Answer by Rick M
It varies a lot. Generally the more severe the sleep apnea, the sooner you will feel better. Don’t give up though. Sometimes it takes a month or more of regular use before you can actually feel the difference.

Question by GangRelatedKillings: How long does it take to take a SLEEP APNEA TEST? How many hours do I have to be asleep?
The doctor said I have to take this test cause I snore. And I don’t even snore loud. Man this is stupid I know I don’t have sleep apnea. But I have problems sleeping – so I usually get in like 4 hours at most then I wake up. Not from sleep apnea, from STRESS i have been thru in my life. So I don’t think i’mma be able to sleep more than 4 hours, maybe 3 depending on the environment. if I wake up should I pretend to be sleep again?

They send you home with a machine to wear for the night. Not very comfortable if you ask me.

And it is for the night. Then you return the machine and they read the tape information recorded for the night.

Talk to the doctor more about the stress and that for you sleeping.

Question by CherryGurlEh: How long does it take to die from sleep apnea? (Mature answers)?
Will it take weeks,months,days,weeks how long?
I’ve had it since February we went to the doctors but they wouldn’t listen so we are going back next week with the symptoms,it has now been 5 months now since I was diagnosed with the sleep apnea.
These are my symptoms of sleep apnea:
1.I fall asleep at inappropriate times and I am even tired in mornings.
2.I stop breathing for ten seconds without having anything on my mind at night.
3.I gasp or choke for breath.
Today at school it happened again when I was a bit tired after having a short sleep in class,and I went outside without a care in the world and it came back and my throat tightened and I was choking for breath it came back after a few seconds of gasping and choking.

Question by a13535: how long does it take for a child with edenoid hypertrophy to recover after surgery in his social development?
the child (4.5 yrs) suffered from sleep apnea as a result of the enlarged adenoid and his social development (esp. peer relationships) seemed to be delayed. his adenoid and tonsils were removed in a surgery so the sleep apnea seems to have been corrected. when can we expect that he catch up in his social development?

My cousin Robert had those problems. He is still an outcast at fifteen. He is VERY hard to get along with, and he had his adenoids out as a one or two year old.
