Question by Christi C: How do you know if doctors are doing enough for your child if there is so much information for them to review?
My daughter’s lung collapsed at birth and after three weeks was released from the NICU with no medications or machines. She was sounding very congested and her Dr. finally referred her to an ENT. That Dr. found that her adnoids were growing down into her throat which caused apnea. She is too young for surgery but her apnea monitor sounds often. A sleep study has confirmed that her saturation (blood oxygen) dropped below 70 % at times and put her on oxygen at home when she sleeps which is quite the challenge. Since then she has also been diagnosed with PDA and ASD Heart diseases; Anemia (even with iron suppliments); high platelet count; pulmonary hypertension. I’m at my witts end! I feel that I’m seeing all these different doctors and no one is putting the information together. They are all puzzled at how healthy she looks to have all of these things wrong. Is anyone in a simular situation or could shed some light on what could be going on? She is so precious. God bless!

Question by John: Anyone have sleep apnea and using a BiPAP mask? How are you doing with it….?
…I have recently been using a CPAP (similar to BiPAP but different air pressures for when I inhale and exhale), and have been having trouble staying asleep – I either wake up every 2 hours, or I find that the mask has come off. Does it get easier with time? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!.

So the question is rather how to sleep better with sleep apnea right? Or how we do? I can only give you hints for sleep. Listening to relaxing music in low volume while trying to sleep
After doing exercise
After reading-a book, not the internet
After a shower and after eating -wait two hours before sleeping
If you masturbate, do it before sleeping but only if necessary hehe
Orange juice alone or flue medicine tend to make you sleepy
About the mask, well you just can find a way to hold it thigh and don’t wait until it comes off right?

I intend to to talk about the main kinds of sleep apnea as in a overview, then about diseases that have some kind of relation to them.
