Sleep Apnea
As I have mentioned earlier my current cardiologist’s specialty is
cardiomyopathy and his strong theory there is a lot of correlation between
Cardiomyopathy and Sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder
affecting men, women and children in all age groups. Apnea means no
breathing so sleep apnea means pauses in breathing during sleep. The airway
becomes blocked and breathing stops repeatedly during sleep.
One in five adults has at least mild sleep apnea and one in fifteen adults
have at least moderate sleep apnea. OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) affects
1-3% of children. Sleep apnea can be treated effectively.
Well, we have a case perhaps. We have his strong theory and we have a
guinea pig, which is ill with Cardiomyopathy (myself).
So, lets conduct a test.
Lets conduct two tests to be precise.
The first test I have scheduled to be done in cardiologist lab. Lets call it
lab test.
And I also have found a group, which is conducting extensive study about
sleep apnea. They have offered me a comprehensive 4 days test. For three
days I will have to wear a watch like device and for one night technician
will come to my place and wire me out for one night. Lets call it home test.
Upon competition I‘ll be reworded with $50. Not bad, considering the rest of
my medical - financial relationship where money is going to different
direction - out of my pocket.
And as usual I will keep you posted. And what is next? My Medicine For
