Robert's sleep apnea has nothing to do with drinking, it usually doesn't as it's a medical thing, but snoring can be caused from excess drinking. That doesn't necessarily mean that snoring and sleep apnea go hand in hand. Sleep apnea is when you actually stop breathing in your sleep and the amount of times in an hour will tell how severe it is. Good grief, listen at me talking like an expert now about sleep apnea, mind you I have learnt a lot about it over these past few weeks [emoji4] #Post#: 46467-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: Moira Date: July 4, 2024, 5:03 am --------------------------------------------------------- John was diagnosed with sleep apnea in Perth ... officially diagnosed ... as he had been having problems for many, many years and it was always made worse when he was drinking ! Now he is supposed to go get checked every year ... and last night I had to keep prodding him to turn over and breath properly as I was awake with my own blocked nose for ages !!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it was the A/C heating again ??????????????? Even my nose drops did not work for ages as I could not breathe them in up my nose ! I had to sit propped up on 2 pillows until they worked and I finally got back to sleep around 8am .........after John got up and I spread out as usual and slept for 2 hours !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #Post#: 46474-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: DarienJ Date: July 4, 2024, 4:45 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I used to hate it when Robert stopped breathing in his sleep and he stopped many times per hour. He used to have to stop in his car and have a nap sometimes it affected him so much. Since using the machine he has been 100% better, but I don't think it's working as efficiently as it once did and he needs a new one. He is due to have another test done and a new machine. Sometimes it is hard to breathe up the nasal sprays with a blocked nose. Perhaps what you should do when that happens, is to use steam to unblock your nose. The old fashioned towel over your head with a bowl of hot water and vicks in it, or eucalyptus oil, and breathe it in. That works all the time ((((((((((((((((((((Moira)))))))))))))))))))) #Post#: 46481-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: Moira Date: July 5, 2024, 3:54 am --------------------------------------------------------- Been there and done that many, many times to unblock my nose .... but in the early hours and in the cold ... I could not be bothered actualleh getting up to do it the other night BUT It did cross my mind !!!!!!!!!!!!! NO problem again last night !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That sleep apnea and not breathing was always worse when John was drinking but it does not happen so often now !!!!!!!!!!!!! #Post#: 46488-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: DarienJ Date: July 5, 2024, 4:26 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Do you feel when you are going to have a blocked nose before you go to bed? Or is it only when you wake up through the night with one? If you can feel it coming on is the time to take the steam, before you go to bed. Easier said than done though sometimes. I believe you said many years ago that you had a crooked septum, like I have, and that is no doubt the cause of your nose being blocked. #Post#: 46496-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: Moira Date: July 6, 2024, 3:57 am --------------------------------------------------------- Yes I do have a deviated septum that apparently causes my bunged up nose and sinus problems. It seems to happen mostly once I am in bed so maybe I think I might snuggle down under the covers ! No bother last night either :) IF it is bad sinus and I do feel blocked up during the day then I DO the steam and Olbus Oil thing to get relief :) #Post#: 46503-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: DarienJ Date: July 6, 2024, 4:25 pm --------------------------------------------------------- That's a good thing about the Cpap machine, if I have a blocked nose, the air pushes through and I can breathe well. I know that's what I do too, snuggle down under the Duvet with only the top of my head out. #Post#: 46509-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: Moira Date: July 7, 2024, 4:10 am --------------------------------------------------------- AH well no problem last night and I Was snuggled under the duvet as it was cold !!!!!!!!!!!! Same tonight ! #Post#: 46515-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: DarienJ Date: July 7, 2024, 5:03 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I slept in this morning, woke up at 7.40!!!!!! Half the morning is gone!!! I now feel like I am behind the 8 ball and I have sheets and towels to wash and it's bloody raining again [emoji31] I have woken up with a sore throat too. I hope it's just because my mouth was dry as the machine ran out of water, it uses a lot of water, I am constantly adding more water to it. Robert's doesn't use as much water. #Post#: 46521-------------------------------------------------- Re: Emma's New Job By: Moira Date: July 8, 2024, 4:14 am --------------------------------------------------------- SO you slept in this morning ................. till 07:40 ???????????????? Bwahahahahaha OH I Say that is early !!!!!!!!!! Thats about the time I wake up and take my Thyroxine pill then cuddle back down to let the pill work its magic then I often drop off to sleep again if I Am warm and comfy :) I had to think about you and your 'machine' running out of water but I gettit now :)........ But you were talking about washing .. in a machine just before that !!!!! [emoji12] Not raining here today and a bit of sunshine and I too could wash my sheets but I could not be bothered ! OH dear what a pity never mind :)))))))))))))))))) BUT It is YOUR Fault then ............ I TOO have a sore throat today just on the right side !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
