Comment on Q&A: How to treat sleep apnea? What is the best way? by (TLS) Matthew 24:27

Listen, I would not Trust Acupressure,

I know that a CPAP Machine is a Pain in the Butt, But it is the only Viable option, one other is Surgery to remove the Fatty Tissue that Closes during sleep causing the apnea, another is Tracheotomy Tube
(A Hole in your throat with a Tube) But this is Drastic and is risky as your air is unfiltered by your nose and subjects you to infection.

CPAP is a Pain, but at least it is better than being Dead,

Ohh One other way, If you are overweight that is what is causing it, lose the weight, if you smoke? that adds to it, Stop Smoking, lose the weight, or put up with the machine.

Comment on 78 Year old woman refuses to use CPAP or nebulizer.? by Kath Hope - Hope2Sleep

So sorry to hear this, and like the other poster has implied, it’s a severe risk to her mortality! When you say your mother refuses to use her nebulizer and CPAP machine, do you mean she ‘won’t’ or feels she ‘can’t'? It could be because she’s feeling so ill, weak and sleep-deprived that she just feels she has no energy to even help herself, plus she’s probably depressed.

I’m no expert regarding nebulizers, but I do know that with COPD and Sleep Apnoea, CPAP can be very hard to tolerate as she’ll feel she can’t breathe against the pressure. People with COPD are normally given a BiPAP machine with oxygen as well, so if she hasn’t, then this needs sorting out, as well as a good talk with her doctor to point out the seriousness of both COPD and Sleep Apnoea.

Best of luck……!

When you go to sleep and dream, your brain makes it so that your body can’t move, because otherwise you might try to act out your dream. So when you wake up and can’t move, it’s because your brain still has your body “locked” and sometimes it takes a while for your brain to unlock it. It’s terrifying for people who don’t know what’s going on, obviously. I’m not sure if it’s something your doctor can help you with, but it wouldn’t hurt to ask him. There may be a relaxing method that you can use to get out of it. The main thing is to remain calm though. I hope this helps! (And you probably don’t need to worry too much about aliens) :]

I agree with the person above, sounds like sleep paralysis – i used to get it all the time, it is awful! What happens is that you wake up but your brain thinks you are still asleep. I’m 21 now and i haven’t had for like a year so maybe as you get older it will go away. I don’t think its aliens tho!! Lol

Mucho de los desordenes de sueño pueden llevar a serios problemas si no se tratan. Por ejemplo, la Apnea Obstructiva del Sueño (OSA), un desorden que afecta a más de 20 millones de Americanos, puede llevar a serios problemas cardiovasculares y neurológicos. Sin embargo, siendo tratados, los pacientes con Apnea reducen el riesgo de estas serias condiciones y mejoran dramáticamente la calidad de sus vidas.
