My husband has diabetes and Sleep Apnea. Can you tell me if you have diabetes can this cause you to have Sleep Apnea?

does sleep apnea cause strokes or heartattacks in time if not taken care of??

How many of you use, or know someone who uses a CPAP machine at night to help them breathe and not to snore?

I am very curious about this, since CPAPs save lives all over the world. I think we all need more education on CPAP machines, and we need to spread the word that if people snore or stop breathing at night, they should have a sleep study done.

Sleep Apnea causes high blood pressure, can cause strokes and heart attacks. It sometimes makes people have heartburn at night, and makes them sleepy during the day. People can become forgetful or irritated. This is just a short list of all the damage that having untreated sleep apnea can cause.

Here is the latest treatment for snoring hope it helps out tell me what you think of it?

. It is a little bit price-y but hey if you know of someone who can’t sleep and you they have that sleep apnea and are at risk for even death then the price should be covered by insurance I think. Any one know if it is covered by insurance? What do you think of the new device to stop snoring? Sounds like a good idea to me, if anyone has gets more information please tell me. Thanks

Oh gosh thanks so much for making me laugh today. It is funny don’t you think? I like the one that said she was afraid she might actually kill him… and where it says they both snore and even the ones where they say sleeping in another room is cheaper. Oh I just pictured all of us talking about it and laughing our socks off. To hilarious

P.S. is it painful downside of tonsils out? ups for you see i have obstructive sleep apnea.

Did you know that Sleep Apnea is a serious and deadly disease which affects many Americans who aren’t even aware of it? The symptoms include snoring, daytime drowsiness/sleepiness, cessation of breathing during sleep, night sweats, morning headaches, loss of concentration and many others. I have lost two friends in the past two years to Sleep Apnea. Both were diagnosed and refused to use their CPAP machines. I was diagnosed in 2000 and use a CPAP every time I sleep.

I was wondering if anyone on here has sleep apnea and how do you feel when you have it ? The reason I ask is because I was wondering if I had sleep apnea a perfect example is: There are times when I will wake up gasping and choking and continuous coughing and my throat feels a bit rare and sore. Are these some symptoms for people with Sleep Apnea?

Im 16 old girl and all i do is sleep it makes me not want to do any thing. Its not like a normal growing teens thing well at least i don’t think it is. because i sleep at night but i wake up allot during the nights to get drinks and stuff. I also sleep in school then after school i go take a nap. the only way i will wake up after school is if some one makes me. I went to a sleep diagnosis place and they said i don’t have sleep apnea. i got blood work done and they say im not anemic and im not diabetic then my doctor just stopped trying to help me. So i guess i need to find out whats wrong with me so does any one have a clue to what it could be.

Sleep apnea is not a psycholigical disease its a repiratory disease. It can cause insulin resistance without obesity.
