How to relieve pressure on my lower back? And what is the best way to get better sleep?

My question is how do I relieve pressure on my lower back? Also what is the best sleeping position? I noticed when I go to sleep I sleep better on my stomach, but the problem is the lower back starts to sink and it causes me to have back pain in the morning. Then when I try sleeping on my side I can’t even fall asleep and if I sleep on my back I get sleep apnea episodes. I am trying to find a way so I can sleep better without any interruptions so that does incluses mattress and pillows. Anyone know what I can do?

Well if your having episodes of apnea, you need to tell your doctor so you can have a sleep study done. They may prescribe a C-pap device for you to sleep with at night. this would help greatly at night in relieving the apnea. This would allow you to sleep on your back, then you could try raising your legs on pillows or a cushion of some type. This will allow your lower back to drop into better alignment and be more straight during the night. This is probably why you sleep better on your stomach. Your apnea is reduced. Good luck…

Is there a way to see if my husband has sleep apnea without going in for an official (expensive) test?

He snores constantly and very loudly and is about 30 pounds overweight. I’m trying to encourage to eat better (or less) and move more, and I’m just wondering if he might have sleep apnea. Thanks!

Officially, you should have a sleep lab perform a comprehensive sleep study. You shouldn’t do what I did or listen to me (i didn’t go to med school), though the choice is yours. I was unable to afford a sleep study too. Instead of listening for snoring, you should stay awake and monitor your husband’s airway. Does his snoring become interrupted by gasps for hair? Do you observe his airway closing up momentarily during his sleep? If so, he most likely has Obstructive Sleep Apnea. My girlfriend observed these signs. I told my dentist and she was able to make a mouthpiece to wear to bed.

The mouthpiece significantly improved my symptoms and I sleep much better. Mouthpieces help some people, although CPAP machines are best for most cases. You cannot get a CPAP machine without a sleep study as it requires a prescription, only the dental mouthpiece can be obtained without a prescription. Of course, you should have a sleep study performed by a sleep lab. What I did is not consistent with proper diagnosis and treatment.
