Re: Child with sleep apnea

Okay, you're right.
It's a symptom. And indicates that there is something wrong with your breathing (adenoids etc)

Re: Child with sleep apnea

Alright, I phrased it wrong the first time. After that, I phrased it right.

In children, sleep apnea is strongly associated with mouth breathing. Removal of adenoids often cures the sleep apnea.

Re: thc and sleep

THC decreases REM.
People who smoke weed everyday report rebound dreaming after cessation of smoking.
So yeah, sometimes might be nice and all. But everyday probs not

Re: Child with sleep apnea

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17721406 Removal of adenoids reverses sleep apnea There are more papers that show that it even reverses ADHD like symptoms. This is causation.

Re: Child with sleep apnea

Schedule an appointment with an ENT doctor. Sleep apnea in children can be due to anatomical reasons.
One of the main causes is mouth breathing. It is absolutely crucial to identify these thing early and treat them as soon as you can.

Re: "We still don't know what sleep apnea is."--Dr. Barbara Phillips.

I just skimmed over it, but I think she is 100% right and some of you are being overly critical Not agreeing on a single definition is a huge problem in sleep medicine. Sleep medicine is moving extremely slow for some reason. I mean have you never asked yourself why AHI >5 has been used as a cutoff?...

Re: Resmed S9 turns itself off

Short update: Swapping out the SD card seems to resolve the issue. S9 sometimes has problems accepting SD cards and will refuse to work. Also I do not recommend using a cheaper machine from a Chinese manufacturer. It looks good, but the algorithm is simply not the same. Even though I chose the same ...

Re: Resmed S9 turns itself off

gWow, thanks for all the answers! It just seems confusing as it repeatedly shuts off once a night. I am currently working in China for a short time and just decided to buy a Chinese machine instead of solving the puzzle :) I was originally thinking about getting a new machine back home, but this one...

Resmed S9 turns itself off

Hello everyone! Recently, my S9 starts turning itself off in the middle of the night (3-5am). Now, I think I can exclude - Smartstart: Turned it off - Power outage I actually have a constant camera monitoring set up and can see that I suddenly awake. The CPAP shuts itself off and restarts when smart...

Re: Sleep Apnea’s Relationship with Alzheimer’s Disease

It's obvious. But sleep apnea does not equal sleep apnea.
If you are a severe case with constant desaturations, it's more likely to happen.

Re: sleep apnea and appetite decrease?

I have it! Granted, I don't suffer from sleep apnea per se, but UARS and Reflux. If I have a bad night, I won't be able to eat anything until the evening.
