Sleep Apnea

[charger69]

Wow I am not alone, thought I was only one having sleep apnea therefore never actually mentioned before. I was diagnosed about 8 months ago as my wife wanted to beat me up due to my snoring (I never snored before so she was not used to it). My stop breathing rate was around 63 times per hour and the reason of my sleep apnea turns out to be overgrown tonsils (I always had tonsils but cruising for 3 years they grown, I had a thread asking if testosterone can grow tonsils larger) . Yes the machine, annoying as, my doctor forced me to use it threatening me that she will take my driver's licence as she does not think I am suitable for driving. In all honesty I have lots of energy for years (cruise blast gym eat) just don't feel sleepy or anything but my issues are

- getting up tired
- snoring is annoying my wife

I stopped using the machine, it's just not for me, I can't be stuck with having a machine whole my life and out that on my face every night, trust me I tried real hard. But also I didn't want that shit on my face for rest of my life. So I went back to the doctor and convince her to get me throat doctor appointment as I can't use the machine. So at the moment I am waiting for throat doctor to get my tonsils removed if he thinks it's ok to do so.

Last couple of weeks I got a new Google hub to monitor my sleep, it's pretty close to being plugged in for sleep therapy (obviously sleep therapy has tons of sensors) but it does its job, records all the snoring, coughing and inconsistent breathing pattern while just laying on your bedside table (nothing is plugged into you) ... Looking at my data, well it's bad, I snore the whole night, stop breathing so I had to move so I am moving whole night, out of 8 hours I only get 1 hour of solid sleep and rest is just restless and snoring and moving. Looking at the data I have no idea how I get up in the morning and still have energy to do everything I do (thanks to my test )

Long story short, seems like there is no proper cure, I was reading an article about a recent medication which could help sleep apnea for people not willing to use machine but I think that thing is still on trial or something.

I traveled and said fuck it about bringing machine. Major error. Woke up with a sore throat... at least I woke up. LOL
There is a new treatment without the machine. I think I named it earlier in the post. . I can’t remember the name.

While I was trying the machine, some mornings I felt crazy good, I tried the nose pillow thingy, that thing was making so much noise in my ears for some reason (my wife could not hear a thing) but for me it was like a helicopter flying over my head every time i breath in, I just couldn't get to sleep with that mask so I tried the full nose mast, helped with the noise but I couldn't get used to it.

The medicine they say for this is mostly antidepressants, some type of antidepressants could help as per WebMD

Doctors sometimes prescribe a type of antidepressant called an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) for people who have depression. If you have sleep apnea, this type of antidepressant may in theory help with that condition as well. They make it harder for you to drop into REM sleep, the deep stage during which breathing problems are most likely to happen. SSRIs may also affect the muscles around your upper airway. A few studies have shown that this can help with obstructive sleep apnea.

Not sure if I want an antidepressant in My system. Just don't know what to do to be honest, the sleep doctor said chances are I could get rid of the issue 80% after tonsils are removed but she said she have seen people with cut throats but apnea still there with 10 or 20 percent improvement only. She was pushing me hard to use the machine but I think I am just gonna die young lol
