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!

I have tried the CPAP machine and the oral appliance. I found out I have a deviated septum and plan to get that fixed, but thought I’d check out what is new in treating sleep apnea.
