Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by ZBLOCKHEAD: Do you need to use one of them there CPAPS?
For sleep apnea. I gotta use one, keeps me from snoring. I didn’t realize that I had a severe case of sleep apnea until I took a sleep test.
Its kinda weird at first, but you get used to it after a while, it seems to help me sleep better. And that’s sticking pretty close to science fact.
(no more space aliens, I promise. Well, for a while, anyway) Although sleep apnea can cause some strange feelings and beliefs during one of those periods when breathing has stopped.

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 ♥ Shōjo-ai: My father needs to see a doctor for Sleep Issues… What tests should he ask for? What should he tell them?
OK, my father has been sleep talking, sleep walking, not being able to sleep through the night, all since he was a child. We think he might have depression and were told that part of his sleep walking and talking are due to emotional issues, he has sleep apnea, and he was diagnosed as having “Comprehension Problems” back in the 1960’s, which is now called “ADD”.

He sleeps so bad at night that he is tired all day and will fall asleep if he has to sit still for more then a few min’s… He can’t get through a 12 min episode of Squidbillies, let alone watching a movie or even a normal tv show.

He has just gotten health insurance through his job and I want to set up an appointment with a doctor for a “Sleep Study” but I have no idea what that means and what we should be looking for test-wise or even doctor-wise!

What sort of things should he look for in a doctor?

What kind of tests should they do for him?

What, in general, should he expect??
Cynthia, You got it in the first go… He is ALWAYS thinking… When he can’t stop thinking, he will go into the bathroom and read and start to fall asleep and actually add PAGES of plot onto the book he is reading so when he wakes up, he can’t find where he was because he added so much story line to the book!

OK, that makes a LOT of sense…

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWERS!

The doctor thing is more or less your opinion. You want someone who is nice or kind then find one of those. If you dont really care then thats up to you too. You obviously want a doctor who care about their patient enough to listen to you. Also look for someone with good marks. Someone with more schooling than some others.

A sleep study is basically where they hook you up to a machine and you go to sleep. It reads your brain waves to show whats going on. If your dad has problems sleeping it will show up on the test and show why he is having problems. Chances are that they will give him a sleep medication to take, and possibly something for his ADD. It all depends on his apnea. They dont want to conk him out too much to where he doesnt remember to breathe but they will want to make sure he is calm enough to acutally get a good nights sleep.

I would guess the main problem with his sleeping is the ADD itself. You have a million things running through your head at night because your still and trying to go to sleep. Lists of things to do, things you forgot. Half the time you want to get up and do those things causing you to loose even more sleep.

Going to the doctor is a great idea. Sleep study is also a really good idea. Just make sure you let them know about the apnea! That can be a very serious thing to know before taking medications. Although the doctors should get a full history before treating you, sometimes they forget.

Hope I helped you.
