Sleep apnea is when one stops breathing during sleep. This can be dangerous and steps taken to prevent dire consequences. All medications have some risks involve and find the one will take some time.
Infant Apnea Monitor, is the most common treatment
There are not any side effects, but not getting help can be very dangerous.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea
As of right now, people can access sleep apnea treatment in locations such as the Oxygen Pillow for patented design breathing aids. Also, there is the Mayo Clinic where treatment is available.
Sleep apnea could be dangerous. Some people with sleep apnea sleep with an oxygen mask on to avoid risks. What you are describing is not sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is about abnormal rhythm in breathing while asleep. Falling asleep while talking to people is another case.
"Medications are usually not used in sleep apnea treatment. By losing weight or quitting smoking, you can possibly self treat sleep apnea problems. The alternative to this is sleeping with a breathing device."
The first step in treating Sleep Apnea is finding out the cause. For most people the cause is being overweight and losing that weight would be the first step in treating Sleep Apnea.
A treatment a doctor might give a patient who is suffering from sleep apnea is a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine, and the doctor might recommend the patient lose weight. The majority of people who have sleep apnea are overweight or obese.
No. Hypnosis can be used for treatment of psychological conditions such as slepplessness due to anxiety, but sleep apnea is a physical condition. Trying to treat sleep apnea with hypnosis would be like trying to cure a heart condition with hypnosis - it's just the wrong kind of treatment.
For moderate to severe sleep apnea, the most successful treatment is nighttime use of a ventilator, called a CPAP machine. used to treat both obstructive and central sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea cause when soft tissues relax and collapse block breathing and thus preventing inhaled air from reaching the lungs Next Central sleep apnea cause when brain doesn't send signals through lungs however when breathing passage is open it would not reach air sacs called alveoli thus leading to falling asleep
Causes of central sleep apnea include various severe and life-threatening lesions of the lower brainstem, which controls breathing. Examples include bulbar poliomyelitis , a form of polio affecting the brainstem.
Treatment for sleep apnea should always be based on the individual so the ideal treatment will vary. Possible treatments include CPAP, MRS or surgery. Life style changes such as weight loss can also be recommended.
