News of Breathing-Related Sleep Disorder

Hey everyone,

If you can't or don't want to wear MADs(Mandular Advancement Devices), I just wanted to bring to your attention a potential fix and ask if you have any experience with it. I can't really bite down on a MAD - and even if I could, it is really hard to get past the sore jaw (for me, at least). It seemed like there weren't any other options, really, so I began to have ...

Hi. When lying on my side in bed I need to think about breathing and breath heavy to get to sleep. Shallow normal breathing or using the unconscious mind to control it does not bring me sleep. Do I have to take my Ventolin before bed? I haven't listed it in the signature. I have Tourette's Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Cyclothymia, ADHD, Psychosis, Back Problems, Kidney Failure and Reflux and all these contribute to a ...

I have had problems getting enough sleep for year, but I recently found I could get to sleep by using a cool pillow. Yes, that's very strange, but it seems to work for me. I now get 7 or even 8 hours of sleep per night, but I still wake up tired, and I lose energy in the afternoon. I snore like a MAC truck coming down grade with a jake brake. I have had ...

I cant sleep until late at night because I start hyperventilating before I go to sleep. I dont know why I do it but I think its psychological. I get scared and I cant go to sleep because of it. Anyone help?

Hi I've got an enquiry about something I experience when I'm dropping off to sleep and wonder if anyone's heard of it.

I have this experience like I stop breathing and suddenly wake in panic trying to tell myself to breath. I think I 've had it a while 4-5 years I think I'm 33 now. It's quite scary. I have one of these most nights but it appears once I'm fast asleep I don't ...

I believe my dad has sleep apnea as I can see him stop breathing and then half wake up all of a sudden quite a lot when he sleeps. He's on a fairly high dose of Amytryptiline which I read can cause this sort of thing. My question is how hard would it be to get him a diagnosis? I might have trouble getting him to go to too much effort to get it done ...

i used to have strange things happening to me when i was asleep/awake? sounds odd, but as i was waking up, i felt as if i was paralysed i couldnt call out or move,it felt as if a weight was on my chest,at the time i put it down to me using lots of amphetamines,but it continued even after a few years of not doing them, the last time this happened to me was last ...

Just checking to see how many people who have gained weight due to medication have also developed sleep apnea. I did. I gained 55 pounds and started falling asleep at work. I had the sleep test and it revealed that I had an apnea 120 times an hour (30 times is considered severe). They threatened to take my driver's licence away. The net result is that now I am on CPAP and can't imagine being ...
