Stop Snoring Devices

What is the purpose of a sleep study to someone who snores?

(My husband, son, daughter to my dog snore.) Dr wants my husband to go to a sleep study. no sleep Apnea, because it never stops breathing when snoring is constant. my husband is scared to death and relentlessly refuses to go. I asked the doctor what to do if Sleep Apnea is found and said that the person wears a device on the face, which upset my husband still greater than it was all set. I am very confused as to why the doctor wants to put a patient through a sleep study, when the snoring does not bother him or me, he does not stop breathing during sleep, and neither one of us complains about it.

A sleep study is an easy test. You just Sleeping with some cables. These include EEG, ECG and an EMG. There is a micro snoring and airflow sensor. The test will see if your oxygen level drops while sleeping. Most people who snore do not realize they stop breathing. I did not. If you have sleep apnea, the most common treatment is CPAP. This machine has a mask over the nose. That the air pumps (not oxygen) at a certain pressure to keep airways open and prevent collapse of the airways. Snoring is a symptom, not disease. There are other treatments such as dental devices, surgery, weight loss (if a problem), so count on things not working for OSA. As I said snoring is a symptom of OSA (apnea). Sleep apnea has several side effects including high blood pressure, stroke, death by stopping breathing, car accidents, falling asleep while driving, excessive daytime sleepiness, headaches in the morning. Is a serious disease. It's just one night. See what are the results and then discuss treatment. CPAP saved my life. I've been a user for 9 years. I feel great. I want a doctor I would have pushed for an earlier trial. www.sleepnet.com http://www.Sleepapnea.org/resources/brochure.html
