Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Casey: sleep apnea/sleep paralysis/narcalepsy link?
i am going to be getting a sleep and nap study in mid january to test for narcalepsy and sleep apnea. the narcalepsy symptoms i have are REM Disorders (vivid dreams in 10 minute naps) since i can remember, always tired and lethargic since elementary school, always wanting to take naps and sleep late (ask my teachers and work) and started having sleep paralysis and hypnogogic hallucinations 3 years ago. i am 28 years old by the way.

i know that sleep apnea can cause excessive daytime sleepiness. i’m not sure i have sleep apnea but i snore tremendously and my husband notices i stop breathing sometimes, but not for very long. My question is, can lack of sleep cause narcalepsy and sleep paralysis to worsen or appear? i know it’s neurological but If one has sleep apnea for years and years, can this lead to sleep paralysis and narcalepsy symptoms? I can’t find anything to answer this question and would like to be as informed as possible before seeing my sleep doctor again. Thank you

u didn’t answer my question
i’m pretty sure i have sleep apnea
but if i have it, can it lead to slight symptoms of narcalepsy and full blown sleep paralysis like i have been experiencing my whole life??

I am not certain, but Apnea can get worse. So perhaps you had it in a milder form till now. I have never had problems till a couple years ago after surgery I was told that I had a sleep disorder. It turns out that my shallow breathing wakes me up about 26 times an hour (not all the way, just keeps me out of REM sleep). I’m also a Heroic snorer.

question this is my : Is there a link between sleep apnea and vinegar or cider vinegar normal? is vinegar to treat tiredness or fatigue? If this is not scientifically proven? Is it safe to vinegar, and regular medications are wearing? Best Thanks Answer: response the_only_solorose
amazing how these urban myths continue to circulate. None of what you said true ist.Ermüdung of sleep apnea is usually controlled by use of the device, CPAP, when you sleep. Add Sublingual B-12 will increase energy, but not vinegar …..
