This has finally explained why I wake in the night gasping for air. It also explains why my sleep is so disordered and out of time. Now all I have to do is work out what to do about it before it kills me.

Just watched this 11-year-old video, and it's by far the best illustration of my condition. Describes my condition perfectly, allowing me to understand what I'm dealing with. Thanks for an awesome video.

I was just recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. Watching this makes me feel like not sleeping anymore. But, I've decided to have my tonsils removed this July 2023. So, hopefully that will improve my sleep. This 11 year old video explains everything. The best video among all KZfaq videos that explains what is this disease all about.

Probably the best video I’ve seen all day

One of the best explanation video ive seen so far.

This is one of the best explanations of this topic I’ve seen. Wonderful.

The best video so far how explains the breathing issues with a serious healthy problem while we sleep, scarry, now I understand why the snoring and how dangerous it can affect to your healthy, now I know that I have issues breathing when I asleep 😴.

Informative. The graphics which accompanied the narrative really helped. Keep up the good work!

I have just been diagnosed after a sleep study. This is the only video which explains and illustrates this condition very well. This obstructive Sleep apnea looking back has been occuring with me for many many years.

I'm going for a sleeping test in two days, I know I snore but it is scary to think about Apnea. Let's hope all goes well and everything can be treated.

Great Illustration and explaination! I just took a sleep study and they told me that I had a lot of apnea episodes through the night. But this really helps me to understand better what is happening.

Great illustration and for free! Thanks so much. I am currently studying sleep medicine and your material is of great help.

This PERFECTLY explained my problem....... For some reason I noticed the past few nights I have been going to bed and after laying down for about 5 minutes my heart starts beating insanely fast and its because I am not breathing enough and I have to start taking in a bunch of air to catch up... Its really making me scared, I thought it was a heart problem because my heart would beat insanely fast and felt like an anxiety attack almost.... My legs started twitching more as well :( I gotta go to the doctor because Im freaking out.

Well done!!! What a ministry!

Excelente vídeo!!!!!

If your watching this i have the feeling you have been given the run around by so many sleep doctors.

Very interesting video thank you for showing it

Thank you for the demo and video

I woke up with my heart beating 156 beats a minute and my oxygen was 96 foot drop down to 90%. When this happens I literally scream it freaks me out so bad. I can’t get a sleep study until February unless there’s a cancellation. I am mid 50s and considered obese. This has change my mindset when it comes to food. Life is more important than anything you can eat.

thank you for information

Very informative. Thanks, ResMed.

Explained very well!

Thank you for great explanation in sleep apnea.

Ottimo video. Grazie

a Nice explanation , God bless you, I have similar case

amazing explanation, thanks a lot,Resmed

Such an informative video! Thanks so much.

In the past few months I yelp out loud as I fall asleep... I'm going tomorrow for my 2nd sleep study, the first one was in 1999. Removing the contact adhesive from my hair was really difficult that time so this time I'm better prepared. 99 - 107 times an hour my sleep was interrupted during my first sleep study. The doctor told me he had been doing sleep studies for almost 30 years & had never met anyone as severe as me. I had to change doctors twice & threatened to change from the third one because I knew I had a problem. They didn't want to send me for a sleep study because I'm slender, not a bit overweight. The third doctor had me wait two & a half months to see the new doctor coming to town "because he's also a psychiatrist." Then she congratulated herself for having sent me. Central Sleep Apnea is real & more recognized than it was back then. My last machine, a Bi-pap, was recalled & then stopped working anyway so I've been on my own without help for months now. I'm hoping to improve my quality of life with the newer equipment.

Un video instructivo de aspectos básicos de la Apnea de Sueño

great presentation

Great video for patient information

Good illustration

Great explanation. Also pls inf the treatment n remidies n exat causes.

I sure wish the doctors explained problems like you did! I've been passing out at work, losing jobs and running off the road for the past fifty years. Finally by coincidence I go to a pulmonary doctor for another problem and find out I have severe sleep apnea all of life.

Perfect presentation

Great video

nice video

Excellent explanation great👍

Nice video

This is an amazing video!!!!! No one should be disliking this video.

I think this video is wonderful! The only thing is, I think more focus should be placed on Centrally Related Sleep Apnea. Whilst it's not as common as Obstructive, It is in some ways worse, because in this form of sleep Disordered Breathing, SDB, the patient does not even attempt to breathe. They stop breathing, and it's because for some reason that the brain actually stops telling the patient to breathe. This is VERY SERIOUS!!

THANK YOUUU

*Normally when we sleep, the throat muscles keep our airway open so we can breathe in plenty of oxygen. When people suffer from sleep apnea, the airway narrows dangerously either because the throat muscles relax too much, the tongue and tonsils are too large in relation to the windpipe, or extra tissue from being overweight thickens the windpipe wall, narrowing the airway.*

Thanks

Sir please inf testing and confirming procedures n treatments. Pls soon. Thanks

Excellent teaching!!!

OK my GP told me I had this last year. It didn't worry me but the last 4 months I've been waking up exhausted with painful headaches and extreme fatigue. Sometimes I need to take a nap at about 10am after only being awake for 2 or 3 hours. After watching this I am so scared. I'm going back to my GP I want to get some kind of treatment.

Hola me gustaria que estos videos esten en españor por favor

helpful --- almost put me to sleep

You need to clarify that this *only demonstrates obstructive apnea, not central apnea. Many of us have central apnea.

how about those who tend to sleep sitting up but still snore.? thanks.

This is so useful! Would losing weight help though? I know I need to lose weight as a fact.

What about the puffing exhale during sleep??

I used to love sleep, now with UARS I dread it nightly. Going on 5 years.

Thank you for not explaining how to treat it you are a genius

Nice

Does therapy reverse any damage done?

why it does not mention anything about central apnea

Why we breath heavy during sleep?

Going on five year of UARS. No successful treatments so far. Of course cpap, oral appliance, soft palet surgery . All have been a waste.

I do not understand. Why in cosmetic surgery they can edit the jaw bone structure, attach cartilage, change the face ... That the treatment of sleep apnea can not cut muscle tissue, implant artificial ligament to hold the muscle Do not back down from sleep.

mine is possibly due to nasal congestion and im bed bound now due to extreme fatigue fibromyalgia etc can't hardly sleep total exhaustion 😭

Was this video done using a computer simulator because I really REALLY need to know. This is a very important question. PLEASE RESPOND. PLEASEEEE!!

Would a sleep study be able to detect "Flow Limitation"? I'm pretty sure that I have flow limitation, but not full on apnea.

Symptom yes treatment yes cause...

I have the opposite of sleepanea, i have difficulty breathing out while asleep, causing severe insomnia, i told my dr,he thinks im nuts

I- i'm cying right now beaucuz i can't breath good so i prayed😭❤❤🙏🙏😇😇

Any solution plzzz 🤲

Will a CPAP machine help to breathe better even with swollen turbinates?

some times I get bad sleep the nights that are the furthest away from my exercise days. does this mean that my body is so rested that it has trouble relaxing or something?

Actually, I think something different happens to me: I feel that I breath short and quick. Instead of deep and relaxing. Anyone knows why is this?

I'm scared to go sleep 😓😓

What is the treatment for it?

Not sure CPAP therapy is effective what should I do

What if I wake up with 100+ bpm, is it still breathing disorder?

Man at the beginning can't sleep because wife steals the bed.

When i sleep that time snoring coming from mouth ,please guide me ,how i control the snoring ?

This is fucking crazy why it happens to people

does anyone else have issues of removing your cpap mask In your sleep? I've gotten used to the air pressure so it doesn't bother me at all now, and I can usually fall asleep fine; BUT, an hr or 2 after I've fallen asleep, I take my mask off, and Don't know I've done it until time for me to get up. Arghh! very frustrating!! IF u do have any ideas, suggestions, etc, PLEASE SHARE WITH ME, I'm Sooo tired! LOL Thanks a bunch! ;') Sincerely, "Pooped in Ga", 😆

Extreemly anoying to have subtitles covering all grapics of interest...

:'(

When I asleep. I forget to inhale oxygen often

Not breathing god!!!

Does every one of these videos need to tell us that sleep is important for 3 min?? Comon

My mask smell like shit I need help cleaning it

This does not tell me a thing about using the equipment which uses knock off equipment
