Weight issues aren’t always the problem to sleep apnea. I’ve had sleep apnea for years and I’ve NEVER had a weight problem. I’ve been a healthy weight my whole life. Sure, sleep apnea can ALSO be caused by being over weight. But, that’s not the only way you can have it. Do some research next time you decide to be a smart ass.
yup..every one that feel they might have sleep apnea..should definetly get it checked out…..it only gets worse..loosing weight; not drinking alcohol and smoking can help, but wont fix the problem….GET IT CHECKED OUT ASAP…….
It gets worse? Are you sure? My dad has had it for as long as I can remember. At least twenty years. And it hasn’t seemed to get worse. He just has to take a lot of naps and stuff. I used to be annoyed by his snoring. But now it makes me happy cause at least I know he’s sleeping peacefully. But anyways I was worried by you saying it gets worse cause the doctor said I either have it or will. But I sleep just fine now.
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes a person to stop breathing for short periods of time during their sleep. The most effective way to treat this condition is with continuous positive airway pressure, also known as CPAP.
Weight is a key factor on the pressure pun on to your chest and abdomen. As little as the weight normally gained in a pregnancy can worsen the condition.
We said to our dad that we had secretly filmed while asleep and this was the video..
He believed us was really embarrassed that it was on youtube.He does look like my dad.
My brother has sleep apnea. One of his problems, he’ll sit there and will be talking to you, then a second later he’ll start snoring. I think that’s only a part of it.
Sleep apnea can cause anoxia to the point of seizure. I have had a personal experience with this. Had to call 911 on a friend. In the end everything was fine but it could have been fatal.
it all depends why you have it in the first place. It can only gett better if lets say his problem is weight. Lets say a person weighs 400 pounds and his sleep apnea is caused by that. Now this person losses 200 pounds …if the apnea is caused only by weight then it makes sense if you lose weight your apnea gets better. HOWEVER…most people have apnea for other reasons and while losing weight might help it WILL NOT eliminate Sleep Apnea. Get your dad to a DR right away
Just because you think you sleep fine does not mean that you do. When you slow down or stop breathing your brain awakes ever time. These awakenings are so short that you do not ever remember them. So while you think that you slept for 6 hours you might only be sleeping half of it. Let alone that due to these arausals or awakenings your brain never gets into deeper stages of sleep because it is constantly awakening. Most People that have sleep apnea cant tell that they do.They say I sleep fine.
Sleeping on your side makes no difference if you have a soft palate collapse or nasal passage blockage. That ’sleep on your side’ is an old husband’s myth.
Even skinny people and young children have sleep apnoea. It is again a myth overweight people are the only ones who suffer.
Above comments are interesting, but some are off base and some right on. Read ‘Deadly Sleep: Is Your Sleep Killing You?’for the real story. Some will be shocked, others dismayed, but all will be wiser. And who knows, there might even be a life of two saved in the process
Lose weight and sleep apnea will disappear forever.
There is no need for a fucking machine.
lmao, my dad use to snore worse the neighbours could hear it.

Actually I’m not overweight at all and i have it. So you shouldn’t think you know everything.
I heard the same that your weight has nothing to do with.
Weight issues CAN cause it but, it’s not the ONLY thing that can cause it.
lol

tell chubby to lose weight
No, it really can take its toll on you.

There are several causes, and yes, skinny people can snore too. I was diagnosed in 2002 at Ohio State. My CPAP changed my life.
Sleep apnea almost killed me, too. Now I take Secrets of Eden Acai Energy Boost and use a CPAP.
I thank God for both!
I had a similar problem. Then I started drinking the Coca-Cola Company’s ‘Coca-Cola’ product.
Praise the Lord for Coca-Cola! And always live on the Coke side of life!
