Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I went to the dr (pulmonologist) today for an initial consult for sleep apnea. I have a sleep study scheduled for the end of November. I wanted to get this taken care of because 1) I'd been procrastinating and 2) my mom had palate surgery and has sleep apnea, and was told she could not use the CPAP machine (keeps you breathing at night). I wanted to check it out before I have surgery. The pulmonologist said that the jaw surgeries (and nose job) that I'm looking into may actually cure the sleep apnea by opening the airway. So we'll see what happens. I now have more of a medical reason to have the surgeries, which makes it a bit easier to contemplate the pain and suffering that will go along with it. Also, I'm excited at the prospect of sleeping and feeling rested. in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
