people need to understand how serious this illness is... many people tend to ignore it and some doctors do not do a very good job of getting patients tested for it. Its simple, this disease will kill you if left untreated.
This is an excellent, well presented explanation of sleep apnea. Thank you! I've done a lot of online research, trying to get answers and simple but precise information (doctors do not take the time or provide decent information).
Facial Skeletal developement also plays a major major role. This is highly unknown, except by people that are focusing their studies in this area. Lack of breast feeding, lack of eating solid foods when facial structures are growing/developing causes a “long face”. The jaw grows in a down and forward direction in these people (versus the more desirable horizontal growth). Horizontal jaw growth also creates more attractive individuals like square-jawed individuals, like brad pit, and Angelina Jolie. This steep jaw angle growth in “long-faced” people places the tongue much closer to the back of the throat. Making it much easier for the tongue to drop back and obstruct the airway. With the tongue in a posterior position, it’s not sitting forward as it should be, which allows the palate to narrow, and the nasal airway to narrow. Nasal breathing thus can’t take place as easy. Mouth breathing thus has to occur to compensate. Mouth breathing causes the jaw to again drop open, and causes the tongue to easily occlude the airway. I could go on and on. But I want to point out that “skeletal growth” plays THE MOST important role in sleep apnea. (PS: I’m a dentist)
Dinesh, I'd encourage you to seriously look into this. Sleep Apnea is a serious condition that puts major strain on your entire body and organs. Here is a video that I recently shared. Hope it's helpful. Best wishes. ruclips.net/video/ReZnSsBrtno/видео.html
Nice video content! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Parlandealey Melted Fat Process (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for discovering the simple secret to get rid of sleep apnea and snoring minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my BF at last got cool success with it.
I have had mild insomnia for years -- waking up around Four am on many mornings. A few months ago, I started to have only 2 to four hours of sleep each night, leaving me in a worse scenario of insomnia. By reading this plan *4InsomniaCure. Com* I was able to learn more about sleep and find out the ways to get a much better rest.?
This sleep therapy *4InsomniaCure. Com* works. I started out suffering from insomnia at a young age. Of all of treatments I have used, this is the one that effectively broke the cycle of my own sleeping disorders. I got a better sleep these days that I had put into practice the treament program constantly without fail. .
It's definitely not just obese people that are affected. I'm only five foot one and 130 lbs, but I'm sure this is what I'm suffering from as well. I hope to have a sleep study done soon because not breathing is so such a terrible experience!
I`m a victim of insomnia for more than 2 yrs and I thought the issue cannot be resolved. This sleep program *4InsomniaCure. Com* was suggested to me by a cognitive behavioral therapist. It helped me learn more about sleep. I had been able to have a much better sleep every single night. I love resting on my bed again.?
i did a sleep study finally last month, i was told i had 122 apneas in one hour. i recieved a phillips dreamstation 2 w/ a nasal mask, nasal pillow mask and the full face mask in case i am stuffy and cant use the nasal one. it has a humidifier which i love and the heated tubing. i find it very comfortable to use, much more than what people said on reddit when i joined that subreddit. i will say if you wake up during the night to it at a 20 from the ramp gradually going up to what you need, holy smokes, thats like sticking your head out of a car window going 100 down a freeway. the face mask makes my cheeks blow back thats how strong the air is, its insane. i am overweight, i had to have the sleep study done to get approval for my gastric bypass in july. so i have a pulmonologist now, and when i was diagnosed, so many things make sense now. i fall asleep sitting up, in movie theatres, i have dozed off for a second driving once. i wake up with a headache almost everyday of my freaking life. i am always tired, miserable, foggy. Since having the cpap machine, i feel like an entirely different person. If you think you have apnea, or suspect even a tiny bit, get the study, if you need a cpap, don't dick around, DO IT. it will change your life.
My father has been rattling the windows on the house for 40 years with his snoring. He was diagnosed with OSA and prescribed THE CPAP. He has never worn it and snores like a bear. His 3rd wife sleeps in another room or kicks him out into the living room. I have been waking up myself making a roaring sound. My girlfriend has complained about it and recommended a sleep study.
1) I have no relatives with this 2) I do have allergies and I"m on - advair, singulair, albutoral, flucinase. and even Dupixent 3) I am a total nose breather but it seems the second I lay down on my left side (best side) I feel like I'm suffocating. 4) I read Tess Grahm's book on breathing and I'm doing everything right. 5) My consistent problem seem to be that in the early morning I develop phlem in my throat just enough to cause my throat to "stick" 6) I often use a dreammachine cpap (with humidifier) but it dries my throat out and again my throat gets locked and I've come to hate cpap 7) It gives me very bad repetitive nightmares like once a minute when I try to get back to sleep.. like I'm drowning or putting things away that keep falling back down 8) Hate it !
I didn't know the cause of waking up in the middle of the night, feeling almost suffocated, with no breathing at all - untill I have seen this clip that explains clearly 'sleep Apnea' which I believe is similar to my symptoms. My sister has also developed this same problem of waking up in the middle of the night having difficulty to breathe. All doctors we both seen couldn't figure out our problem and mostly related it asthma, cardiovascular problem or unknown factors.
I didn't think I had sleep apnea because of I workout three times a week and was overweight but I realized over the years that the reason I was waking up screaming in a panic need to walk outside was that not from bad dreams felt like i was about to die or anxiety but from obstructive sleep apnea
It's awful. Are you wearing a CPAP equipment? Hope you are getting the treatment that you need. It's a serious condition, as you know. Here is a video that I just shared (4 Issues Related to Sleep Apnea): ruclips.net/video/ReZnSsBrtno/видео.html Best wishes.
My first symptom was waking up in a panic attack. That was not something my doctor considered a symptom so it took almost two years to be diagnosed while I was having panic attacks 5-6 nights a week and getting very little real sleep. It was impacting my whole life. So thankful I was finally diagnosed. Immediate relief. Don’t overlook this possibility if you have something like this.
I'm going thru this right now ....i can't sleep for over a month and most telling me its panic attacks ...sleeping pills not helping me ...im suffering so much I can't function...any tips for me till I get a sleep study?
Its Me Hi, I’m sorry I really don’t. I ended up on an prescription med that helped me sleep. Even with the sleep study the doctor said I didn’t actually stop breathing, but just had very shallow breathing. He wasn’t sure the CPAP was the answer, but it was. Apparently, my brain feels that shallow breathing is not okay and works hard to wake me up when that happens. I’m so sorry you're going through this, but at least for me I’ve been using the CPAP for six years now and I’ve never had another panic attack. I wish the same for you.
I know that this is an old video, but I have to comment. I recently did a home sleep study, and was diagnosed with severe apnea. Then went to the VA hospital to sleep over night so they could set me up with a machine. Thanks so much for this video. Not one person from the VA have even attempted to explain what I have, or why this is the right treatment for me. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe when I go back to get the machine, they'll explain everything to me. Also while trying to fall asleep, I'll suddenly jolt feeling like I stopped breathing, hope the machine helps with this.
. I have "woken up" into a state of sleep paralysis numerous times. Mentally conscious but, not being able to breathe through my nose (stuffy nose + deviated septum) and not being able to change to a more comfortable position or even open my mouth to breathe. I have read multiple descriptions of feeling a weight over ones chest. I haven't felt that, rather just an inability to move coupled with slow suffocation. During this time I'm still able to control breathing e.g. trying to breathe harder through a stuffy nose. This usually leads to 5-10 minutes of excruciating struggle to live (trying to breathe harder and move my body while also contemplating the fact I'm so close to death) after which, I am able to actually wake up and regain control of my body. I am sleeping on my stomach during most of these episodes. Has anyone experienced something like this? Any tips or tricks to avoid horrible suffering and suffocation during sleep paralysis?
That's wonderful Patricia. Glad you made getting treatment a priority. In a recent educational video that I recorded, I say that CPAP machines are 100% effective if worn. Many stop wearing the equipment. Keep it up and stay healthy. Here is a video that I just shared (4 Issues Related to Sleep Apnea): ruclips.net/video/ReZnSsBrtno/видео.html
I’m tall and skinny but I was in an accident June 2020 that had displaced my spine and hips making my upper spine pinch my brain stem. I’ve been well now no one else was hurt as bad or worse than me. But if I’m a little out of place I can’t breath while I’m falling asleep and I feel trapped for like 2 minutes and I pretty much need to sleep on my back because of my spine but when I sleep on my side I never have a problem breathing.
My wife is having a headache because the time I began snoring that made me chose to use this snoring remedy t.co/Dre5IfqVTi It got me 3 weeks to obtain substantial results, but after a month or so my wife announced that I had neither snored or stopped breathing during the earlier night! .
Hey I'm having severe memory issues im only 30 like I can't remember what I did the day before and I have sleep apnea I'm getting my machine soon is it to late to save my memory am I doing this all for nothing it's mild sleep apnea
My right nostril is always congested and i recently gained a Lot of weight yup I have severe sleep apnea also my throat always has issues I think my tonsils are to big
Thank you for an excellent explanation. I have a question: Could symptoms similar to sleep apnea be triggered by allergens, while awake ? Say, like spicy food ?
Thank you. This is very well explained. Much appreciated. Have been on a cpap machine for about 3 years now. The machine made an immediate and positive difference to my life, health and sleep. Get tested if you think there is a possibility that you have this debilitating condition. The machine works like magic. Best of luck. ☘️🌝🌲
I have a different issue. I snore so bad my uvula swells. I can breathe in fine but it blocks me from breathing out. Apparently 180 times per hour on average. Sleep docs wanted me to stay in their facility until my cpap came in because it was so bad.
I have had mild insomnia for years -- waking up around Four am on many mornings. A few months ago, I started to have only 2 to four hours of sleep each night, leaving me in a worse scenario of insomnia. By reading this plan *4InsomniaCure.

Ayyy, did you complete the sleep study. Hope you are doing well. Here is a video that I just shared (4 Issues Related to Sleep Apnea): ruclips.net/video/ReZnSsBrtno/видео.html
I don't really even know what sleep is pretty much. Haven't had good, consistent sleep since childhood, which affect my schooling. I remember being like a zombie as a kid. I am trying to do some tongue and throat exercises and just ordered a wedge pillow. I will look into CPAP. I need sleep. I have lost a lot of weight, but it hasn't helped too much. I try to avoid high histamine foods to reduce rhinitis.
If it’s due to fat explain to me why skinny people real skinny people have sleep apnea to obstructive sleep apnea that has nothing to do with the way it has to do with what you eat not because of weight but because of inflammatory foods
Thanks for your great info.! Watching from Mexico cty , Pls, what’s the specialist Drs name, for these kind of problem ? So much appreciate your attention ! 75 year young grand mother .. & ur next door neighbor 💞🙏😘

I have been diagnosed with severe OSA (44 x per hr with O2 sat 71%) and am starting CPAP. I have had bilateral hip replacements and other joint surgeries and cannot sleep on my right side. I start out on my left side but during sleep become supine. Would a bed where you can raise the head of the bed (such as a Sleep Number bed) reduce apneic events while lying on my back with the head at 30 degrees or more? Thank you.
Appreciate video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Letochy Fast Apnea Plan (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one off product for getting rid of Sleep Apnea minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
Lovely Video! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched - Letochy Fast Apnea Plan (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing exclusive product for getting rid of Sleep Apnea without the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my best friend Jordan after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
Additional risk factor: Poorly developed jaws such as found in most people with malocclusion (crooked teeth). Also people with such jaw structure that had orthodontics that retracted the anterior teeth as part of the treatment (thus further restricting tongue space).
Retruded / set back jaws are almost always the reason for sleep apnea (root cause that is) ofcourse being overweight may worsen the problem. You'll never find anyone who has good cheekbones (forward jaw) that has sleep apnea.
Everyone's tongue is roughly the same size in length, however some people have forward positioned jaws so when their jaws relax in sleep in doesn't go into their airway. Also the reason people with poorly developed jaws don't have breathing problems in the day time (regarding airway) is because they're conpensated the bad jaw position by tilting their heads forward to open the airway
I've been having sleep paralysis for about 20 years now, it feels like I'm dying, even if i woke up i feel so sleepy that i would go right back to sleep so i have to try so hard to stay awake and have to sit and sometimes walk around to make myself awake
This explained every thing I wanted too know about obstructive sleep apnea! Thanks I have mild to moderate so i'm gonna keep exercising 3-5 days per.wk.and keep eating healthy and talk to my ent about my allergies! I don't really want too wear a mask f I don't have too.
Agree , evolutionary process healing is done on a microbial level. Every cell and mechanism within it has a purpose. Nothing is junk only necessary at the right moments. 😷🙏✌️
Very Good explanation. Just like to question, breathing being so important, why does the brain allow the tongue/muscles to relax causing reduction in the airway ? For e.g the heart continues to beat constantly even in sleep.
NSD India in reality tongue is the only muscle which doesn’t relax when we go to sleep. However, when the muscle gets weaker (causes might be smoking, alcohol, age, fat storage) then tongue starts to relax, which is a huge problem. Hence it’s called sleep apnea 🤷♂️
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I have a cpap machine to help with my "mild sleep apnea" but feel the next day as though someone is sitting on my chest. I am not used to that continuous pressure. Thinking of returning the cpap machine and just going with a mouth guard.
Try earthing, it's good for almost all health problems and sleep apnea, go DIY a grounding pillow, mat or sheet and drink with metal cup connect to earthing.
My first night on my machine I got two hours sleep and I felt like a million bucks next day. Second night with the machine I got 4 hrs sleep and I still felt like a million bucks. Doc said I had it bad and if I didnt get this fixed Id be dead by the time I got to fifty.
I keep waking in the night with a start because I can’t breath. I also get night terrors. I’m 55 and am post menopausal, this last two months it’s gotten worse. I’m waking three times every night now. I’m about 56 pounds over weight. I’ve noticed that even though I can breathe through my nose I feel like I’m blocked behind my nose and top of my throat. I’m not sleeping at all now 😒. Love your voice, it’s so relaxing and you explained this so well 😘
Then why do apneas occur when someone is NOT supine? This video only demonstrates the theoat in supine position. It wouldnt close like that if the person was on their side.
Age 50-60 and stops, lol...like everything, lol. Have my CPAP equipment for a year and huge difference now in deep sleep and less day time fatigue. Who would have thought?
For sleep events in an hour? My insurance cut off point is 20 an hour when I was tested I had 24 one of them included holding my breath for 3 minutes and 35 seconds yikes I do use the machine now though not as often as I should I am trying my best I feel one day it might kill me otherwise if I don't get a handle on this it is causing increase in my red blood cells so my blood now loosing my body and a thicker manner trying to compensate for the fact that I keep holding my breath
For me it like this....when I want to go to sleep...the first minutes it happen..but when I actually sleep...I never wake...but the first 30 minutes to go to sleep..it always wake me up until I'm tired myself..is that sleep apnea too??
5'6, 100 pound woman and I have severe sleep apnea -85/hrs. I'm waiting for a consult about jaw surgery as cpap forces into my stomach/intestines and it's awful
So, I don't know if I have sleep apena however, very often either I am dreaming or literally experiencing it, that I am suffocating and can't breathe. Many times I wake up normal but afraid to go back to sleep.
Obstructing sleep apnea is not the only form of sleep apnea. Central sleep apnea is a problem as well. You are doing your viewers a disservice by not discussing both.
Man this disease is nothing to fool around with i just got recently diagnosed and I will be glad the CPAP machine finally comes they say it can take up to two weeks to get it
Losing weight helps, but there are soooo many other risks factors. Depending on what the patient's risk profile looks like, weight loss may not do anything.
No doubt, the video is incredible, and also every time I read watch your videos I just got fastened with the content of the video. How easily you describe each and every perspective of the topic of the video. Keep posting more.

Why cant surgery be done to remove that fat tissue around the neck ( trachea)?

But if I’m a little out of place I can’t breath while I’m falling asleep and I feel trapped for like 2 minutes and I pretty much need to sleep on my back because of my spine but when I sleep on my side I never have a problem breathing.
So are there exercises that would trim the fat around throat that would help reduce the occurrence of airway blockage?

Helpful I just wish you would not suggest it is fat related. My snoring and apnea began in my teens and I was skinny. Don’t stereotype.

Just diagnosed. Sleep study showed oxygen dropped to 80% and apnea’s were 20-30 per hour. Waiting on cpap machine next week sometime.
jimmyburbank how’s everything now? Are you ok?

How you adapt to that machine?.....how do you resolve that (I mean discomfort things)...(if any)
wow . Im right there with you. I just an hour ago got a call from the sleep center. severe apnea. Ill be getting a machine and mask soon.
I have had mild insomnia for years -- waking up around Four am on many mornings. A few months ago, I started to have only 2 to four hours of sleep each night, leaving me in a worse scenario of insomnia. By reading this plan *4InsomniaCure. Com* I was able to learn more about sleep and find out the ways to get a much better rest.?
I have to have a sleep study done because my doctor is sure that I have it.
Ayyy, did you complete the sleep study. Hope you are doing well. Here is a video that I just shared (4 Issues Related to Sleep Apnea): ruclips.net/video/ReZnSsBrtno/видео.html
Easy to understand. Thanks!
Good information,thank you.
I wake up gasping for air in the middle of the night, with high heart rate and legs shivering and I drink water and calm down
stailleos same here
if you snore and wake up at night somewhat often then you probably have it. That is how I got a cpap machine.
Exposed to industrial solvents/toxins and
Parkinson’s are risks too!
I don't really even know what sleep is pretty much. Haven't had good, consistent sleep since childhood, which affect my schooling. I remember being like a zombie as a kid. I am trying to do some tongue and throat exercises and just ordered a wedge pillow. I will look into CPAP. I need sleep. I have lost a lot of weight, but it hasn't helped too much. I try to avoid high histamine foods to reduce rhinitis.
If it’s due to fat explain to me why skinny people real skinny people have sleep apnea to obstructive sleep apnea that has nothing to do with the way it has to do with what you eat not because of weight but because of inflammatory foods
Thanks for your great info.! Watching from Mexico cty , Pls, what’s the specialist Drs name, for these kind of problem ? So much appreciate your attention ! 75 year young grand mother .. & ur next door neighbor 💞🙏😘
Thank you for this, but where might I find the second video on diagnosis and treatment?
Excellent video.. Very informative and easy to understand. Learned a lot..
+Bridget Atkinson Good to hear- thank you for the feedback
+Bridget Atkinson Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover alternative sleep apnea treatments try Tarbetti Apnea Expert Tutor( search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my partner got cool success with it.
+Bridget Atkinson interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to cure sleep apnea at home try Nadazma Amazing Sleep Helper(do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my co-worker got great success with it.
I've been studying treating bad snoring naturally and found a great website at Dravin snore site (google it if you are interested)
I have been diagnosed with severe OSA (44 x per hr with O2 sat 71%) and am starting CPAP. I have had bilateral hip replacements and other joint surgeries and cannot sleep on my right side. I start out on my left side but during sleep become supine. Would a bed where you can raise the head of the bed (such as a Sleep Number bed) reduce apneic events while lying on my back with the head at 30 degrees or more? Thank you.
nicely explained , am preparing for exams and this helped me a lot.
Appreciate video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Letochy Fast Apnea Plan (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one off product for getting rid of Sleep Apnea minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
Lovely Video! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched - Letochy Fast Apnea Plan (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing exclusive product for getting rid of Sleep Apnea without the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my best friend Jordan after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
Great Video!!
Do you have any information about central sleep apnea protocol?
can i have my double chin removed for medical reasons, say if i have sleep apnea
Very well explained the cause of obstructive sleep apnea. Would acupressure/massage in jaw area help?
I Came Here After Singer Bappi Lehri's Death Due To This Disease
Additional risk factor: Poorly developed jaws such as found in most people with malocclusion (crooked teeth). Also people with such jaw structure that had orthodontics that retracted the anterior teeth as part of the treatment (thus further restricting tongue space).
Retruded / set back jaws are almost always the reason for sleep apnea (root cause that is) ofcourse being overweight may worsen the problem. You'll never find anyone who has good cheekbones (forward jaw) that has sleep apnea.
Everyone's tongue is roughly the same size in length, however some people have forward positioned jaws so when their jaws relax in sleep in doesn't go into their airway. Also the reason people with poorly developed jaws don't have breathing problems in the day time (regarding airway) is because they're conpensated the bad jaw position by tilting their heads forward to open the airway
Why I was Dx w sleep apnea still being thin and young. Jaw surgery is the answer
Very good drawing!
An outstanding explanation of this disorder. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
I've been having sleep paralysis for about 20 years now, it feels like I'm dying, even if i woke up i feel so sleepy that i would go right back to sleep so i have to try so hard to stay awake and have to sit and sometimes walk around to make myself awake
This explained every thing I wanted too know about obstructive sleep apnea! Thanks I have mild to moderate so i'm gonna keep exercising 3-5 days per.wk.and keep eating healthy and talk to my ent about my allergies! I don't really want too wear a mask f I don't have too.
Antoinette Gilbert I hope you're still on track! Good luck and good health!
Agree , evolutionary process healing is done on a microbial level. Every cell and mechanism within it has a purpose. Nothing is junk only necessary at the right moments. 😷🙏✌️
Very Good explanation. Just like to question, breathing being so important, why does the brain allow the tongue/muscles to relax causing reduction in the airway ? For e.g the heart continues to beat constantly even in sleep.
NSD India in reality tongue is the only muscle which doesn’t relax when we go to sleep. However, when the muscle gets weaker (causes might be smoking, alcohol, age, fat storage) then tongue starts to relax, which is a huge problem. Hence it’s called sleep apnea 🤷♂️
This all is Wonderful information All DOCTOR'S Should have all of This ..especially with this VIRES ..GOING ON NOW.
🇺🇸🌎🌍🌏🇺🇸🏨🇬🇧
I need something tht is cordless cause the CPAP is very uncomfortable for me so if someone can help me plz respond back I have Medicaid insurance
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I have a cpap machine to help with my "mild sleep apnea" but feel the next day as though someone is sitting on my chest. I am not used to that continuous pressure. Thinking of returning the cpap machine and just going with a mouth guard.
Try earthing, it's good for almost all health problems and sleep apnea, go DIY a grounding pillow, mat or sheet and drink with metal cup connect to earthing.
@@abrahamd2605 please explain this more
Does it mean to sleep on the floor?
My first night on my machine I got two hours sleep and I felt like a million bucks next day. Second night with the machine I got 4 hrs sleep and I still felt like a million bucks. Doc said I had it bad and if I didnt get this fixed Id be dead by the time I got to fifty.
Very useful video
Please allow me to use it in my presentation with some modifications
Isn't alcohol and eating a lot of carbohydrates near bedtime are also risk factors?
cool to look back on the old vids and compare to the present ones
Great video, explains a lot. Eye opener on why my son's OSA is much worst then mine!!!!
kimtwan1 Thank you for the comment
thanks for the info, i will look in to it
the link to part 2 went to the same video.
I heard that vit B1 deficency is a cause of sleep apnea! Did anyone know this?
I keep waking in the night with a start because I can’t breath. I also get night terrors. I’m 55 and am post menopausal, this last two months it’s gotten worse. I’m waking three times every night now. I’m about 56 pounds over weight. I’ve noticed that even though I can breathe through my nose I feel like I’m blocked behind my nose and top of my throat. I’m not sleeping at all now 😒. Love your voice, it’s so relaxing and you explained this so well 😘
Try earthing, go DIY a grounding mat, pillow or sheet to use at home. Earthing is good for almost all health problems including sleep apnea.
Abraham D Thanks! Is grounding were you rub a metal spoon under your feet? X

I have to tell my mom when I wake up I gasp for air :(
how does testosterone affect it? low or high?
What is URL of video 2 of 2 on sleep apnea?
Hi Frank! Here it is: ruclips.net/video/DTgeeDj4xnI/видео.html
Is this why I jolt awake as I fall asleep not being able to breath? But once I’m asleep I don’t wake up at all
Then why do apneas occur when someone is NOT supine? This video only demonstrates the theoat in supine position. It wouldnt close like that if the person was on their side.
Doc, can I get a plastic surgery in my throat that way I would be sleep apnea free?
Very simple explanation to laymen terms. thanks
Where is part two?
Age 50-60 and stops, lol...like everything, lol. Have my CPAP equipment for a year and huge difference now in deep sleep and less day time fatigue. Who would have thought?
I have severe central sleep apnea. I’d sure like to hear you address that. Thanks!
For sleep events in an hour? My insurance cut off point is 20 an hour when I was tested I had 24 one of them included holding my breath for 3 minutes and 35 seconds yikes I do use the machine now though not as often as I should I am trying my best I feel one day it might kill me otherwise if I don't get a handle on this it is causing increase in my red blood cells so my blood now loosing my body and a thicker manner trying to compensate for the fact that I keep holding my breath
For me it like this....when I want to go to sleep...the first minutes it happen..but when I actually sleep...I never wake...but the first 30 minutes to go to sleep..it always wake me up until I'm tired myself..is that sleep apnea too??
5'6, 100 pound woman and I have severe sleep apnea -85/hrs. I'm waiting for a consult about jaw surgery as cpap forces into my stomach/intestines and it's awful
Thanks, great Video.
Dr. Sehulth, You have explained OSA so nicely. Keep up the good work. Thanks again. This is Anthony from Santacruz, Mumbai, India.
So, I don't know if I have sleep apena however, very often either I am dreaming or literally experiencing it, that I am suffocating and can't breathe. Many times I wake up normal but afraid to go back to sleep.
Obstructing sleep apnea is not the only form of sleep apnea. Central sleep apnea is a problem as well. You are doing your viewers a disservice by not discussing both.
Hmm, could be my pillow if I'm laying on my back or side then?
Man this disease is nothing to fool around with i just got recently diagnosed and I will be glad the CPAP machine finally comes they say it can take up to two weeks to get it
Just now Bappi Lahiri famous music composer, singer in Bollywood , died due to this obstructive sleep apnea..
Rip 🙏
Thank you Dr. Seheult ...
Losing weight helps, but there are soooo many other risks factors. Depending on what the patient's risk profile looks like, weight loss may not do anything.
Keep changing pillow covers if u sweat..etc..? Dont bad pillows cause allergies...
Just been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea having 38 a night fking hate the cpap not had a decent night sleep with. It
The jaws are too too low and back into the face.
My 64 year old mother has severe sleep apnea.. Can she go for gallbladder removal surgery under GA?
Will it be safe?
What is central 🤔 sleep
No doubt, the video is incredible, and also every time I read watch your videos I just got fastened with the content of the video. How easily you describe each and every perspective of the topic of the video. Keep posting more.
I wanted to mention too that sleeping flat makes it worse for me. If I sleep with two or three pillows, it improves.
Was just diagnosed with this.
Go chiefs!
Is there a reason a patient wouldn't wake up from the sympathetic response to the brain that signals low O2 sat?
Doctor can you help me for any treatment got kleine Levin syndrome or any test to confirm the diagnosis other than MSLT
Sometimes a mri of the brain is done with other imaging to see if there is a change in blood flow to the thalamus/hypothalamus.
@@Medcram thanks
That's nicely explained ! Thank you
