Question by Cokey: Snoring like a madman… what can I do about that?
It actually takes a full effort to reproduce the horrible sound I make in my sleep. And i hate myself for it. It’s such a terrible problem to have, and there is nothing I can do!
What causes really bad snoring, and is there anything I can do to help it?
I have been “diagnosed” if you will with Sleep Apnea if that’s how it’s spelled. They gave me a whole machine and mask to blow air down my throat. And that works fine and dandy… but I can’t quite drag that thing with me where ever I go. When I pass out under a dining room table, the first thing nearby friends sense in their terrible awakening is the horrible sound I’m broadcasting through the house.
Aww man it’s terrible. And I want to know what practical solutions I can use to fix it.

If you’re really worried about it, you should take her to the doctor and tell them that the antibiotics are not working and you’re worried and see what they say. The doctor knows best and will be able to help you guys out
Good luck to the both of you

Question by Seriuosly: What can I do about the drinking?
My BF is diagnosed bi-polar, is on anti-seizure medicine (depakote) and is not suppose to drink or smoke pot. As far as I know he has been good… but occasionally he has an alcoholic beer. Mostly when he craves a beer, he will order non-alcohlic… but the last three days he has had two beers each night.
I had a horrific time two months ago with his medication/drinking/smoking… and I vowed that if he didn’t clean up, I was out of here.
Tonight when I said he should not be drinking beer-alcohol… he snarled at me and said he was fine. Then I got grumpy and we really haven’t talked… he is snoring right now… and I am upset typing this note. UGH!
What can I do? What should I do? I love him dearly… but the fit two months ago… I will never do again!!!

What you need to do is follow through what you said you would do if he did drink. He knows you wont leave its why he is doing this. He is an adult and knows what will happen if he drinks, now if he hurts himself it all on him.

Question by chicojaunito: Who Should I See About Sleep Apnea and Snoring?
My dentist needed to do surgery, so I was put to sleep and the doctor told me that I had some breathing problems. What’s happening is I’ll stop breathing for a bit, then when my body realizes it, I’ll gasp for air by reflex. It happened five times during an hour long surgery and he said it may happen 50 times during a night. Happens when awake sometimes too. Also I snore like nobody’s business.
He says I should see a doctor about this. What kind of doctor should I see?

Question by Luke: I am very concerned about a First Aid lesson I received today?
Can somebody answer two questions I have on First Aid (basic level).
1. The teacher said that if a patient has a suspected spinal, is unconscious but is breathing, we should roll them into the lateral position to make sure the airways isn’t clogged, even if there’s no blood or water involved (she says the tongue may be in the way). I told her it would be alot smarter to physically remove the tongue out of the way and not touch the patient on their back because otherwise they will be in a wheelchair the rest of their lives…apparently, I’m wrong!! Where’s the sense in this, people snore and choke on their tongues hundreds of times each night (they’re unconscious and breathing). I don’t understand why we should totally wreck someone’s chance of recovering from a spinal injury just to put them on their side.
2. She also said that if you arrive at your woprkplace (you’re the first and only one there) and you find the cleaner on the floor, unconscious (you know he’s fallen down) and not breathing, you should start doing DRABCD, and do a (quote) “couple of cycles of compressions and breaths” and then if nobody has arrived to assist you, call 000 (ambulance). Why the f*ck wouldn’t we call the ambulance in first instance? 9 times out of ten, first aiders are doing it wrong, or are inequipped to handle such things, and calling paramedics is paramount because they know what they’re doing.
Thanks.

Answer by wow! bet you didnt no tht…
i would totaly agree with you on the first 1. If their breathing, then surely that shows their airways is clear and as long as you can make sure their tongue doesnt block it, why risk doing more damage? that seems stupid.
and as for the second one i was told that you should call the ambulance first…at the time its up to you to do what seems most important at that time anyway so you make that choice i guess
