Sleep Apnea Need Feedback
Hi,
havent posted for a long time but just want to see if anyone else has gone through the same thing.
Anyway, I did sleep test and so forth and was given a CPAP which I could never get use to. Pressure is like 6-12. My case was severe and I snore like a mammoth.
Fast foward a decade later. I went for another consultation with a different doctor for a possible surgery option because my adenoids is huge and I can barely breath through my nose. Doctor told me to go do sleep test again as it could be dangerous to operate on.
Did a home test again (not sure of the result, have asked for a copy). Doctor said it was very bad and I could die in 5 years. He suggested I go do another sleeping test at a hospital.
Apparently, my brain is not telling me to breath at night time and my oxygen level is low and my heart rate is low too.
Originally, doctor said removing my adenoids would help me breath through my nose again but he was worry about how dangerous the operation was going to be. Now he saying he doesn't want me to waste money and to do more checks.
I feel confused because my adenoids is huge and I can't breath through my nose properly but seems like this option has been put aside. I am not due to see him for another 3 months till I do this sleeping test at a hospital.
Anyone else with similar story?
