I've been over there before I'd rather just see an RNT I think but I know most people here are pro-cpap but my apnea is mild I think and I will take a chance cuz I don't like cpap that much but will use it if I have to One more question , could a oral appliance help me even if I breathe through my n...

Could I go to an ear nose and throat and see if a mouth piece could help me like a cpap could? I'm ok with a cpap now I just hear stuff about it and obviously it would be easier than a cpap. Is it worth a try ? Can they be a good alternative to cpap to some ppl? As far as I Know I have mild moderate...

Just wondering cuz I feel ashamed I gotta use a cpap I haven't even been using it lately and I'm not even overweight or anything I'm muscular/built And I also am not that good looking so I don't know any girl who would be interested in someone like me at my age lookin like darth vader when I sleep ...

How about a 12 year old.... and shes a girl.... how do you think she feels. You are not the only one that is in the 18 to 22 year range that is on cpap so don't blame that on not being able to find a girl friend. Put your mask back on and sleep with it every night... you will live longer that way. ...

"if he was having the exhaustion I had he would think twice" There are a lot of people that, until it happens to them, means it doesn't happen. having restful sleep your entire life does not give one perspective on another's suffering. I know from personal experience. Makes me sick sometimes at the...

Do u think most people have apnea and don't even know? Yes. Probably 75% of the population have AHI>10 by the time they are 60. For some reason, women seem to get it later in life - after menopause. But that is only a generality - many have it as kids and it goes undiagnosed. It is amazing what abu...

I agree, I think it had been a root cause in my panic disorder, and it p*sses me off when my dad thinks its all about money and that I don't need my cpap, if he was having the exhaustion I had he would think twice

I know I just posted I was just curious. I'm 18 with mild moderate sleep apnea and I basically had to force my doc to order me a sleep study and then I was diagnosed, I can't imagine how much this gets overlooked. I bet alot of people have it and don't even know or care, or care to get a sleep study...

if you're in the usmc you can't be that much overweight that it would make a difference. losing weight and gettng in shape is always good, but probably won't affect the apnea results. thank you for your service. I am not in the marines, I just always wanted to join but my mild sleep apnea is in the...
