Sleep Apnea – A Sleeping Epidemic

Is there a way to quickly get rid of the lines and marks my CPAP sometimes makes on my face? It can get embarassing having to go out in public with these indentations from the mask. Thanks.

There are different mask as everyone face is different. Visit sleepnet.com for a wealth of information.

I found a mask a like, I wake up with the marks but they are generally gone by the time I get to work. It is the least of my problems.

I just found a mask called a sleep weaver, that I want to try.

I have been on a CPAP for 18 months now, and acquired United Healthcare Choice Plus insurance several months ago. Will they cover my masks, CPAP and future sleep treatments?

If it is a group plan there will probably be coverage subject to a waiting period. If you had insurance immediately prior to getting this plan the waiting period will probably have been waived.

If it is an individual plan there will be a waiting period of 6 to 12 months depending upon which state you live in.

My son-in-law recently began treatment for sleep apnea. He’s 38 and has suffered from it his entire adult life, apparently. Now that he’s getting proper sleep, he has started being verbally abusive. What’s scarey is that he often can’t remember saying things he has recently said! Is there any way to get him back to normal? Is his brain having trouble making connections after all this time? We are concerned for our daughter and grandson.

Unfortunatly this is not from sleep apnea treatment, it sounds like he is a jerk. The symptoms you list are more common in pretreatment. I’m assuming he uses a Bipap or had a UPPP, there is also a chance that the treatment is not working. I think that what he really needs is counceling. What he is doing is more common in narcotics users which is also a possibility.

I posted this under the wrong category before. I have a deviated septum, one of my nostrils is almost completly closed. I also have obstructive sleep apnea (too much tissue in my throat). I’m trying to start running but when I reach about a mile I have shortness of breath. Could this be the cause?

Sure. OSA is terribly hard on your heart and cause pulmonary hypertension. Are you treating your OSA with a cpap or bipap?

the doc has me on a cpap. its not working. i cant get enough air going to my nose.

If you do not have OSA, why did they put you on cpap. A sleep study would show what is central and obstructive events. CSA is treated with Bipap ST.
