    What Are Some Treatments For Sleep Apnea?

    By administrator | June 4, 2009

    My boyfriend has sleep apnea and snores. It has gotten progressively worse. I am not sure what to do. it seems when i elbow him, he stops temporarily but not long enough for me to fall alseep. It is often so back that it not only prevents me from sleeping but, once i fall asleep, it wakes me up again. HELP!

      Sleep apnea should be diagonsed from a reputable sleep clinic. There may be another reason for his snoring such as weight etc.
      The usual treatment is sleeping with a positive air flow machine (I think it is called Cpac. If he stops breathing his oxygen level goes down and it can be a very dangerous health condition. Have him see a Dr. that specializes in sleep problems.

      Sleep apnea is not something to laugh about, it can be very serious. Actually I know of people who have had heart attacks due to it. I would suggest that you get serious with your boyfriend about it, and get him to go to a doctor about it. He needs to go to a sleep center to get tested. They hook him up over night and check to see how many times he wakes up at night. If it’s bad enough they will rig him up with a sleeping mask which will push the air through his nose when he sleeps, stopping the snoring and allowing you to sleep. Of course most men fight the idea of wearing the damn masks as they aren’t very comfortable, and who wants to go to bed looking like Hannibal Lechter. There are also some operations, but they are quite invasive and don’t always work. I don’t recommend them.

      About 60% of the persons suffering from sleeping problems are overweight , so weight reduction, avoiding alcohol or sedatives before sleeping or mechanical devices which keep the windpipe open may be prescribed by doctors.More details and remedies at http://nosleep.in/sleepapnea.html
