Why You Pee At Night - The Most Overlooked Reason
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 авг 2024
- In this video, I argue that sleep-breathing problems such as obstructive sleep apnea and upper airway resistance syndrome should be the first reason to think about when you suffer from this nighttime urination. Nocturia (nighttime urination) is a widespread condition as you get older, but it’s also common in children as well as younger adults. There are many explanations for nocturia by experts, but obstructive sleep apnea is rarely mentioned. I also explain which hormone from the heart is made due to apneas to make you pee more at night, as well as frightening statistics on much higher death rates for people with nocturia.

Here's a study showing that in patients with sleep apnea and nighttime urination, 79% of awakenings at night were due to obstructed breathing, rather than from a distended bladder. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/621682.
❤
I have sleep apnea and also have nighttime urination. Is it possible that my bladder is more susceptible to being irritated by what I eat and drink?
I'm asking, if my bladder can be irritated by foods and drink because of sleep apnea?
@@Curtis_George I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure I came to understand from a Dr. Berg video that "what and when" you eat can affect your insulin at night and an insulin problem can cause or make Sleep Apnea worse. Eating too much salty foods or alcohol irritates the bladder. I like beer a lot....I definitely notice that if I drink 2-3 beers even if its in the first half of the day...my Nocturia is worse that night. I'd recommend trying to make your dinner a spinach salad w Garbanzo beans (my new favorite) or pan fried broccoli w olive oil. You will definitely feel that your bladder feels good and not get up at night as much. I'm not telling you to go vegan... I personally can't do this.....just go vegan for dinner. Try it.....see if it it makes a difference. Also try not to eat or drink 2-3 hours before bed...and not snack in the middle of the night. Eat enough also.........regardless if you skip breakfast or not. I usually skip breakfast myself. If you have obstructive sleep apnea....your solution is getting diagnosed then get one of those machines I would think. Drink lemon water also. This definitely good for the bladder.
@@Curtis_George What do you think? Use common sense, the answer is there. Cultivate it, son.
I always thought it was because of the gallon of water i drank during the day then a 6 pack of beer in the evening lol.
Waking up to pee at night is still a lot better than not waking up!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!! So true .
Yeah, you bet!
No
And the more you wake up, the more you know that you're still kicking
@@jerryharanczyk You should wake up in the morning, after 6-8 hours sleep. Not in the night!
He is one of the few you tube doctors who is damn right.
You are 100% right. I’ve had this habit night urination for EVERY single night at 3am for the last 15 years maybe. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and 7 days ago I started using my CPAP machine and the night urination habit/issue disappeared immediately on the first night using the CPAP therapy machine.
I hope I get the same relief when I see my sleep doctor in 2 weeks time
What is it like sleeping with a mask on ?
@@jeansweet2706 its awful, I can't even use mine
Bravo Doctor Steven. I get up many times, and when I arise in the morning am filled with nasal congestion and post nasal drip.
There are nights when I urinate frequently and some nights when I don't...I thought it was because I drink more water during the evening...I usually sleep on my back or start sleeping on my back but sometimes find myself sleeping on the sides when I wake up... or change position to the sides as I sleep...I have stuffy nose at other times as I sleep... I'm glad to have watched your videos as they're very informative... it's just that you tend to talk faster at times in the middle of your talk and the words sound mumbled...anyhow, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank you Dr Park. After nodding off while driving and barely avoiding what would have been a fatal accident, a week later by amazing luck your video popped up on my logarithm and put all the pieces together for why I'm always so tired. I didn't know the connection to frequent urination at night and sleep apnea and now I have an appointment for a sleep study. Once again, thanks!
I was diagnosed with BPH at an early age. Despite that, I continued drinking large amounts of caffeine throughout the day. This, in turn, caused frequent urination during the night. Most nights, I would have to get up five times to urinate. I made a switch to drinking one cup of coffee in the morning, followed by one cup of matcha tea. After that, I only drink water. In addition, I keep a bottle of water on my nightstand. Since making the change, I rarely get up to urinate at night. If I do, it is only once and I fall right back to sleep. It has been life-changing.
Thank you for this video, Doctor Park. I had been waking up to urinate 3 to 5 times a night for about 3 years now. I followed your suggestion to have myself tested for sleep apnea recently. I had been using my CPAP machine for almost a week now and my nocturnia stopped on the very first night. I have also been getting more sun exposure, losing some weight, etc., as you have suggested in this video. Thank you again.
Yes, for me 3-4 times dreadful!
6 or more
I'm happy to hear your results. I'm hoping to have the same relief.....
❤
Same results for me. The last 4 years I've gotten up once , that .25 nocturia ( peeing at night) per year. Before CPAP I was around 1200 nocturia per year.
Great video, very well explained and easy to understand.
Thank you Dr Park. I'm a retired but active, 75 year old New Zealander and have been having nocturia for about 10 years. I have had high blood pressure for about 18 years, but I have been listed as marginal all my adult life. Bedtime is usually 10.30-11pm and I wake for a full pee around 12.30pm. I then wake 90 minutes later at 2.00am for an extra dribble. The next one is usually at 4am and a final one at 6.00am, both of these are annoying dribbles that keep you half-awake if you don't see to it. I have slept right through on occasions when I have had a hard day's exercise and/or a super comfortable bed at a hotel/motel. But sleep apnea seems a high probability. Thank you.
Honestly go and get a sleep apnea check ASAP.. I did and got severe sleep apnea.. Now fully treated with a ResMed air way machine.. Feel 1000% better..
Why not get a super comfortable bed at home?
A couple of years ago I went to a sleep clinic and had an overnight test. I had sleep apnea. They recommended a C-pap machine. THE first night I noticed that I only got up once or twice a night to pee. No one at the clinic mentioned that this may happen. I had been getting up 4-6 times a night. It was a nice surprise, and SO noticeable that I immediately recognized the connection. I then asked my doctor and he said that, yes, there is a connection.
Instead of the noisy machine try taping your mouth closed at nite. There’s a certain tape for this. Forces u to breathe thru nose. Good luck
Once I lost weight and no longer consume sugar or Alcohol my sleep apnea reversed
Scam !!!!! My sleep study I was awake the entire time not one second of sleep. My results showed I had 84 apnea events and it was highly recommended that I purchase a machine!!!!
I told them all to FO!
@@Newclear3386😅0
@@Newclear3386Bingo. 3M micropore tape.
Thanks doctor for your lecture I am 42 years old and I have realized that I urinate close to 7-10 times at night. Then I also discovered that my BP used to be 165/95 this days but with your recommendations I am now aware of the cause. Thanks I really appreciate
When I suffered from Endocarditis, I woke up almost constantly at night and had to pee. So that can certainly be a reason for the problem as well.
Anything that irritates the heart will make the same hormone (atrial natriuretic peptide) that's also caused by sleep apnea.
@@doctorstevenpark Thanks. I had a leaky heart valve, which I reckon was caused by Sleep Apnea in the first place, so it all goes round in circles, I suppose. My father too suffered from Sleep Apnea and had to sleep with a mask next to a machine of some kind. Unfortunately it only worsened his condition in the long run. I avoided that thanks to emplolying the Butayko Method for breathing etc., particularly the principle of taping one's mouth over with surgical tape at night. If you are not aware of this solution to Sleep Apnea, I will strongly encourage you to look into it. Some medical professionals have their doubts about it (though Butayko, who invented it, was in fact a high-ranking doctor himself), and one night when I was at hospital there was a nurse who woke me up and told me to remove the tape. Luckily for me, she had a young doctor with her, who said, "No, no, no, this is a great thing to do." He had some personal, very positive experience with the method and even tossed me a roll of surgical tape when he left (the nurse had to accept his decition, of course). I still mouthtape at night, but I do have a small worry in regard to the glue on the tape and whether it might be somewhat toxid, as you place it across the lips. I know there are dedicated tapes made for this specific purpose, but I can't find the brands around where I live (South West Ireland), and the sellers I found on German Amazon, who stock them, won't post out of their own country, and buying from amazon.co.uk. isn't worth the trouble since Brexit. To cut a long story short, I wonder if you might have a comment on the subject of the possible toxidity of the tape.
I wake up to pee at least 5 times per night. I have only slept through the night about 5 times in my life. Since listening to you, I notice my mouth is dry so likely I am have apnea throughout the night. I am a daytime frequent urinator too. I was a bedwetter as a child so nothing new for me. Small jaw with lots of extractions. I am over weight now too. Very helpful. 🙏
M, daytime frequency can also occur with sleep apnea. It sounds like you need to see a sleep doctor ASAP. Good luck!
@@doctorstevenpark I have the same problem, tried a sleep doctor but the Cpap Breathing apparatus actually prevented me from sleeping.
As I am retired I am able to go sleep in the afternoon when I get fatigued
Sounds like you might have high blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes possibly.
@@khankrum1 Why don't you see your sleep doctor for another option for your sleep apnea?
@@khankrum1 There are other options for sleep apnea. Please see your sleep doctor.
I am çoeliac and as my health deteriorated I woke more during the night. This condition is a killer and yet it was not mentioned in your ten minute informative talk. Many of the problems it causes are in the list you gave us. Please add coeliac disease to your list and encourage people to get tested before serious damage is done. I was sixty two and unable to digest anything properly before I found a diagnostic program that gave me possible things to test for, yet for years I had been visiting my GP with gastric problems and worsening symtoms, high blood pressure heart palpitations alongside weakness and tiredness. The tendency is to treat one symptom instead of looking for an underlying cause. I was told for years that I had irritable bowel syndrome. This is not a diagnosis but a description of what was happening to me from an irritant that ruined my life.
still get up at 76 ounce but sleep apnea now treated saved me thanks you
Thank you much...I've noticed that I wake up once to urinate during the night after I drink water before going to bed. I did not know that drinking liquids leads to urination; I learn something new each day.
Your video is very good. This is from a person who has been diagnosed with sleep apnea more than 20 years ago.
I am a 71 year old slender woman who exercises and I have mandibular devices to open my jaw to help my sleep apnea. I started waking up every two hours to pee at night when I went through 10 years of chemo induced hot flashes from breast cancer treatment. That started 21 years ago. I continue to wake up every two hours no matter what I do. I wish that what you said worked for me but it doesn’t.
Vivian, just because you tried a mandibular advancement device doesn't mean that your urination is not a sleep apnea problem. Oftentimes, I see complete obstruction in the airway with the oral device in place. I find that in many cases, it's not pushed forward enough. The problem is that you get more complications the further out you push. This issues has to be managed properly by your dentist. Another option is to try other sleep apnea treatment alternatives. Talk with your sleep doctor. Good luck!
Tape your mouth over at night with surgical tape or dedicated "mouth tape". Many people do and it works wonders. Several videos here on YT will explain it further for you. Good luck!
Eat some butter before bed. Sometimes you need fat but don't realize it. A chunk of butter before bed basically ended my insomnia.
Yeah was going to say you probably just need a CPAP. The chemo made your apnea worse. Kind of like your eyes getting worse. Your old prescription is probably no good
Thank you! It's amazing how sleep apnea is ignored by doctors both in diagnosis and after. I have severe untreatable sleep apnea and they act like it's a bummer I'll eventually get used to and stop complaining about it. 😂
Untreatable? I have sleep apnea and it seems like even with the mask, I've been having more events. Can it get to the point where a machine won't work?
Helpful and informative...but worrying. At 64, I feel there's so much out there to get me.
I had a hip replacement, and I was told I would have problems with my bowel motion, this also affects my urinating. ..After 6 years and a half, my bowel motion starts becoming normal again, and easier urinating is now more consistent. I am 81, so I expect aging side effects. Writing this has taken me much less time than the duration of your video.
Nice job doctor; very well presented; thank you so much; i've seen about sixty medical specialists and not one came near your explanation for my OSA.
Ranges from once to three times. The first times normally 2 to 2.5 hours after sleep. The more restless I am , the more times I pee. You have a point there though I think age and old bodies play a part.
You gotta be kidding me. My body has been in use for 68 years and what I have done to the outside does not bear thinking about but what I have put into it over those years has given me some wonderful times. It stands to reason with that amount of abuse somethings are not going to work as they once did. After several visits to my doctors and specialists over the past 10 years or so I have come to the conclusion I just don't care any more. I am going to go out as I want to enjoying what I want to and if she don't like it tough luck.
If I need to go twice a night so be it. If I got to go more that means my bladder is working. It's not worth the hassle going to a doctor every 5 minutes to find out why so and so is not working. I have had a marvellous life so far and what is happening now is okay.
Yeah I mostly don’t think it’s that. I think it’s a lot of other stuff iron overload, high acid levels, many other things that can be correlated with age but not necessarily and larger and larger numbers of the young are afflicted with issues so I mostly don’t feel like it’s age it’s environmental poisons and other things or that’s my best bet right now. It’s a mix of reduced good increased bad in lifestyle and environment and invisible toxins that people mostly don’t notice.
I use to go to the bathroom 2-3 times per night for years. I started taking 500mg of B1 and no more waking up to use the bathroom.
Do you take it before bed or in the morning?
B1?
I started eating pumpkin seeds and went from peeing every 1.5 hours to every 4-6 hours. So they helped some. But I get tired of eating them.
Thank you dearly. Very helpful and acknowlege that it is time for me to attend to my symptoms.
I love your approach to different ailments….
Simple explanation for everyone to understand thx🙏
Dr Park your presentation on nocturnal urination was VERY enlightening . Thanks for your knowledge . I am awaiting results from a Veterans Affairs sleep study with much more 'awareness ' .
1 time - usually, around 4 am. Thanks for the video
Enlarged prostate, I gave up sugar and reduced carbohydrates, and the problem went away
#nightpiss
I used to wake up an average of three times a night just to urinate, I would later be diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and was prescribed the top of the line cpap machine. I've been using this machine for almost a year now and boy has it changed my life for the better. Not knowing that my sleep apnea had any correlation to my frequent washroom breaks at night but after watching this video, it made me realize ever since I started using the cpap machine those washroom breaks at night had stopped completely where now when I need to urinate, its only once after a nights rest and woke ready to start my day.
Vvjh
Thank Doc for detailed & simple explanation
Dr Stevens, I’m so appreciative of your video! I’ve slept through the night only twice since I had children 30 ago. On a good night I pee twice, on a bad one 4-5 times.I’ve talked w my Drs, and not one of them have given me this clear and through information. While I do a lot of your recommendations, you’ve given more to try and I am grateful. I feel hopeful. Thank you!
Reluctantly, I have started using a CPAP machine. I now have 9 consecutive nights of fairly successful use according to how I feel in the mornings, and from the feedback on my phone app which is connected to my machine. Prior to using the CPAP machine, I would get up 2 to 4 a night to urinate over the past 7 years. I now get up 0 to 1 time a night to urinate since using the machine. I have been on prostate medication for about one year now and have seen no real positive results from the taking of this medication. I am amazed, that the CPAP machine has had this positive affect on my nocturia. I'm very excited to see what other positive results will come from using this machine!!!!! What abuse my body has taken from Central Sleep Apnea!!! I should have started using this machine years ago!!!
Very interesting thanks for sharing 🙏❤
I have been watching videos about nocturia. No one mentions antidiurectic hormone. This hormone is supposed to reduce urine output when you sleep. I am 75 years old and am still working. The reason I have to get up two or three times a night to go to the bathroom is that I work sitting down in front of a computer for long periods of time. I have a little swelling problem. So I am glad to remove some water when I am lying down. It does not bother me at all. Sometimes I fell asleep right after dinner. I get enough sleep. I do not believe nocturia will shorten my life.
Dr. Parker, thank you for sharing valuable helpful TIPS.
Glad you like them!
Thank you Dr Park for your video. Interesting that people are NOW figuring out their waking up at 3:00am or having to urinate 2-3 times a Mr night. I realized that during 3 years of pandemic, the face mask may have caused a change in our breathing patterns. I started the 3:00 am waking up pattern at the end of the pandemic, and my wife observed me at night with sleep apnea. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure last year. As a deaf person who reads lips , the face mask has caused more stress in my life and it made me more disabled. So the factors of high blood pressure, emotional stress, borderline overweight,
Long term use of face mask for 3 years ( I’m a frontline healthcare worker), I will visit a sleep doctor very soon
Sorry to hear of your problems. You will be much better off to stop using face masks immediately. I didn't wear one as they do more harm than good. Good luck
@@Rdott82 Nonsense. You are FULL of it. As a healthcare worker for over 27 years, I can tell you that you are uneducated on this.
false info@@Rdott82
I refuse to speak to people wearing masks, as I think this is the only way to put an end to the ridiculous habit of maskurbation.
CPAP get one right away
I’m up every 1.5 to 2 hours. Don’t fully empty my bladder. No major obstruction from prostate. It drives me mad.
Thanks so much Dr, you are a life saver. I’ve suffered from sleep Apnea for years, I’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Today I’ll talk to my doctor about frequent ruination waking up 3 or more times per night.
You are a real doctor, Dr. Park!
I just have a tendency to drink most of my water towards the end of the day. I usually sip coffee up until my first meal around noon. I don't mind waking up several times to go to the bathroom. And I always allocate 9+ hours for bedtime which means I easily get 8+ hours of sleep. I feel great and I'm not overweight.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. PARK ❤ VERY HELPFULL AND EYE OPENING VIDEO FOR MANY .
I'm recovering from four pulmonary embolisms since 2021 and taking blood thinners. So peeing during the night helps me with dehydration.
I simply stoped drinking 2-3h prior to sleeping.. and I have stopped waking up atnight to go pee..
I don't eat 4-5h prior to sleeping and thats also helped.
and now I can drink right before bed, but I tend not to as I don't want broken sleep.
It's been game changing.
Good common sense that a lot of people seem to lack
Good info Doc.thank you
Got both my kids mewing. I mew as well; but not sure how much this will help me; but also do the Buyteko breathing which helps a lot. So many parents need to have information on how to prevent these issues in their kids. This is great info. It is so common and so overlooked.
your kids must visit an orthodentist specialized in airway too (not a normal one, some orthos like teeth extractions which is theorized to be linked to sleep problems when adult). They can identify problems with palate and fix it. Its pretty easy to fix anatomical problems on kids but way difficult when adults
@@Deadmachine2012 They are both grown now. But my son does see an excellent ortho.
GREAT VIDEO, and an honest one for now pushing drugs.
I wake up 5 to 6 times every night! I have severe sleep apnea, but have side effects using CPAP. Thank you for your video.
I have developed a bad habit to drink coffee before I go to bed and one last cup just before I sleep. Which can cause troubles. But I enjoy lying in bed drinking coffee.
Don’t
@@gloriasaliba3395 I don't anymore. Only drink coffe in the morning.
🎉I'm 78, male, normal weight, no health issues. At home I get up usually twice at night to pee. I think it is from habit. I use the great outdoors a lot and when I awake at my usual 3.00am wrapped in my sleeping bag in my little tent and I remember that the toilet is 300m away across wet grass, and its raining, the need for a pee dissipates and I go back to sleep.
Yep definitely not sleep apnea. /Sarcasm
Thanks for your lessons learned to us ...very happy with it ❣️❣️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing your great advice 👍
Very well presented. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Dr. This video has given me an answer to my situation have had for over 30 years
Good intel. Thank you.
At about 1:30am and at 4am, I wake up to pee, sometimes at 6am as well
😊 eye-opening! Thanks for the information
Well done. Thank you.
I am hypothyroid. One of my symptoms was getting up multiple times to pee. I had swollen feet and I was processing the water at night. When I'm properly medicated, I only get up once or twice. Otherwise, it's like 6 times.
One other common reason for swollen legs is heart failure. When this happens, the heart gets stretched due to too much blood volume and for the same reason as what happens in apneas, the hormone atrial natriuretic hormone (ANP) is released from the heart and goes to the kidneys to make more urine.
Great teaching Doc. !
Thanks for your interesting knowledge. Your honesty is very refreshing. I wake up if I’m too warm . Not sure if it’s a thing or just that I’m over 60. Best wishes 🙏
Excellent information !!!
A few years ago I started going to the toilet a lot, it started to get up to 5-6 times a night, this was during the covid times, so going to a doctor was a bit out of the question. So I did a lot of reading on what the causes could be. I did read that one of the causes could be artificial sweeteners, which I had started taking a year or 2 before, to help with weight loss. So I stopped useing artificial sweeteners, and went back to sugar, now I maybe go once a night, some nights I can sleep for 8 full hours.
Thanks. I'll try it.
Many people although not using artificial sweeters, also get up 4 times in minight
@@HARSHDHV1 I did not say that, it was not a cause. All I did was, say what caused mine.
The reason I made the comment, is that he made sound as if it was the only reason, and not one of them.
But remeber artificial sweeters are added to food and drinks, so it's not just a case of what you use. Take diet drinks they contain artificial sweeters, some foods do as well just to cut the calorie count, which is why I now check the ingredients of processed food.
I haven't had ANY artificial sweeteners in at least 7 years...and I still get up 4-6 times a night :-( Plus, many doctors say sugar is the actual cause of frequent nighttime urination. Having said that, if what you're doing works for you that's all that matters.
@@Person-mh6xq I was not trying to say that it was the answer, it was just the answer for me.
For me I started to notice the problem during the lockdowns in the UK, so had no chance of seeing a doctor, so I did a lot of reading on the matter. And yes there are a lot of things that can cause the problem. So thought about what had I changed in my lifestyle, that couuld cause it, caffiene is one, I had reduced my caffeine intake any way. But I had started to use artificial sweeteners, which is one of the many causes, I had started to use them to help with weight loss. So I stopped using them and also looked at foods that contain artificial sweeteners, and yes it worked for me.
I posted the 1st time just to say that there are other reasons, one's that may not cost as much, as going for a medical treatment would cost. To me it sounded like an advert.
Check this out... The main reason is most of us 40 or older guys take night time pills and if you're like me and don't like to feel my pills coming up i drink a full glass of water and yes it wakes me up a couple hours later. I hate when doctors think they know everything and then think You Tube is so creditable that they make videos. I'm just a lowly Engineer with a masters in Mechanical and Robotic Engineering from Stanford, and have to double check and correct my VA doctors so frequently specially on medication prescribing i should be working there. I think sleep apnea is a bad thing, but i think hooking someone up to a machine that, is a germ cooker and as recently shown could cause cancer or makes you have nightmares because you face is being smothered in a grip or bunging cords and plastic. doesn't make sleep any better, just worse.
Dr. Park, thank you for sharing your video. It's valuable & helpful. Looking forward for more videos to come ahead.
Thank you Doctor Park thumbs up I will re-watch again as I'm shutting down for the night.
God bless 🙏🏽
Thank you Doc for this valuable information
This is my experience also. Used to get up 1, 2, sometimes 3 times a night. After getting more comfortable with CPAP (it took several months), I rarely get up even once.
Did you have frequent urination during the day too? I'm just start CPAP treatment. Thank you
I have sleep apnea which I have been treated for. 40 min into sleep I have to pee sometimes 3 times a night! I’m going to restrict water in the evening. Great video thanks
Me too, find a solution, email me Please!
My Oura ring shows fragmented sleep and the sleep cycle app records my snoring & strangulated breathing. I wake up 2-3 times to pee, though I also drink too many liquids. I have self-diagnosed UARS which I attribute to menopause + hypermobility (lax tissues). Working at it by correcting my oral posture (back of the tongue on the palate) and doing exercises to tone and expand the upper airway. I’m convinced I can resolve this and prevent full-blown OSA. Appreciate your channel!
Smooth pursuit, it sounds like you're doing all the right things. I'll be doing videos on topics related to menopause and sleep-breathing problems in the future. Stay tuned.
@@stevenpark5218 good to know, thank you!
Hello from London, UK... This is a very interesting and well-explained video thank you Steven 🥸
You’re correct, 3:00am plus or minus ten minutes.
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea after I went thru a sleep study, and have been on the ResMed AirSense CPAP machine now for 4 years...I sleep so, so much better. However I still urinate 2 to 3 times a night. I just completed 28 IMRT, IGRT treatments for Prostate Cancer and have been told I'm doing great..PSA
I used to have 3 am waking up. But now it has shifted to 1 am - just like clock work - irrespective of when I start sleeping, be it 9pm or 12 midnight, I wake up at 1 am - and of course I want to pee. I believe it is because of the multitude of medicines - for hypertension and diabetes - that I take.
THANK YOU - I have gone the whole gambit with 3 procedures and 4 Urologist and then was put on Elavil. He then said to have a sleep study which showed I did not have sleep apnea. When I got the results to my GP the said it was insomnia and he had a pill for that.
I call the clinic to see if I could see the results she said on the phone I need the $4000.00 sleep test to validate what you have described to me here. Thank you so much.
I take zinc and copper along with iodine and selenium. The zinc helps my prostrate. The iodine and selenium help my thyroid. The thyroid controls all glands. Prostrate, bladder, liver, pancreas, sweat glands, breasts all are operate correctly when you keep enough iodine in your system. I sleep much sounder and my capacity has doubled and am not in great pain when full I can sleep 7 or 8 hours without a trip to the bathroom. My flow is greater because my prostrate is operating properly .
Thank you Dr Park I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea I am see a sleep specialist in 2 weeks time - I’ve been on a bit of a health journey the last 9 months losing 60 pounds and close to reversing my DT2
Never had trouble sleeping, urination during sleep until i moved to new house. More crowded less activity. More noise, gained weight.
Best answer I ever heard. I been trying to understand my body. But since I knew little your video has answered my concern. It so logical
Very very informative video and thank you so much, I'm a new subscriber.
I drink 1glass or so of water at night and some more water all day during the daytime .
I try not to drink before bed. Thank you for sharing.
usually I wake up during my sleep twice. You said it is still normal? Thank you, doctor.
I've had this issue ever since I was I young kid. It's just been a normal part of my life.
Interesting, thanks!
I recently have been able to get down to about 4 or 5 times waking up at night, after waking up every hour or every 30 minutes for years. So I was getting up 10-20 times a night for years.
Best video I've ever seen on my (non sleeping habit.) You may have saved a lot of people who don't know, as I did. Thanks for helping many. I generally wake 3-4 times nightly.
Wow, thanks!
Good job,,!!
I am diagnosed with sleep apnea, this is totally related, when I am in worse seasons I always wake up once in the middle of the night to pee, usually like 2 to 4 hours after falling asleep.
Age 69, fit & healthy, no medication. All my life I have needed to get up at night for a pee. Sometimes more than once.
Stop drinking any liquids four hours before bedtime
I don’t mind getting up, it’s not a problem for me. I go straight back to sleep & still feel refreshed in the morning
mostly around 3am only 1 time go to bed at 11pm wakeup at 7am-8am
My wife's urologist says she does not poop enough. We were shocked and in disbelief. He put her on miralax every morning now she only gets up once a night if that
You're right ! I think you're the only one who's talking about this issue ! I believe that this is my first time to hear about it .Very worrying some !! I didn't know either ,that breathing thru mouth/ throat during sleep is damaging to heart !! 😱💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Not all Nocturia is caused by chronic diseases like heart conditons, diabetes hypertension but simple things like deviated septums which collapse or block inflowing air. Getting your septum straightened will solve this.
I thought maybe that I drink too much , I sleep well . But a had to also watch an advertisement before viewing your video .
Zero doubt in my mind that sleep apnea is what sends me to the bathroom in the wee hours. Thanks.
I have just received my mouth splint for obstructive sleep apnea.
Clinically diagnosed at 31-35 ripper hour.
I am also having surgery for a deviated septum at the end of the month. I pee 2-4 times a night.
I’m over it. It’s been like this for decades.
Hoping for a positive outcome.
This is a great video.
Thank you Dr 🙏🙂
I usually wake up first around 2-3am.
🙏🙏🙏
I have noticed that side I sleep on also has an impact not just water.
I have copd so I use oxygen at night, but I do get up about 5 times a night. I go to bed around midnight and up no later than 9am. I had copd and ended up catching the influenza flu and caught pneumonia, was in ICU for 7 days fighting for my life, was at 150 pounds and now I'm at 178. After getting out of the hospital I then had a motorcycle accident and that's when I started having problems. I also started having leg cramps. Now I'm taking magnesium glycinate for the cramps and started eating Brazil nuts. I eat cabbage with potatoes, onions and beef sausage with tomatoes and olive oil for dinner. I eat good but for some reason I started having a problem. Any help I sure would appreciate, I will start getting more sun, eat earlier like you mentioned in this video and lose some weight if you feel I should. I look forward to hearing back from you, thanks. My name is David.
