Default Re: sleeping problems anyone

[ QUOTE ]
Sleep apnea. I have asked my doctor about this. He didn't seem concerned.

[/ QUOTE ]
What questions did he ask you? What did you tell him?

[ QUOTE ]
Is there anyway to tell you suffer from this with out going to a sleep clinic?

[/ QUOTE ]
A sleep study provides an accurate and firm diagnosis. But you can look at different things and get a pretty good idea if you have sleep apnea without having a sleep study. Do you have morning headaches? Do you frequently wake up sweating? What is your height/weight? There is plenty of info on the web about this.

Do the nose strips help to stop apnea?

[/ QUOTE ]No, not unless the problem has to do with your nose.

I just had UPPP and tongue reduction surgeries for sleep apnea, yesterday. I posted about this a while back. I promised to provide updates regarding results. But as of right now it is too early to tell. But I can say for sure that even with all of the pain, my breathing feels more free throughout my throat/head.

Sorry if my response seems clouded, I am heavily under the influence of liquid Lortab.
