Sleep Apnea Study – Adventures in Medicine 2008 10 02

Sleep Apnea is when your breathing stops during sleep, and it can be fatal. I made this video, with the help of the tech, Mark, to help those who are told they need a sleep study to diagnose sleep apnea. There is humor in anything, I think, but sleep apnea can be deadly and is not a joke. If your doc wants you tested, get tested. I will get my results in a week or so.

Thanks for the comments. I was taking ‘red wine by mouth’ as a? relaxant. It works, but is not always the best idea, in volume.
They say that TPM isn’t addictive. I’m just hoping….
When I first started with it, I would skip it if I was really tired before going? to bed. But then I wouldn’t get a good night’s rest. So now I take it regardless of how tired I am, and feel great, and am overall healthier, as well.
Now I just need to lose those pounds…
ok, this one’s a great vid.? i’ll be waiting for the results.
Thanks. ? Me too.
What I thought I knew about it is that the spelling was different. “sleep apnoea” Seems both? are good.. acceptable.
So question.. With all that stuff ans wireing on you.. how DO you sleep? Pill?
No,? I just closed my eyes and went to sleep.
Amazing. They’d have to knock me out.
btw: People dwho? die in their sleep? I believe in half the cases apnnoa is what did it (though may be caused by something else)
My? dad had the same problem before too, and he also had to go to the hospital to be tested. I don’t remember what happenned next, but I know that he snored so loudly that my mom stopped sleeping with him for several years.
I’m still in denial. I know I snore a? bit, but don’t want to have Disruptive Sleep Apnea.
It’s a bit sad,? eh?
Oh, I remember now what? happened after the test.
He had to use some kind of breathing machine every night(a small one, not the big one like in the hospital… maybe the size of a small vacuum cleaner).
My dad has sleep apnea and he’s been on the machine for a few years now.? i dont know how bad his is so i cant be accurate on how his condition is. good luck with the test, uncle will.
Thanks.? Results to follow in a week or so.
I’m sure Mark will be happy to read that! I don’t have access to a pool, so? I run.
good video. i have to go in for a sleep study tomorrow. he answered all my questions and added some humor. i was wondering? can you sleep on your stomach or side i can’t fall asleep on my back at all
they made me sleep on my back for a while to? induce apneas. otherwise I didn’t have them.
bill wht was on the bed at 6.03….lol
was it something happened while deep sleeping…just? joke
@wildbill1911A1 hola bill,,, espero que? esté bien.. usted es muy guapo… saludos desde Copiapó CHILE…
I’m a polysomnography student. Great video. It’s cool to see things? from the patient’s viewpoint.
@vintagesoulbox Thank you. I never thought? of the video as a teaching tool from the point of view of a student. I am glad you watched and liked it.
Bill, great video.? When I had my first test, they said I never got enough good sleep to get a baseline. I had to go back for a second test. The second time (with the cpap, I only remember waking up one time). I LOVE my cpap machine. Difference with & without it is like night and day (no pun intended.) Thanks for the video.
@vintagesoulbox You’re welcome. ? How much do you get from the patients for not revealing their dreams?
@goombahboy I decided? to risk it. No problems so far.
