Treatment for adult OSA must depend on the individual’s current physical condition, medical condition, and pertinent test results. Behavioral, mechanical and surgical methods are the most common forms of treatment for sleep apnea in adults.

Hi,

Most of it is correct, so good job
My version of it is as follows

Tratamiento:
El tratamiento para la Apnea Obstructiva del Sueño en adultos (AOS) depende de la condición física y clínica del individuo, además de los resultados de las pruebas pertinentes . Los tratamientos más comunes para la apnea del sueño consisten en procedimientos quirúrgicos, mecánicos y conductuales.

Tratamientos Conductuales:
Se recomienda a los pacientes con apnea del sueño que eviten el tabaco, el alcohol, los sedantes y en general cualquier fármaco que relaje las vias respiratorias y/o pueda comprometer la función respiratoria.
El ejercicio regular y la reducción de peso a menudo ayudan a los sujetos con grados leves y medios de esta afección a reducir los síntomas. Tambien se recomienda que dichos pacientes no duerman de espaldas.

Hope this helps

Painful recovery. I do have sleep apnea and am using a c-pap machine. Should I go through with the surgery or cancel?

If you think it will help you, you should go through with it. Surgery is so much easier and more comfortable these days. You will be carefully monitored and because of patient consumerism, and research into pain, your comfort will be a high priority.

I have one myself. Just call the airline and tell them the day before that you have one. Since it’s a medical device, you will be allowed an extra carry on and you will not be required to check it. Have a safe trip!

Hell – I’d never heard of it.

I haven’t got a clue, but appreciate how worrying that would be for you.

Do hope you are able to get the operation done and she is fine.

Question by aggylu: Does anyone have a happily ever after story with their bipolar parent?
My mother was diagnosed as bipolar about 5 years ago, after I had been out of her home several years. Previous diagnoses include depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, chronic insomnia, sleep apnea & hypoglycemia. She has visited half a dozen doctors to get these diagnoses. She continually cycles through taking medicine from 1 doctor as prescribed, to taking medicine from several docs who do not know she is doctor shopping, to all-herbal(and I mean like, 20 – 30 different supplements a day), to no medicine.
With each new diagnosis/treatment, she seems to believe that she has turned a corner. If I try to talk to her about behaviors that seem harmful, she becomes too tearful and sleepy to talk. Recently, she has done some very hurtful things. I’m beyond trying to confront her about it.
Does anyone have a similar situation that turned out well? I keep hoping for the best, but her behavior gets more erratic and hurtful as time goes by.

Umm if you mean will she be cured and live happily ever after know that it WILL NOT ever happen. her syptons can be controlled but she will not be cured there will always be problems though she can certainly live a normal stable happy life

Dont confront her about her behaviors shes bipolar and probably embarrassed by her own lack of control and you are certainly not helping
