Over 22 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, and over 90 million Americans snore. While not everyone that snores has sleep apnea, not everyone with sleep apnea may snore. Sebastian interviews Dr. Joel Gould to understand what really happens to your brain and body if you have sleep apnea, and when you should seek treatment (hint: right away).

I have sleep apnea and it can be a serious health problem. Not only making you tired during the day but can cause other health problems.

It's worth mentioning that sleep apnoea isn't always a full obstruction of the airway. That sure sounded like an obstructive apnoea to me though. Another idea is to get pulse oximetry data from an O2 ring or finger probe as that will show drops in O2 saturation. If you see lots of drops below 90%, you definitely need to get it treated. Even after you begin sleep therapy, O2 data helps to review therapy effectiveness.

this sounds just like my brother. he is pretty healthy but he had surgery on his nose and ever since then he snores and sometimes it sounds like he isn’t breathing. it’s scary. i wonder if he has sleep apnea too

Hey Iam 34 and usually wake up More Than 10 timmes at night and my sleep very shallow/light and my concentration and memory very poor. I wasn’t like that before . I dont know if that’s sleep apnea . Does anyone else has same sleep issue ?

@ReelEC Жыл бұрын

Get that sleep study asap! You wouldn't want things to get worse. The problem in Canada is that doctors don't proactively screen for apnea, even with children. I don't know how things are in the US, but it should be a standard practice to use the O2 ring intermittently throughout life to check things out. Sleep apnea screening needs to be more proactively pursed in all individuals considering the proliferation of it in society, especially for those who snore. It ultimately leads to cancer, diabetes, pinched nerves, chronic neck pain and probably a plethora of other issues. Sleep is the foundation of our health. Think of the savings in health care if we caught this earlier in individuals.

Monitor your Oxygen Saturation with an Pulse Oximeter. They record while you sleep and you can analyse with your computer the next day. If it measures never less than 90 % there is no need to worry. It's also important how long the value goes under a specific threshold.

How about daytime apnea? I tend to stop breathing several times when just going about my day. I get dizziness, headaches & BP spikes or dips (I check my bp at least 2ce daily & it varies considerably from v high to v low.) I'm usually alone, but when in a quiet room, reading, w others, various people have commented & urged me to 'BREATHE!' (I'm older but slim, fit & healthy.)

My boyfriend who has been on cpap for 28 years told me I had all the symptoms of sleep apnea. I went and bought a ResMed CPAP machine (NEW). I slept so good with it. My day fatigue went away, my blurry vision gone! I stopped wearing the machine for two years. Fatigue and blurry vision came back. I just re started the machine 3 nights ago. I feel So much better!

You no longer need to go to a sleep clinic to be be accurately diagnosed with sleep apnea. Just get a logging oximeter and wear it for a few nights. Even the cheap $30 models are far more accurate than they need to be to detect sleep apnea. If your oxygen levels don't frequently dip lower than 88% then you're just a snorer. Sleep apnea manifests as frequently and prolonged dips below 85%. People diagnosed with sleep apnea ALWAYS see evidence of it when subsequently using an oximeter at home. And everybody who isn't diagnosed with sleep apnea by a sleep clinic NEVER see evidence for it when subsequently using an oximeter at home (although they may see dips caused by a poor connection with the device or raising the sensor too far above the heart level). Anybody telling you that you need to pay thousands and spend the night in a sleep clinic to diagnose sleep apnea is lying to you. They'll uncover more detail, may identify the cause, provide treatment options and so on, but a home diagnosis with even a cheap oximeter is all you need to conclusive prove or disprove sleep apnea. Today's home sensors are just as accurate (use the exact same laser diodes) as the ones used by hospitals to measure your SpO2.

@brandon1902 Жыл бұрын

@Ve Yes, you need a prescription to get a cpap. But accurate and cheap home blood oxygen meters (e.g. logging oximeters) used over several nights can rule out sleep apnea with greater certainty than a single night in a sleep clinic, which often miss less pronounced, conditional or periodic sleep apnea. The large majority of people who go to an overnight sleep clinic don't have sleep apnea, and could have easily verified this themselves without needlessly wasting tons of money, resources and time sleeping overnight at a clinic. Only after you confirmed that you have sleep apnea do you need to get diagnosed and a prescription for a cpap.
