Stop Snoring Remedies

Question by Steve: Is sleep apnea a real problem, or is the doctor trying to scam me?
My doctor, who’s new because I moved, referred me to a “sleep specialist” because I told him I snored heavily, am often tired during the day, and am overweight. The sleep specialist, after having me sleep with a bunch of wires strapped to me for a night, diagnosed me with “obstructive sleep apnea”, and is telling me I need a breathing machine for when I sleep at night as treatment. Also, he’s told me all sorts of stuff about health risks from the apnea: I’ll get to being fatigued to the point of narcolepsy, I’m at even more risk for an early heart attack, even though I’ve started going to the gym I won’t be able to lose weight, etc.

Now, what I want to know is, are there really health risks from sleep apnea, and is it a real problem, or is it just some sort of medical fad or scam?

if you were diagnosed you need to to do what the doctor says. sleep apnea can be fatal if not taken seriously.

OMG…isn’t it awful!!??? I have started sleeping in one of the guest rooms because I just wasn’t getting enough sleep. My husband wasn’t either because I was constantly waking him up. We both became very irritable. Now, we’re just as happy as can be.
Why does it matter if you actually “sleep” in the same bed? You’re asleep!
Good Luck!!
