brother even glanced at me as if to see if I heard her. So i confronted my mom later and she flipped out about how hurt she was by my accusation and at that point I thot I was making it up in my head. I later talked to them both about it and the deny it like anyone would. Now mind you people who are on drugs are very good lyers and are good at telling people everything is fine when its not. I have gone through my moms phone before and seen texts asking my brother for the usual dose and hit and other stuff like that and my brother saying he would need money and stuff. My mom has bad track marks also, which was what made me think all of this to begin with.
So I know it is not in my head and I know that she is using now and I am sad and hurt and angry and confused on why and I try to talk to her about it but she denies it and it does more damage than good at this point. So getting to the point, we recently got alot of money because my recently deceased grandmothers house sold and alot of the money is in her name. Not only am I worried about her health but she has been slacking off on work and is on her was to being fired. I still live with her and I am only 18 and still have high school to finish and I am really scared to stay living with her and watch her life be ruined but I have no job and my dad is outta the picture and I only have a few thousand dollars. I feel bad but I hate her so much right now for her decisions that I can hardly talk to her when she is obviously high and trying to hide it, Which is alot. I dont know what to do… I cant turn her in to the police i dont want to hurt her but I need her to know that I know what she is doing and I am not going to put up with it, BUT i cant really move out yet because I need to finish school… and I am so over whelmed by this situation its hard to even get up for school and I am really worried. I am already diagnosed with Panic Disorder so it puts more stress on me… i really need advise… please anyone… you could change my life by replying to this… sorry about the typing and spelling…
mmk well my bf is in the middle of being kicked outta his moms house, he is only 19 and he just got a job, he is probably going to live with his friend and i doubt i could live with them…

And the other dilemma is i don’t have my drivers license(but i have a car) and if i move out of my moms house and live on my own it will probably make me drop out of school and i wont graduate, because i live in such a rural town that there is no work and i need to move to the city… its just all so messed up.. its really hard to feel alone in life…
Wow ok so all the responses are great thanks everyone, but just for the record.. i have no friends or social life because of my panic disorder and the so called friends that i do have are distant and wouldnt know how to help me because they have freakishly perfect lives.. i have no trusted adult to talk to at all… all i can think of is to get a job and move out… even if that means putting off my high school diploma for a year or two to get settled… which sucks because i really enjoy learning and school… ps i dont want pity, just advise and someone to listen really… thank you all though…very much..

Over the past few years I’ve had my fair share of memory problems. Nothing too severe, just slight forgetfulness, and it really never impacted my life. Well, the last few months, I’ve been having severe forgetfulness. I forget names of friends and family members, how to spell simple words without using spell check, songs I used to play from memory on the piano, I forget appointments, simple daily tasks, and things people just shouldn’t be forgetting at my age. In addition to this, I have periodic dizzy spells, every day I have a headache of some form. Some days it’s nauseating migraine headache, and others just a slight pulsing pain. I’m also always feeling tired, I often get over 10 hours of sleep and it does help me, but I don’t always feel rejuvenated.

There are a few things that I suspect could be causing this. The #1 is my weight. Granted I don’t consider myself to be obese, I’m 5′8" and 253 pounds, but was over 275 in the summer, and am continuing to slowly lose weight, yet with the weight loss the symptoms have not subsided.
I’ve also suspected sleep apnea, I believe I have a deviated septum, as I simply cannot breathe through my nose, and I’ve awaken many times during the night because I closed my mouth and could not breathe.

I know I should definitely see a doctor, but I want to have all of my needed information before I go, as I cannot afford to go. If anyone has some advice or helpful tips, I would appreciate it. Just let me know if you need more info. Thanks for your help.
Just realized I didn’t post my age or gender. 23year old male.

I have sleep apnea and I sleep with a c-pap machine and and a humidifier nothing seems to work. What do you think I should do? I wake up in the morning throat is so dry that it takes a few hours for me to feel normal again. Anything you could do would be appreciated. Thank-you, dbolt55.

I always go to sleep after midnight and always wake up after noon. ( Iwork at home, at my own hours)
Whenever i try getting up early, like when i under-sleep and go to sleep ealier and get up early the next day, i usually get into a rhymn where i wake up at 4, go to sleep at 7(this has happened many times before) for a couple of weeks then slowly i go to sleep later and later, until i get back into my old cycle.
Do you think i have this disorder?

I had a heart cath done and they wouldnt give me anything because of my sleep apnea,and that is just a mild sedation,My question is I need neck surgery a major surgery,whats that going to do with my sleep apnea?I have severe sleep apnea and i am also a diabetic.Doesnt look to good uh?

Ive been with my bf for 4yrs and he has sleep apnea and right side heart failure when we first go together he was a chunky guy now he weighs 400lbs and it is making his sleep apnea and heart failure worse.he has a machine that he is supposed to sleep on every night but he does not and so he sleeps 18 to 20 hrs a day.Which doesn’t leave much room for anything else for him to do i work 3rd shift and he is home all day with the kids but when i get off of work i still have to clean up wash dishes and take care of the kids because he sleeps all day.And as for a sex life we don’t have one maybe once every two weeks we have sex because he is to tired.I don’t know what to do because i do love him but he want sleep on his machine or do anything that he is supposed to do for his heart failure i don’t want to leave him but i don’t want to wake up and find him dead or god forbid im at work and one of my kids finds him dead.I try to get him to walk with me because i am a bit overweight but i have been on diet now for 4months and when ever i ask him to walk with me he says no and that is one of the things his doctor wants him to do for his heart.He doesn’t even want to get up to do simple things he always calls the kids or me to do it HELP ME…WHAT SHOULD I DO?…sorry its so lng.

I would buy it there, but my daughter only likes there loft. It’s 1,799 which is really expensive. If you can’t get it anywhere else, does anyone know a place where they have really cool lofts my 13 year old daughter would like?

I was online and my dad did not sign out of his email account..I know it was wrong but I looked at his email and found emails he has written to a woman!! He wrote things like he and my mom have not had sex in ten years and he will not divorce her because there is to much money involved and my brother has a learning disability (he is 32 yrs old) it would break his heart….he wrote things in his emails about his love for this woman how much he loves her ect.. I felt sick to my stomach after reading them and wish i haven’t..I know my parents have had problems they sleep in separate bedrooms..my mom is always nagging him about money..I always though they slept in separate bedrooms because of his sleep apnea machine (my mom complains about the noise) but according to his email its that way because they just don’t sleep togther anymore–I don’t know how I am gonna look at my father after reading all this..

Recently diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. I woke up 113 times. A CPAP was recommended.

The lack of sleep has had left me depressed, fatigued constantly, severe body aches at times, irritable and have gained 35 pounds.

My question is whether anyone was in a similar situation with the mild apnea and the troublesome symptoms, and whether CPAP helped you.

I will have to pay several hundred dollars out of pocket, and wonder, given the diagnosis of "mild", is it worth the financial investment?
my 0xygen dropped to 93, which is good, I think. I am not sure how long…I don’t recall that info in the study and I don’t have it at hand.

Tell me what you would do or if you have had a similar experience. My baby has constantly been sick since Nov. with 2 bouts of RSV and continuous respiratory infections. He also has had a terrible wet cough nonstop. I’ve been to doctor after doctor. One doctor gave us a nebulizer, Singulair and suggested he had asthma or allergies but insisted the sicknesses were all viral and prescribed no antibiotic. I asked the the emergency room doctor (when he had RSV) why he was constantly getting sick and about his cough and he said he was just there to stabilize treatment and that I could drive 3 hours to the next town to consult an allergy specialist. He also called a few days later to say that the xray could POSSIBLY suggest pneumonia but couldn’t be sure and still no antibiotics. I went to another doctor and he said it was all viral respiratory infections because my son goes to daycare and that I"ll be thankful he’s building his immunity now. (I paid 0 for that great advice) Finally I just knew I had to keep trying and the doctor I went to today immediately said he had a sinus infection and prescribed antibiotics and is referring me to an ear, throat, and nose specialist to be evaulated for sleep apnea or infected tonsils since he hasn’t been wanting to eat. It makes me so angry at the other doctors for causing my son to suffer so long. They just seemed to shrug their shoulders and say there was nothing they could do. I even found on the internet that all his symptoms matched sinusitus and bronchitis but these doctors are such idiots they couldn’t figure it out! They just chalked it up to daycare and allergies. So I think when we go to this specialist I will have them fax all his results to these idiots so maybe they can learn from their mistakes. Is there some rule now that doctors don’t prescribe antibiotics anymore?! Just listening to me son breathe I could hear the rattle in his chest and his swollen sinuses. They just acted like oh well, he’s playing so he’s fine. What else is he supposed to do, be on his deathbed in order to get help? He’s just making the best of it even though he has been feeling very badly.

I don’t smoke or drink and if I lose anymore weight the wind will blow me away. (125 lbs)

I have a few health problems and I am looking for life insurance. I have sleep apnea (I use the machine), COPD (Chronic Bronchitis), and possibly Emphysema (tests being run). My doctor said that nothing is life threatening at this point.

Anyone know of any good life insurance companies that work with someone who has health issues? I have two small children and I really would like to rest assured they will be taken care of.

I have had mood swings (not to serious) difficulty consentrating, insomnia at night, restless sleeping, really tired during the day, surges of energy every now and again what could this be I have looked up sleep apnea but not many of the symptoms apply I have ahd this for over a year on and off and never told my mom because it wasn’t to serious I am almost 13 if that matter and I have my period ( this was going on before I started my period) Sorry for the guys u should be used to that kind of talk by now!
Thanks I would like some websites to but if u can’t just telling me what u think it just as good ")
OH and temperary depression I usually eat my way out of depression also

My dad’s just been diagnosed with sleep apnea and after having tiredness problems for years and being fobbed off by drs’ for years, I want to get tested for sleep apnea too. But I’m anxious the dr will say no, just diet and exercise and you should be fine…Like the one older dr said last time, when my usual dr wasn’t available. But I’m tired most of the time I can’t be bothered. I get in from work, wash my work clothes, eat a microwave meal, then go to bed. Just recently my sleep’s gotten worse. I’ll get in and with no work the next day, I’ll have dinner then sleep from 7.30 to 6am! No break in between. Most tests I’ve had I had to ask for, iron test, diabetes test, all fine. So any tips for asking my doctor?

I get horrible sleep usually and end up peeing several times a night. Could I have sleep apnea?

Hi. I’m a 16 year old male. Im around 6′1 and weigh around 220 lbs. Recently I came across a video that shows you how to go into sleep paralysis or something like that..where you basically let your body fall asleep while your mind is awake. He briefly stated that this is a way to find out if you have sleep apnea.
So I tried the method he suggested and what I noticed is was when I was in this state..I would stop breathing (which is what he described sleep apnea to be) and not notice for around 5 seconds in which I would realize that I wasn’t breathing.

I wasn’t sure if I was just making stuff up in my mind so I looked further into sleep apnea. After reading the symptons it really started to get me thinking that i might suffer sleep apnea..
Im always tired in the day. Even if I go to bed at around 10 PM and wake up at 6AM (8 hrs rest..that seems good) i feel pretty tired..usualy throughout the whole day. Also I read that it occurs more to overweight people (I am some overweight, not obese though).
the website which i got the information from was http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/SleepApnea/SleepApnea_WhatIs.html

Do you think it is possible for me to have sleep apnea? alot of these symptoms sound similar to mine..yet i don’t think i snore too much (which seems to be a big one)

I have sleep apnea and wear a cpap machine at night. For the past couple of weeks I have been getting this shock feeling on my tongue. It wakes me up. Sometimes it hurts really bad and other times not so much. I thought I was getting shocked by my cpap machine but I don’t think that is it. Can anyone tell me what this could be?
No I have not.

Ok I know kids throw fit all the time i know this but my sons being this way since he was born….when he was a baby he could be either sleeping or awake and be content and calm and outta no where scream his head off throw up his hands and kick his feet. Now he is older (2 years old) we could be playing, watching a movie, out at the park, talking, having a good time he coulkd be giggling or having a wonderful time out no where he stops what he is doing whips whatevers in his hand (if anything is in his hand) and throws him self on the floor kicking and screaming for no reason….no he does have some problems he wears glasses cos he cant see without em, has a weak heart, sleep apnea, asthma..he walks he rarely talks to..but this all of a sudden bizarre behaviour has people concerened the doctors say they dont know and further treatment is neccesary…..does any one know why he does this??
maybe he has a type of syndrome or disease idk please help!!!

PLEASE NO RUDE, INAPPROPRIATE REMARKS

Is it better to study before you go to sleep or after you are awake.

he removed buckle 7 days back because retina was firmly attached and by gods grace my vision is very good,now can i use c-pap machine i am suffering from sleep apnea and i was using this machine to sleep it regulates breathing.can this machine disturb my retina,because of its air pressure pl reply.

For sleep apnea. I gotta use one, keeps me from snoring. I didn’t realize that I had a severe case of sleep apnea until I took a sleep test.
Its kinda weird at first, but you get used to it after a while, it seems to help me sleep better. And that’s sticking pretty close to science fact.
(no more space aliens, I promise. Well, for a while, anyway) Although sleep apnea can cause some strange feelings and beliefs during one of those periods when breathing has stopped.
