Sleep apnea
Does anybody have this? My doc is telling me I have it, and I need to go get a sleep study done. Apparently my spo2 number takes a LOT of dips with some pretty severe ones mixed in. So I thought I would ask here to see if anybody has this and if they have any advice or insight. He told me to anticipate a CPAP after I see the pulmonologist, but that's still a ways off before I can get in there.
I tried antifreeze, but that just turned my tongue a greenish color. |

Try to get an aids tree next to your bed. Helps clear up the air.

That's why I went the Dr route with this one after the failed antifreeze run. |

Try the doctor first (and in all seriousness get a 2 way cpap if you require one. friend of mine has the one way and it drives him nuts.), and if he fails I'd try some more anti freeze just to be safe. |

There are a few threads here about it.
Advice--DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!!!!!!!! I stopped breathing 12 times an hour. Now down to 1-2 ave with my CPAP. Headaches went away. Rarely if ever take Excedrin migraine where I used to take it 3-4 times a week. Acid reflux all but gone (from snoring too much). Not tired an hour after waking. Other internal things are better. Well worth the time.

And thanks for the link. I should have just searched from the get go, but I didn't remember there being a thread on it. I guess memory loss really is a side effect. |

You should start by setting up a camera to watch you while you sleep just to make sure it is not being caused by a CP member t-bagging you, if by chance it is not I would try and getting your sleep test and cpap ASAP, you will feel better and reduce the chance of death.

I did the at-home sleep test, well, it was just an overnight oximeter and pulse monitor. It told enough of a story to alarm my doc. I already had an appt set with a pulmo, but its not for another 4 or 5 weeks. have you tried the mouthguard thing? Do any of them work, or help out? I'm kind of curious to try one in the short term before I actually get to talk to the expert. |

If you do that type of video taping I'm sure you already have it mouth guard

Isn't all sleep apnea is about is sleeping on your back and having a double chin?
