snoring

[Arienette]

what makes people snore? is it healthy or indicative of some sort of problem? is there any way for a person who snores to prevent it from happening?

It depends on what originally caused your snoring (weight gain, narrow airway, getting drunk, etc) and whether this snoring is accompanied by apnea. In my case it was a fucked-up nose/throat surgery I had when I was six that caused my snoring and apnea. If it's occasional snoring, that's relatively common, but if it's heavy snoring accompanied by periods where the snorer stops breathing (apnea), it is a VERY serious condition that can lead to death by suffocation.

Depending on what caused your snoring in the first place and how severe it is, it can be treated different ways, either by something as simple as sleeping in your side instead of your back, to losing excess weight, to getting a CPAP or APAP machine (the ''solution'' I'm stuck with, for now), to surgery to remove excess tissue in the back of your mouth & throat to expand your airway.

Do you use a CPAP, APAP or BPAP? Do you have cardiac arythmia when you stop breathing?

I'm curious b/c I have obstructive sleep apnea w/cardiac arythmia and sleep w/a CPAP. Surgery is a very iffy proposition since it has such a low success rate.

I'm telling the Horde Queen you said that.

I'm going to be very careful which of you broads I sleep with.

I've been on an APAP for the past year now, with pretty good results. My doctor never really got into how my heart rate was affected by the apnea, only saying that, in the hour I was observed in the sleep lab before they finally put me on the machine, I had over 40 ''apnea events,'' which put me in the severe category. His only other suggestion was to have my tonsils removed in an attempt to widen my airway somewhat, but, given the results of the last surgery I've had, I'm not in a hurry to have that done.

My sleep study showed an average time of not breathing for about 12 seconds about 10 times an hour. The duration w/o air was long, but the frequency was not. Problem is that when I stop breathing my heart stops or skips too.
