cpap device snoring

Hi you can try a snoring mouth guard as an alternative to CPAP. This is what my husband and I are both using for our sleep apnea (throat airway obstruction) http://slumberguard.com.

I am a 42 year old male who was just diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea with snoring but is intolerant of the CPAP. I am currently using an oral devise which forces my forward. I would like to to know if sleep apnea directly related to heart disease can it be reversed with the start of a CPAP or an oral devise?

I am a 59 year old T2 diabetic male with stent, sleep apnea, and pacemaker/defibrillator. Get a another doctor who can schedule tests for your heart and a trip to a sleep study lab. Been through all that. I had a heart attack, without the classic symptoms, four years ago. A 90% blockage necessitated a stent. I also developed congestive heart failure that led to the heart device implant. I'm just recovering from the surgery but can feel some progress.

The most common treatment for sleep apnea is the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, which helps the airway open during sleep by means of a flow of pressurized air into the throat. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding alcohol or muscle relaxants, losing weight, and quitting smoking ,ay also help. Take care and best regards..

My husband started using a CPAP device about two months ago. He loves to sleep on this stomach with his head buried in a pillow. He can't tolerate any head gear except a full nasal mask! (We don't agree on much. lol) We both love the humidity though JB. I'm guessing that's what you mean about the heated hose? One CAUTION. Be sure to keep the machine lower than your head when you run humidity.

I have seen many specialists in regards to my snoring and sleep apnea (mild - did a sleep study 4 years ago, I am sure that my sleep apnea has worsen a bit). Some of the different specialists that I have seen are: ENT docs, Otolaryngologists, Internal Medicine/Respirologist, Dentist, and Sleep Disorder doctor. I have tried the CPAP for 2 years (hate it) and I am currently using the mouth-guard (where my jaw is moved forward).

If your nose is stuffed up, take care of that first by seeing an ENT doctor. Having open nasal passageways is important if you want to eventually benefit from sleep apnea treatment options, especially with CPAP. Once your nose is open, give CPAP another try. There are many ways of gradually adjusting to using CPAP.

t found a device that does all 3. It would be nice to have a device that would catch arrhythmia just in case that's an issue). I don't know what other questions to ask. Help!

I have sleep apnea. I hate using the CPAP! I do not sleep any better with it. I wake up with my stomach bloated with air, or I wake up with an extremely dry mouth, or I wake up with air leaking out of the side of the mask... every night, not just some times. I tried two different masks to no avail. I am looking into surgery.

I read an article in the San Francisco Chronicle about treatments for snoring and sleep apnea and I watched the snoring clinic's testimonials on YouTube as well (just search for the clinic's name). Hopefully that will help with your decision. The article is entitled, "Say Goodnight to Snoring with simple surgeries," . It goes in depth about some of the treatments now available in San Francisco medical clinic, http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?

thanks for the response. another question. i don't want to wear a cpap so i got an appliance that pushes my lower jaw forward. it seemed to be working, but it makes my jaw hurt so bad throughout the day that i had to stop wearing it. just how dangerous is it to not wear anything?

After falling asleep driving, I had a sleep study, have used CPAP regularly for years. My wife loves it, as I am no longer keeping her awake with loud snoring. I am far more alert during the day, seldom take a nap now, whereas before, I fell asleep often on my computer, watching TV. I consider CPAP a lifesaver. Being concerned about the danger of a dirty CPAP, I now have SoClean, just need to make sure I use it regularly, still trying to get in a routine with it.

My husband is 39, and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 35. He is not overweight, in fact, he was always slender but lost even more weight after getting diabetes, so he's very slim. He snores so heavily, we hardly ever sleep in the same room anymore, because I just can't take it. He stops breathing quite often, and "jerks" awake with a loud snore frequently. He also drinks and smokes, although he has cut down, his snoring is worse after he's had alcohol.

I have about 6 years on CPAP, or about 15,000 hours. The device is a small air compressor that provides positive air pressure to literally "splint" the air way open to prevent it from collapsing in. Pressures settings can vary from 6cm/H2O up to over 22cm/H2O. Pressure has nothing to do with severity of the condition. Mine is very severe, yet I require only a "7" to clear it. Sleep position has little to do with causing the obstruction.

It is the size of an Ipod. I guess they insert a device in the neck and the device sends an electric impulse to the tongue to prevent obstruction of the airway. sounds great hope it works.

There are times when surgery can help snoring or mild sleep apnea, but all those I know personally and all I have talked to except one still had sleep apnea after surgery. If your doctor is an ENT, they will likely recommend surgery on your throat. If a doctor is a pulmonologist, they'll likely recommend cpap treatment. If the doctor is a dentist, they will likely recommend an oral device. After all, it is their field of expertise.

I recall while in the hospital the nurses doing their rounds mentioned my snoring and were concerned that I was having apnea. The nurse suggested that I use oxygen. They put me on 2 L at night. The respiratory therapist came in one day noticed I had the oxygen set up and asked why they were giving it to me. I told her that it was for apnea. I was told that that was the wrong thing to do.

I have sleep apnea and with the pregnancy its worse so i have to use my cpap machine to stop snoring it is really loud

I suggest you follow-up with you sleep apnea team, and consider undergoing a formal or in-home sleep apnea test for more definitive diagnosis. The mandibular advancement device should help, as well as CPAP. The dental device pulls your lower jaw forward, which pulls your tongue forward. If you have a long wait, there are inexpensive low-tech boil and bite models that are sold over the internet for snoring, which does the same thing, but not as well as the formal device.

hazyworld, some are able to effectively treat their apnea with a dental device, but not everyone. Have an honest talk with a reputable provider about your chances of it working for you. They are designed to pull the lower jaw forward, and some complain of pain or have TMJ trouble. But some are willing to do anything to avoid using CPAP. I didn't like CPAP at first either. Are you on oxygen because you aren't using CPAP or with a CPAP?

Are they related to periodontal diseases? We are planning to get an anti snoring device ( http://www.parkerhilldental.com/our-services/anti-snoring-appliances/ ) to control the snoring issue. Is it really effective? Would that enough to solve this issue? Or should we consult any specialist for treatment?

I’m having surgery tomorrow and i use a CPAP, will the nurses work with me to find a way to use my mask that won’t put too much pressure on the incision?

The most common treatment and arguably the most consistently effective treatment for sleep apnea is the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. In addition to CPAP, a dentist specializing in sleep disorders can prescribe Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT). So please contact your doctor if you have not done it before so that treatment can be started.

I Have been feeling very dizzy, waking up several times at night to the bathroom. Snoring very loud and feeling so sleepy in the afternoon, and while driving too! I dont know if I should use again the CPAP machine or not. If I do use it would this affect the baby?
