More (most) aggressive treatment for sleep apnea?

I had a UPPP surgery to help with my sleep apnea (CPAP machine-titration 19), it wasn’t effective. I would like to know what are other more aggressive options to help regulate my sleep apnea.

Not sure if they have one in your area, but the “Sleep Wellness Center”. I know the guy from the morning show I produce has sleep apnea. He used to fall asleep on air (no joking), and would be drousy during the day. He’s been fine ever since they diagnosed it and reccommended he use the machine he currently has… He swears by it.

grunting in my sleep?

im 7 weeks preg. and have 3 other kids. and ive been SOOO tired in the evening. ive been falling asleep on the couch, and within a couple of minutes of dozing off, i grunt and wake my self.its pretty funny, because my husbands usually right there and we laugh about it.. i was wondering if this is a sign of exhaustion. i read that this is common with sleep apnea, but im sure i dont have that. does anybody know? i think this happened w/ my last pregnancy too.

I do the exact same thing and I am currently pregnant with my 4th baby. I have an 19 year old who is pregnant with my grandson(first-time grandma), a 15 year old son and a 10 year old daughter and I don’t recall having this with any of them and doctor says it is due to my weight gain this time. With my first 3 I gained 14, 19 and 23 pounds and this time I have gained 41 pounds and the grunting and loud snoring waking me up from a snooze began around 5 months when I hit the 25-30 pound gain mark and had gotten a second chin kind of thing. They told me thats normal and goes away after the birth weight is gone so I don’t worry anymore and just got used to it that I don’t wake myself up as much any longer.

Has anyone lost weight once beginging sleep apnea treatment?

In the coming weeks I will start using the CPAP mask to treat my sleep apnea. My neurologist suggested I could lose roughly thirty pounds just by beginning the treatment. I am wondering if anyone has ever lost any weight once they started using a CPAP machine and if so, how much and over how long of a time? Everyone things my doctor is blowing smoke up my butt.

It sounds a bit hard to believe! I have never heard of it, but the doctor would be committing a serious error if he was lying or “joking” without making it clear that he was joking. I have done some research and nothing shows that weight loss is a side effect of the treatment.

Is it safe to use a cpap machine without a doctors prescription, even if you have all the symtoms .?

I have no insurance. My doctor has been wanting to send me for the sleep testing for the sleep apnea. I snore badly, sleep only 1 to 2 hours at a time. Just as tired when I wake up as I am when I go to sleep. No energy, tired, sleepy all day. I have gained 30 pounds in the last 6 months. I really can not afford to go to the doctor, especially this sleep test.

No it is not safe.. The sleep lab is to determine the pressure needed to open the airway verses output when you breathe out two much pressure you build up carbon dioxide in your body deadly over short time.. Go to sleep lab tell them work out plan. Proper setting makes you whole new person

Anybody with Sleep Apnia had any success with dental devices instead of CPAP machines?

Sleep apnea causes snoring so bad that my GF and I have to sleep in separate rooms. The sleep study only recommended a CPAP, no other alternatives were given. Right now a CPAP is way out of our budget, so we have been looking at Mandibular Advancement Devices -(MAD’s). Looking online I see a lot of places that will make them for you, but I am not finding reviews from people who actually use them. What are the Pro’s vs. Con’s of these devices? Has anybody had success or failure using them?

I would suggest maybe trying a snoring product before going with a CPAP. There are numerous products on the market that offer money back guarantees. My wife used to snore horribly and I bought her the My Snoring Solution jaw support and that worked wonders. Hope this helps

Know anything firsthand about sleep apnea? Having test and a little scared.?

I’m a big guy and I know that affects it. I want to die peacefully in my sleep, but I’d prefer it happened in my 90′s. Any ideas on treatments? I want to get back on an excercise routine (I used to be an athlete), but that’s hard when you are dead tired all the time. Anyone else know the feeling?

From the clinical perspective, you will feel soooooo much better once you are treated that you will be able to exercise, eat sensibly and have the energy to feel alert and revived when you wake up in the morning. Weight loss will be so much easier for you once you have started treatment and working with a good sleep physician.

I have a few good stories to tell you regarding that. A medical student had extremely severe sleep apnea, he lost over 180 lbs after being on CPAP.He was napping during his examinations and well on his way to being a Cardiologist. When retested he had absolutely no sleep apnea! He changed his lifestyle and started eating more chicken and fish, cut out smoking, started a walking exercise routine and played gulf once a week.

A long time mechanic was so sleep deprved from apnea he was falling asleep under cars he was fixing and weighed in over 300 lbs. He was about 5′ 5. He started his Bilevel treatment and lost 150 lbs. When retested, he had NO sleep apnea and also had changed his lifestyle by stopping smoking, eating less junk food and more veggies, exercising 4 times a week by brisk neighborhood walks and a treadmill he bought at a local thrift store.

I have been lucky enough to have participated in their care so I know it can happen.

The sleep study (Polysomnogram) is totally painless. But have someone take a picture cause you will want to be able to see the numerous wires all over you (and family members love seeing it).
I personally had one and it really isn’t bad. It takes about fifteen minutes to get used to all the gadgets on you then its smooth sailing the rest of the night. Don’t drink coffee or caffeine the day or your test so you can fall asleep quickly. If somethings uncomfortable, simply tell the technologist and they will assure its comfortable for sleeping.

CPAP is continuous positive airway pressure. It’s a small machine with a small mask that fits over you nose that forces regular room air into your throat creating an airway split. You wear it everytime you sleep, even when taking cat naps or when on vacation (and sleeping). If prescribed, remember to wear it when you sleep all the time. If you get nasal stuffiness, your physician can prescribe nasal steriods (sprays) and a humidifer that hooks to the CPAP unit. Just be sure to communicate with your physician during the first nights of treatment if you have any symptoms of nasal stuffiness so he can prescribe appropriate sprays and humidifiers.

Wishing you many nights of refreshing sleep!

Introduction to Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes breathing to stop during sleep for anywhere from ten seconds up to several minutes. These pauses in breathing, called apneas, can occur hundreds of times a night and are more likely to occur in certain positions, particularly when sleeping on the back. If apnea is severe enough, the sleeper wakes up gasping for breath and may never get more than five minutes of uninterrupted sleep all night. Sleep apnea is more prevalent in older individuals, men, and overweight people.

When apnea occurs, the cessation in breathing causes a drop in blood oxygen levels, forcing the heart to labor harder to keep the blood oxygenated. The brain sends strong signals to the body to make an all-out effort to start breathing again. The chest muscles heave and the lungs work hard to draw in air, usually accompanied by gasps and loud snorts. The sleeper rouses just enough to shift position. While normal people might experience four or five of these breathing-related arousals during the night, people with apnea have dozens, even hundreds, of apnea episodes every night.
“Apnea is an unrecognized killer, but it is hiding in plain sight. Every night more than 50 million Americans stop breathing. In a stunning evolutionary failure, nature endowed us with throats that tend to collapse during sleep and stop air flow but did not endow our sleeping brains with the ability to start breathing again calmly. At this breathless moment, the immediate future holds only two possibilities: death or waking up to breathe. In the worst cases, no air enters the lungs for 40, 50, 60 seconds, or longer. The muscles of the diaphragm struggle harder and harder against the blocked throat, without success. Carbon dioxide builds up in the bloodstream and the level of life-giving oxygen falls precipitously. After a minute or more the brain is panicking, suffocating, screaming out for oxygen. The skin and lips turn blue. Just when death seems imminent, the sleeper suddenly struggles awake and the tongue and throat muscles tighten, allowing oxygen to flood into the lungs in a series of gasping, snorting breaths. Oxygen is restored to the blood, and the fatal course is reversed. Instead of being alarmed and staying awake, the victim is immediately asleep again. After a few seconds, snoring begins-and the cycle starts again, repeating hundreds and hundreds a time a night.”

William C. Dement. MD: The Promise of Sleep

People who suffer from sleep apnea have a high risk of contracting hypertension, strokes, and heart disease. In severe cases, a sleep apnea victim may actually spend more time not breathing than breathing and may be at risk for death.

Sleep Apnea vs. Snoring

When you snore, the air you inhale is being forced to pass through partially blocked passages {such as the nostrils or the back of the throat). In other words, the air still flows when you are snoring. In contrast, during sleep apnea, the air flow stops completely.

How Does Apnea Interferes with Your Sleep?

Apnea severely interferes with sleep. During the sleep apnea episode, the victim is aroused just long enough to start breathing again, but not long enough to remember being awake. The chronic sleep disruption caused by sleep apnea may leave the victim feeling exhausted and sleepy during the day. In the morning, they will feel extremely groggy and unrested. They go through the day feeling sleepy and fatigued. The longer the condition persists, the more sleep-deprived they become.
This daytime sleepiness can be severe enough to cause automobile accidents. In a recent study, people who have sleep apnea are found to be seven times more likely to get into a car accident than the rest of the population.

See Your Medical Doctor When…

� Your spouse notices that your loud snoring is interrupted by pauses in breathing of ten seconds or more, perhaps followed by gruff snorts or gasps for air.
� You snore and also have high blood pressure, leg swelling, memory lapses, trouble concentrating or problems getting or maintaining erections.
You also complain of frequent daytime sleepiness or fall asleep during the day.

Hi, I have a CPAP machine for a mile case of sleep apnea but it isn’t very comfortable. I’m wondering if anyone would recommend any of the other devices available such as a mouthpiece, chin strap, special pillow, or any other device or method you may have tried? Thanks

you can start to investigate. But definitely talk to your primary care doc, and anyone who would have been involved with your original sleep study. There are different reasons for apnea so narrowing that down, would help you narrow down your best alternative/s.

I am gonna need a dental surgery and they can’t put me to sleep because I have sleep apnea.?

Do you think my surgery will hurt too much if I am awake?
By the looks of the answers I’ve gotten so far it may not be as bad as what I had imagined. The dental surgeon is gonna give me a consultation before I go in so I am still not fully certain if he’ll end up pulling two or three teeth. What I was told to expect is a root canal and that he will have to cut down into the back portion of my gums to get a very odd yet incomplete tooth that was broken some time ago from out of the upper back area of my mouth. All I can say to what I just typed spelling out my own dental situation is WOW.. as I have also half way pre-imagined some pain or stress to the situation before going in.
Thanks for the answers everyone.

Due to sleep apnea, you can’t be put under general anesthesia, which is the type you’re referring too. With a general anesthetic, they have to breath for you and that’s the problem. They can do other things, too, though. They can give you what’s called conscious sedation or twilight sleep. It’s not deep enough for them to put a breathing tube in you, but you do lose consciousness and it’s as if you were completely out in that you won’t remember a thing. I would ask your dentist if this is an appropriate alternative for you. If not, they can give you nitrous oxide, or what they call laughing gas. You’re awake completely but sedated somewhat. You’ll still be aware of what they are doing but you won’t care. They can couple this with an anesthetic which will numb the area and nerve so that you shouldn’t feel much or nothing. If it’s a root canal or other procedure where they must disturb the nerve or root, you might feel just a small pinch for a second but it won’t bother you too much. Or you can forgo any sedation and just have the anesthetic. If you at least had nitrous oxide along with the anesthetic, the little pinch won’t even bother you. I would ask your Dentist what the best thing would be for you if you can’t be under a general. Good luck!
