Re: Sleep Apnea
I received a photo of such a device that an American friend's wife just got because she has been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea ... she spent several nights at a Sleep diagnostic place before getting it.Redneck wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 6:21 pmI have just been diagnosed with Severe Sleep Obstructive Apnea with severe Hypoxia and Loud Snoring.

Don 't get frightened. I had a look online and they do come as a small nose piece, like this.

Re: Sleep Apnea
Thanks Nef!
I am sussing out all the types of machines and Masks!
I was a bit shocked when the Specialist showed me the results of my overnight test!

Re: Sleep Apnea
Yes unfortunately!
However maybe after getting proper sleep at night
and not sleeping through the day which is a result of not getting proper night sleep
I may actually lose a bit

Re: Sleep Apnea
Glad you got tested, it can be very dangerous!
If left untreated, sleep apnea can increase the risk of health problems, including: High blood pressure. Stroke. Heart failure, irregular heart beats, and heart attacks.

Re: Sleep Apnea
Good on you for admitting here.
Want me to be your personal trainer?
Will losing weight help sleep apnea?
Weight loss of just 10-15% can reduce the severity of OSA by 50% in moderately obese patients. Unfortunately, while weight loss can provide meaningful improvements in OSA, it usually does not lead to a complete cure, and many sleep apnea patients need additional therapies.
