1 dskirk, regarding your answer "CPAP is short for 'continuous positive airway pressure'":yeah, we're having problems with him taking it off because it is uncomfortable. We will get insurance shortly, and I will SHOVE him into the doctor's office to do a sleep study! We might have to get one that is a little more updated, with less pressure, so it is more comfortable to him.
He has gained a lot of weight in the past few years (80lbs), he is a truck driver, and gaining weight is easy to do. I had noticed him snoring much louder than he did before, and he would take a breath, and it was several seconds before he took another one, and it sounded like he was gasping for air. I told him about it, and one of his relatives had just passed away who had sleep apnea, and he got her machine from his parents.It is a band-aid for now, I know!

How does it work? What I mean is, how does it help with sleep apnea? With sleep apnea, a person stops breathing momentarily.
This period of time... sometimes several seconds or longer.... can seriously injure the heart. Over time, it is the danger to the heart that is the most severe aspect of sleep apnea. A CPAP machine causes air to be continually forced into the lungs.
Some of the older units were uncomfortable because of the continuous pressure, but many newer CPAP machines are better able to regulate the pressure. People with several sleep apnea find that they can get a full night's sleep with these machines. However, I recommend that your husband be tested WHILE USING THE MACHINE.
That is the only way for the doctor - and your husband - to know that it is working properly for him. There are many models of CPAP machines, so please don't assume that using one solves the problem. Also, many people find the machines uncomfortable and stop using them.
All the more reason to be tested. It is a band-aid for now, I know!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
