Question by black_manta@sbcglobal.net: Sleep apnea surgery question?
I’m almost 40. I’ve been diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea. My doctor wants me to wear a mask at night to help me sleep. This doesn’t appeal to me. I asked about surgery and he wasn’t too keen about it. He said that the risks vs. benefits weren’t that great. Anyone ever gone through this or know anything about it?

My dad went through the surgery many years ago and it did almost nothing to help him. He was in a lot of pain afterwards and it took forever for it to heal. He finally just got the mask and machine and says it works the best. Too bad that surgery didn’t work.

Question by Mr Haun: Is the inability to breathe upon waking up, during sleep paralysis normal? or does this point to Sleep Apnea?
Throughout my life and even nowdays, but especially when I was 8-14, I have sleep paralysis but often times when I get this, I also cannot breathe and It is not until I panic that I wake up. I also note that at about age 19 when I began regularly using marijuana, the occurance, or at least realization, of sleep paralysis and not being able to breath while waking up has dramatically ceased and is very rare now.
