Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Sherry: How can an untreated aneurysm last for over eleven years without bursting ?
A close friend of mine claims an aneurysm was discovered on an X-ray in 1999 after a car wreck. He has not had surgery or treatment for it. If this is true, how is it that it hasn’t disected.

He also has had for many years:

Congestive heart failure
Severe asthma
Cellulitis of the legs
Sleep apnea
Obesity (well over 300 pounds)

Given all these conditions at once, how has he survived for so long. Since 2002 he had kept telling me his time was “short” until two years ago. He is now 65 years old. He has stopped telling me that because he knows I won’t believe him. Am I wrong in being suspicious about his sicknesses.

sounds like he has obesity-related problems, but is also a bit of a hypochondriac

Question by Wikobey: Last night = sleep study, but could not go to sleep until I masturbated. Will they know?? I had an EKG?
Im getting a surgery done, and before hand, my surgeon wants to know that I dont have sleep apnea, (stopping breathing during sleep/surgery) so they sent me to a sleep lab. I went in at 8PM…they wired me up…..I watched TV…..it didnt really wind me down that much…so I began to read…(which normally knocks me right out)….and when Im at HOME..right after reading i’ll turn the light off…then do a SELF Quickie….and go to sleep…well at the study…I was thinking to myself….Goodness come on now…there are plenty of nights that I dont masturbate…i’ll be fine tonight…but then 11PM hit…and then it began pushing 12Midnight… I had paid over $ 1,000 for this study, I HAD to go to sleep, b/c I dont want to return and repay…so I did the ONLY thing I could that would put me to sleep….I did it mostly without any movement (I am good at this hehe) I am just curious because I was having an EKG, through testing, would they be able to know I was up to ‘no good”????? The sleep tech was a woman my age, mid 20’s…and cool as heck, so really I dont care…im just wondering if they could tell through reading my body and mind was up to something….???

(b/c the sleep tech passes the test results on to a few other people … docs/etc) Thanks !!

well, I would answer this anonymous but I’ve been masturbating since 4 years old, and had to do it every night since to go to sleep. I’m 15 now, and the only nights I don’t have to masturbate is when I have sleep overs or I had sex.

I think I actually have some sex obbsession disorder, ever since I lost my virginity, I can’t go 3 weeks without having sex, without masturbating all night.

And one time I had a 10-day in a row sleep over, and I woke up masterbating in my sleep…. XD

And I think masurbation is a healthy part of life, and just about a lot of people do it.

The oxygen will help you breath better. I know someone who uses a cpap machine, and they said it took a while to work, but that it works really good now, and helps them a lot.

He did not like the idea about using a CPAP mask. Is this the ONLY treatment for sleep apnea? If it is, will he have to use it for the rest of his life?

Any body that uses something different? Thank you

I have avery large nasal polyps for the last 40 years.I was operated then but only my septim was scrapped and ultimately it collapsed in the middle. There is a big hole in the septum now, & the polyps push through the hole and block my entire nose tightly. No amount of nasal drops have any effect now. I also have obstructive sleep apnea, I am suffering terribly. What shall I do? I also suffer from hypertention(high blood pressure). I am not a diabetic. Am I a fit candidate for surgery? Is there any other way of removing the polyps? Please help.
