Sleep apnea solution

That guy just told my story. Dry mouth, high pressure machine setting, machine keeping me awake.

I would never try something life affecting without talking to a Dr.  Sleep Apnea can be a big deal if not properly cared for.  I use a CPAP, it's a pain and hard to get used to but I have, now it does not feel right if I'm not using it a night.  My snoring has stopped and I no longer wake every morning tired with headaches.  My wife sleeps more sound as she does not have to stay alert while trying to sleep, she would .... nudge me in the ribs a couple times a night so I would start breathing again so yea, talk to a Dr.  Don't follow the tape hype cure-all.  That works, til it doesn't......

Floyd is right. Sleep apnea is a complex serious disease. (Remember reggie white?) There are multiple types. Most are peripheral (usually your diaphragm can't move your fat stomach anymore) but a central case where your brain isn't sending proper nerve impulses to your diaphragm. CPAP is the gold standard but it certainly has significant drawbacks. A dental appliance can be a good alternative for a mild case when a doctor feels so. Tape strips are great when you got some congestion but not treatment for a life threatening disease

After using scba with the fire department for 38 years using a BiPAP was not too much of a problem, it does get aggravating at times though. Hauling it around when I am traveling is a pita. After running a sleep study they hooked me up to a cardiac monitor and discovered that my heart rate dropped to 30 at times during the night and sometimes would stop for a few seconds. I told the cardiologist that sounded like a good way to wake up dead and he agreed. So I got a pacemaker also (Micra implant, everything is inside my heart). 

A good friend of the family died of complications of sleep apnea. Mess around with that in mind, personally I’d go to a doctor I trust.

TBone, that is the challenge, ‘a doctor you can trust’. Nowadays, how can anybody trust a Dr.? Covid laid the medical community out to bare. Absolute crooks, money grubbing, deep state kabal loving ingrates.

See the world how you must.

Your other choice is to do nothing. Well, except ask the internet, everything there is accurate. Suit yourself, and I will too. What should I do about my heart condition and asthma?

Well, my sister did not get the vaccine, caught Covid, went to the hospital, where her life was saved.

Don’t like what all went on with Covid? Fine, don’t blame you.

So, somebody has questions about sleep apnea, potentially a deadly condition, and what, our advice should be don’t go to a doctor because you can’t trust them? How about that heart condition of mine? Probably should cancel my upcoming appointment with the cardiologist eh? After all, Covid!

Who would want to go to a doctor you don’t trust?
Would you marry a person you don’t trust?
Finding a doctor you trust is possible, it’s a challenge, but possible.

I have tried the tape method for 4 nights.  My mouth does not dry out.  I feel more rested too.  Found the tape at Dollar General.   Not a large roll but for $5 experiment it was reasonable.

anybody try this yet?
