Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by : Snore treatments, what are a waste of money?
I was looking in Boots (the chemist/pharmicist) and there were throat sprays, an acupuncture ring and of course a mouth piece thing you wear to realign your jaw. Are these treatments, well the spray and ring just manufacturers playing on people’s insecurities to make money or are they worth a go? I don’t have sleep apnea by the way.

I know I don’t have sleep apnea because I took this pack home and it tested me while I was sleeping. Apparently, I scored 8 out of 40 and so had very mild sleep apnea. Consequently, the doctor said I should go and see the ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist) . The ENT doc said i could try the mouth guard thing made up by dentist. i do have TMJ problem though so not too optimistic about that.

Question by scoot: Any sleep tips for me? Tonsils are huge and cause me to snore and stop breathing, surgery soon…?
I am in college and I have huge tonsils that basically cause me to have sleep apnea. I had a sleep study and I stopped breathing and woke up 12 times within 5 hours and never went into stage 4 sleep. I don’t sleep well at all, and when I wake up I feel like I didn’t get any sleep. I have slept through my 8 am class for 4 weeks now! I’m blessed that it doesn’t have an attendance requirement! But it is still a problem. My doctor prescribed me Lunesta which is helping a little bit but still not getting me out of bed in the morning. I am literally so tired I can’t move and feel like a dead person when I wake up. Any suggestions?

and by the way I go to bed around 9:30-10 every night so im not staying up late….

thank you!
forgot to add this, i am getting my tonsils out on november 24th… what can i do until then to get adequate rest and be able to get up in the morning?

basically what you should do is get them removed. this is what happened to me. it took me 2 weeks to recover so you would have to think about that.

. It is a little bit price-y but hey if you know of someone who can’t sleep and you they have that sleep apnea and are at risk for even death then the price should be covered by insurance I think. Any one know if it is covered by insurance? What do you think of the new device to stop snoring? Sounds like a good idea to me, if anyone has gets more information please tell me. Thanks

I like the one that said she was afraid she might actually kill him… and where it says they both snore and even the ones where they say sleeping in another room is cheaper. Oh I just pictured all of us talking about it and laughing our socks off. To hilarious

Question by Noel: Will I Not be allowed to go to Boot Camp if I snore too loud?
I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, which means that I not only snore, I snore TERRIBLY loud… I know that In boot camp, you sleep in the same room as all your other sailor brothers, so If my snoring is keeping them awake at night, are they not going to allow me to go through boot camp and therefore discharge me from the Navy?

I dont think they can discharge you for such a ridiculous reason. You will probably get a lot of flak from your bunk mates though.
