Question by ignitkrit: I have very bad sleep apnea, and i snore loudly..can I do surgery myself with paper clips and a laser pointer?
My snoring really bothers my wife. I was considering performing emergency surgery on myself here at the office and surpising her with no snoring tonight. Would I need any other office supplies that I may have looked over?

Answer by reichman2007 How about BRAIN surgery instead?
The NORAD is an FDA approved oral appliance for the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. It is a “boil & bite” appliance which means it can be fit and delivered to a patient immediately without waiting for lab fabrication. This makes it an ideal temporary appliance to use when patients need to undergo dental work or if they’ve lost or damaged their existing appliance. The strong construction of the NORAD will hold up to many months and even years of use making this boil & bite appliance even more versitile. Many of the features found on the NORAD have never been available in a boil & bite appliance before and some are not even available on much more expensive lab fabricated appliances.
Question by bry7josh: I went for my sleep study. The good news is I don’t have narcolepsy, However I have disturbed sleep apnea.
Just thought I’d share the good new. But I didn’t find out what they do for disturbed sleep apnea. They say my oxygen level went down to 80 and they put me on oxygen. Then they say I had leg kicks, snoring and coughing. I guess this is why they call it disturbed sleep apnea. Does any one know what kind of treatments they use to treat this disorder. Thank you for your answers. Hugs! Von

Answer by phoenixheat Discuss this with your doctor. Or you can look it up online. There is definitely a need, however, for treatment.
