I WAS DIAGNOSED IN 2001 WITH SLEEP APNEA AND RECEIVED A C PAP MACHINE. IT QUIT WORKING AND NOW THAT I AM RETIRED, JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT GETTING ANOTHER C PAP MACHINE SO I CAN REST AND SLEEP AT NIGHT. THANKS

Has any one had the surgery for obstructive sleep apnea. Were thay cut your soft pallet, your uvula, and tonsils. If you have had it or know some one that has. Did it help. And what was the recovery. Did it change your voice. And any think els I should know before I go get cut up.

i have been doing this for years but it seem like it is getting worse whenever i am sleeping sometimes i stop breathing and i wake up gasping for air i have had surgery a few times so that is how i found out about sleep apnea but i though that people who had sleep apnea needed machines so if i had it i would know but maybe i am just ignorant of what sleep apnea is can anyway tell me what is wrong with me?
when i say i had surgery i did not mean for sleep apnea i just mean surgery period before people usually cut you up they ask if you have it

I have been a sleep walker all my life and I need some answers. I get up in the middle of the night and eat. I don’t make meals anymore I used to. So how can I control

I’m thinking about seeing a doctor about it. After some time reading about the symptoms and their long-term affects, I feel like I’ve been missing out on what real sleep should feel like.

So, for those who have it or know something about it, I have a couple of questions:

1. With the following symptoms, would you say I’m pretty likely to have it?
- Overweight
- Sleep with my mouth open and wake up with dry mouth most mornings
- breathe through my mouth almost exclusively when I sleep
- irritable/anxious/depressed, especially in the afternoons/evenings
- never feel like I got enough sleep regardless of how long I slept
- Wife says I snore, sometimes quite loud
- Wake up intermittently without any reason, and then I have to go to the bathroom

My wife says she has never noticed me stop breathing or gasp for air, but she is a sound sleeper and always falls asleep before I do. She can get to sleep in like 10-15 minutes, while it takes me at least 30 minutes, sometimes an hour or two, and that’s after the melatonin has kicked in.

2. How long does it take to get used to a CPAP machine? Does it work?

just wanted to know what sort of work was involved with having an 11 month old baby with hypotonia (low muscle tone) which they think has only affected her from her neck up to her throat,nose and ears and also sleep apnea…. she has a ct scan booked and is being admitted to hospital in a few days!!! also getting bloods tested for about 12 different things…just wanted to know what other mothers/fathers went through so i know what to expect in the next few weeks/months/years and dont completely break down….
thanks

I have final exams in a few days, but everytime I sit down to study after about 30 minutes I feel sleepy. And whenI decide to sleep ,I sleep for over two hours!!!

Any ideas to keep me awake?

They want to run more tests but I have been with out that machine for days now, and I can tell a difference. I am so tired.
What can I do until I get a CPAP to sleep with, that I won’t be so tired?
I do not have obstructive but central sleep apnea.
I can really tell a difference in my energy when I use the CPAP. I contacted the DR but ehy want me to wait until I have taken more tests.

Now for some information. I recently underwent a sleep study for sleep apnea and after being sleep deprived for most of my adult life (I am 46) I am now using a CPAP machine. Since beginning this therapy I can’t sleep more than 6 hours per night and usually only 5. I awake refreshed and need no more sleep throughout the day. Is this common for people who begin using CPAP machines and will I require more sleep as time goes on. I have been using this for 6 months.
If you are using CPAP therapy I would appreciate your answers.

I have these aches that are sometimes just dull but sometimes very sharp. The pain is constant and mostly on my left side. I have had it for around five years and the doctors have not figured it out yet. I also have unusual weight gain, as much as 30 pounds in less than two weeks. I have symptoms of being pre diabetic and poor blood circulation in one part of my heart that led to sleep apnea. I look up conditions but nothing concrete.

also is there amedicine other than provigil that helps sleep apne related deppresion?

In which companiese, I can buy sleep apnea treament CPAP machine? Please list the CPAP dealers with company website so that I can compare the price and service. Million thanks!!
In which shop is better to buy CPAP machine in the USA

what is the disorder called it where you eat and immediately you have to sleep ?Not nocturnal sleep-related eating disorder (NS-RED) i have suffered from that.Like i said the person eats and then falls asleep.Thank

This has been going on for 6 months now when it happens it is her hands, feet and now her lips. She acts fine and is very active, i’ve been to the doctors multiple times and still i have no answers they have done an echo and blood work and the only thing they found out was that she has a small hole in her heart i guess it is the one that is most common and usually clears on its own…and they are telling me that it isn’t that i don’t know what to do i’ve been to one of the best hospitals in the area and no one can tell me what is wrong with her, they even did a sleep apnea test which turned out ok. It doesn’t happen all the time just randomly and mostly when she wakes up from a nap. can anyone help me figure this out i’m out of options and these doctors are treating me like i’m crazy.

I want to get a CPAP, I’ve been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, but I couldn’t make the appointment for them to find my correct pressure setting. How important is it to know that pressure setting? I want to buy my own CPAP machine but I don’t know what pressure to set it at.

I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and I have to sleep with a Bi-PAP machine. It doesn’t happen all the time, but on occasion I wake up belching alot with a stomach full of air.

My husband has a lot of trouble sleeping, and nothing we try helps him. He has to get up at 5am, and he tries to go to bed early. But if he sleeps early, he falls asleep for a short time, then wakes up and can’t go back to sleep for the rest of the night. And he keeps waking up in the middle of the night and often he can’t go back to sleep then, either.

He has tried three different medications: Ambien, Lunesta, and Rosarum, and none have helped. He has sleep apnea and has tried using a c-pap machine, and couldn’t tolerate it.

He has lowered his caffeine intake, but can’t eliminate it completely because he can’t wake up otherwise (waking up at 5am every day and not ever getting enough sleep).

Can anyone give us some advice on how he can get enough sleep?

Sometimes I’ll sleep for about 10-12 hours if I’m allowed to. Then when I’m in school I get an overpowering urge to fall asleep. By that I mean sometimes I’m fighting to stay awake and other times I’m listening to a lecture and suddenly it’s an hour later. Other sleep related conditions I have are Insomnia and Sleep Apnea.

Could I have hypersomnia? What are the exact symptoms of it? Is there a way to treat it?

i am just curious. i once was diagnosed with mono. i got it from someone coughing over me. since then i am always tired. i could sleep 10 hours and still be tired. i’ve also had dreams of being raped. i was wondering what are some sleep disorders. in which a person has violent dreams of being attacked. also sleep disorders involving, no matter how much i sleep i’m always tired. thanks.

I am concerned. I was previously diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I underwent surgery about 3.5 years ago. I was not the typical patient as I was only 29yo and not severely overweight. Apparently I had very large tonsels and a deviated septum that resulted in approx. 375 nightly arrousals. I used to get up 4-8 times a night to use the bathroom. The surgery seemed like a dream come true to me. My follow-up sleep study showed me to be cured and the night time bathroom trips went down to 1 or 2, which I could live with. I also lost a good amount of weight and my thinking and memory were much clearer. However, my sleeping has become not as restfull as it was and my nighttime bathroom visits have increased to 3 or 4, which is starting to scare me. My weight has also increased. Any thoughts as to what I should try? I wonder if the surgery helped but didnt completely treat the sleep apnea. The weight increase seemed to increase the bathroom visits. I am a 32yo male, athletic build, 5’6" 192lb (was down to 175lbs and feeling great). Will losing weight help reduce the symptoms? Why do I urinate so often? I was tested for diabetes isipidus and bladder volume etc, no problems. Any help is appreciated!!!

My father has Obstructive Sleep Apnea and will be going in for a sleep study soon so I am looking at CPAP Machines and doing research.

My father came across an add for this "Oral Appliance Therapy" thing and I am wondering if you have any info on if it works or if it is a scam.

I’m looking at the CPAP Machines and if you could share your stories with me, I would greatly appreciate it!

I just started recently, in the last month it has happened about 3 times. I dont have insurrance that would cover this for going to the doctor so i want that to be a last resort. I am a heavier set male, and my first thought was diabites but i have not had any other symptoms. Also, i was diagonosed with sleep apnea, but i never was able to get the machine for it. I also have been dealing with alot of congestion and difficulty breathing during the day….like i said any suggestions with out having to see a doc. would be good. Thanks,
Tom
I do have insurance it just doesn’t cover things like this…

He snores, stops breathing, and then starts breathing a few seconds later after choking. It is really loud and he doesn’t get a good night sleep because of it. It’s awful trying to sleep anywhere near him because it is so loud. Any advice on OTC or natural options? What works the best? He will hopefully visit a doctor soon to take care of it, but we’re both in college right now and he doesn’t have a lot of spare time to find a doctor and get an appointment.

what is the disorder called it where you eat and immediately you have to sleep ?Not nocturnal sleep-related eating disorder (NS-RED) i have suffered from that.Like i said the person eats and then falls asleep.Thank you
