what other health issues that are like sleep apnea?
Posted by: Alan in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, tags: Apnea., Health, Issues, Like, Sleep
Dr. says I may have sleep apnea. But I’m not overweight or even heavy; I don’t snore or drink alcohol or smoke or anything like that. But the second I lay dow, my breathing gets a little-just a little hard and when I’m aut to fall asleep, I stop breathing. I had asthma when Iwas a lot younger but those symptoms don’t resemble asthma either. What could be wrong?

While being overweight, drinking, smoking and more can put you at risk for sleep apnea, anyone can get it. That is your condition – that’s what’s wrong with you.

Until you’ve had a sleep study done don’t assume its sleep apnea. Many other health conditions can have these symptoms as well. So your doctor says you “may” have it but has he suggested a sleep study yet? I think that should be your next step.

I discovered a couple of weeks ago that additional weight is not constantly thanks to additional body fat, a lot of unwanted weight is basically sitting around in the pipes. I tested a brand new supplement that is taking the country by storm, it flushes out the pipes. I don’t know how it operates however I know that I melted away 17 pounds and 5 inches from my waistline!

The air travels past the soft palate, uvula, tonsils, and tongue. When a person is awake, the muscles in the back of the throat tighten to hold these structures in place preventing them from collapsing into the airway. During sleep, these structures can fall into the airway causing snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. I think this is your problem.
