Now at age 73 the doctors have diagnosed sleep apnea. Since I’ve only had seizures during my sleep is it possible that I’ve had sleep apnea all along and was diagnosed improperly?

I tend to move around in my sleep a lot and wake up each morning with the mask usually thrown from the bed. (I have a full face mask, multiple straps that go both under and over the ears as well as across the top of the head.) I currently do not have insurance and cannot afford to go see my sleep specialist for his opinion. Any ideas on how to solve my problem besides duct tape??

I keep hearing that airway obstruction can often be caused by excessive tissue around the airways, and is common in overweight people.

So – what if someone had most of the excess fat removed from their neck and face through liposuction? Would that take some of the pressure off the airway and allow it to open up a little bit? Or is this just a pipe dream? (pardon the pun)

None of the depression treatments such as medication and ECT helped.

I recently suspected sleep apnea and went for an overnight sleep study. They confirmed that I was experiencing sleep apnea, and I had a partial night’s rest using the CPAP machine at the testing location, but it wasn’t a full night’s rest using it.

The test was last weekend, and they said it would be 7-10 days for a doctor to analyze the data and get back to me. I won’t know how severe my sleep apnea is until I hear from the doc…

I was wondering if anyone would like to share their sleep apnea problems and solutions, and how well they did (or didn’t) work. I’m especially interested in anyone’s story involving depression, either due to or made worse by sleep apnea.

I’m not terribly overweight, 6ft 1in and 220 lbs, but the doc said I have a very narrow throat, and my severe allergies and sinus problems play a role.

I appreciate anyone’s storys!

Has anyone had this experience and if so does anyone know why this happens?

Is there treatment? http://sleepapneatreatmenttips.com/i-have-central-sleep-apnea-what-is-this-what-causes-it-is-there-treatment/ http://sleepapneatreatmenttips.com/i-have-central-sleep-apnea-what-is-this-what-causes-it-is-there-treatment/#comments Mon, 24 May 2010 23:02:20 +0000 Sarah Aniston http://sleepapneatreatmenttips.com/i-have-central-sleep-apnea-what-is-this-what-causes-it-is-there-treatment/ I already had a sleep study, and the doctors said I had apnea, but it was “central apnea.” They said I would stop breathing 20+ times during the night. My follow-up MRI was normal. No brain injury, damage or tumor–glad to hear THAT! I am not overweight, and they told me a PPAP or other sleep machine would NOT help me. I would like to know more about “central sleep apnea.”
