Question: Sleep apnea...Is there a cure for this and do the Doctors take this seriously?my husband snores like a pnematic drill, always tired during the day and has the classic symptoms of this disorder, he wakes up coughing more times than i can count...he is although a bit over weight so i'm not sure if the Doc will take this seriously
Answer: Sleep Apnea is SERIOUS...it is a breathing problem!!!Dont suffer from it myself but have relatives who do.Tell your hubby to go see his Doctor.They should refer him to a specialist who can suggest a suitable treatment.I have heard of some who undergo surgery to open up blocked nasal passages, and others who use some sort of mask over their nose as they sleep.I'm sure there will be other treatment options available as well.Hubby is constantly tired because his body is working sooo much harder to take in oxygen he requires to breathe and therefore not getting the rest he needs as part of everyday sleep.Some people even stop breathing for short periods...and wake up gasping for breath!!!
