Affect of sleep apnea on the heart and pulse ox use

Post by Pad A Cheek » Thu May 14, 2009 8:24 am

Hey,
I listened to Dr. Steven Park's webinar this week and then I posted a question for him on his forum.
Here is the link:

and the answer he gave.

This is about how sleep apnea affects your body in ways we may not realize.
This is just for those who want to go there to check out what the doctor said about hearts and sleep apnea. I learned something.

So .... if you are still getting up to pee at night, that would be another indication that your treatment is not working effectively (a monitoring measure that does not require buying an oximeter ... but I think oximeters are inexpensive enough now that buying one should be a priority for us OSA sufferers).
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.
