Sleep Apnea Treatment

How bad is that on a scale of those with sleep apnea.

His test results read he stops breathing 32 times every hour that’s about every two minutes…can you get any worse than that?

I just want to make sure he is telling me all that he needs to tell me.
He doesn’t use the machine. He has only been tested….nothing given to him yet.

My son has obstructive sleep apnea and needs open-heart surgery to help get rid of the pressure in his lungs, I have heard that having a breathing tube in for the amount of time that the surgery is will cause complications when trying to remove it after…. is this information valid??

Just curious, little one likes to play. So I wondered if he holds his breath on purpose during night will the monitor record as not breathing.
The test will be done at home on a portable monitor.

My boyfriend has no insurance. He cannot afford a machine. He wakes tired from this condition and he is a carpenter. Hard work with power tools. I worry about him.

I do know what you are referring to. I did read in a medical journal awhile back about hyperactivity and symptoms similar to ADHD in children being related to a sleep disorder.
I did a quick yahoo search for you and here’s an article:http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/2004/10/sle…
