I am having a sleep apnea test done soon and may have to use the machine. I had the sleep apnea long time ago but I couldn't get used to the machine so I sent it back.

I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea recently and have started using the C-Pap machine at night, but i find that i wake up in the middle of the night and take it off because i can't seem to use it right when i roll over . It's frustrating. I just want to sleep thru the night. Any suggestions?

I believe I have sleep apnea, but because I am currently in a residential treatment program, I am unable to go to an overnight sleep study.
Is there an alternative method with which I can be tested for sleep apnea?

My husband suffers from sleep apnea and as of now using a C Pap machine. He hates it and is not looking forward to using it all his life.

He has schedule surgery in June. I think he'll get is uvula taken out and part of the pallate taken off to make a wide space. His doctor said it's not an 'end all' solution, but should improve things.

If you have had a surgery for apnea, what kind of surgery was it and how much did your apnea improve?

I know he has sleep apnea and the only treatment for it is a forced air machine. In the meantime he is not getting any quality sleep and is affecting his daily life!! Please Help Us!!

I am doing an assignment on the mental conditions caused after a person is diagnosed with sleep apnea.

I've had treatments for depression for about 3 years now. None of the depression treatments such as medication and ECT helped.

I recently suspected sleep apnea and went for an overnight sleep study. They confirmed that I was experiencing sleep apnea, and I had a partial night's rest using the CPAP machine at the testing location, but it wasn't a full night's rest using it.

The test was last weekend, and they said it would be 7-10 days for a doctor to analyze the data and get back to me. I won't know how severe my sleep apnea is until I hear from the doc…

I was wondering if anyone would like to share their sleep apnea problems and solutions, and how well they did (or didn't) work. I'm especially interested in anyone's story involving depression, either due to or made worse by sleep apnea.

I'm not terribly overweight, 6ft 1in and 220 lbs, but the doc said I have a very narrow throat, and my severe allergies and sinus problems play a role.

I appreciate anyone's storys!

What are symptoms of sleep apnea? I'm 14 and am overweight. I always feel tired even though I get 8 hours of sleep everyday.

We have tried for two years now, and still nothing. My period has been non-existent for about a year now. We are not using any birth control (obviously). My doctor says it's just because of my sleep apnea. I already have a son from a previous relationship. Any suggestions?
I have a CPAP machine and have had it for about a month now.

I was diagnosed with a mild form of sleep apnea. I have tried a CPAP machine and couldn't adjust to it. My doctor said I wouldn't be a good candidate for surgery. I'm considering a dental device (mouth piece), but wanted to know if there are alternative methods.

I had a wisdom tooth pulled Friday, and it is now Sunday night. Is it safe to use my CPAP machine yet for my sleep apnea? I don't want to cause a dry socket or anything.

I want to fly to the Philippines next near but I can't bring my sleep apnea machine with me because it's too large. I have to wait until I get to the VA Clinic in Manila to borrow one of theirs. Meanwhile, on the airplane, does the airplane provide a mask for me in order for me to sleep comfortably?

If you don't use a sleep apnea machine and you have had a open heart surgery 5 yrs ago, can it put you at a huge risk of heart attack or whatever……and could die too??

I have sleep apnea and have a tonsillectomy scheduled for later this year. How well does this fix sleep apnea?

(sorry for the grammer and spelling)
So far i found out that tissues at the back of your throat are collapsing and that's normal but the thing that prevents it from collapsing is the problem.

Well, my cousin's son (infant) is having a problem breathing and some doctors said that there is something wrong with the brain (the neurons go to something, i don't know; i'm sorry). The probable diagnosis was central end-peripheral sleep apnea or obstructive sleep apnea.

My fiance has sleep apnea and needs a sleep test done so that he can get the machine to help make it better. He has no insurance as he is out of work. We have been trying to find free sleep tests in Ohio but have had no luck.
