When is it safe to use my cpap machine (for sleep apnea) after oral surgery?

April 4th, 2011

I had a wisdom tooth pulled Friday, and it is now Sunday night. Is it safe to use my CPAP machine yet for my sleep apnea? I don’t want to cause a dry socket or anything.

You might wait until in the morning (monday) to contact your dentist and doctor about using the cpap. I use a cpap myself and have been told in the past to wait several days when i had implants put in.

What causes obstructive sleep apnea in children that already have their adenoids & tonsils out?

April 4th, 2011

If adenoids and tonsils are out, what is the treatment? CPAP only?

Although adenoids and tonsils are the most common cause, problems with deviated septum, collapseable soft tissue in the neck, and underbite can be causes as well, and may be amendable to treatment surgically.

CPAP is a good treatment, but if there’s any other surgical intervention it should be considered first especially for someone young.

do i have central sleep apnea?

April 4th, 2011

hi guys, im really confused. i gasp for air some nights while lying down BEFORE sleeping n have to get up until i get so exhausted and fall asleep. Thing is, i have no typical symptoms for central sleep apnea which are headaches, daytime sleepiness, exhaustion etc. My mom said she feels i breath just fine with no pauses/breaks while sleeping, and i never wake up from my sleep.

Does anyone know what this could be? I have GERD and maybe some anxiety..im NOT overweight either. Thanks!
i have a sleep study scheduled soon, just waiting for it.

I found out a couple of weeks ago that surplus weight is not constantly due to surplus fat, a lot of additional weight is just lying around in the pipes. I used a new diet supplement that is taking the nation by storm, it flushes out the pipes. I do not understand how it operates but I understand that I lost 17 lbs and five inches from my tummy! There’s a risk free trial at http://redaft.soundnessofbodylive.info
