Sleep Apnea Symptoms And Treatments

Have you been experiencing lack of sleep at night and find yourself waking up in the wee hours of the morning to find yourself gasping for air? You have a few more hours to sleep before it’s time to get up, but you’re having difficulty going back to sleep. You realize that it’s only 1:30 in the morning. It is still dark and you are the only one struggling to get some more shut eye.

You could possibly be suffering from sleep apnea and not even know it. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes you to stop breathing for short intervals. This disorder is not easily detected because it happens while you are sleeping. If your condition goes untreated, you can suffer serious medical issues later on.

In this guide on Sleep Apnea, you will find out what this sleep disorder is about and what you can do to treat it.

* Four things that can put you at risk for developing sleep apnea

* The three types of categories of sleep apnea

* Signs and symptoms of sleep apnea

* Why it is more than just chronic snoring to diagnose this sleep disorder

* How one of the sleep apnea categories affects the throat muscles

Just about everybody suffers from a deficiency of sleep at some point or another. It might be due to jet lag, anxiousness, problems at work, or additional elements. If you’re not able or unwilling to expend enough time catching some Z’s each night, you may in time have sorry conditions because of it.

First off, deficiency of sleep brings about a lot of physical effects that will disappear if you at last get adequate slumber. You might have blurry sight, color vision deficiency, feel feeble or featherbrained, or have dark circles below your eyes. Your hands might be trembling, and you might be impatient, cranky, or overactive. You might have wicked headaches till you get some rest.

Deficiency of sleep might as well lead to mental and emotional troubles. Matters might start to seem unreal and you may have delusions. You might experience memory losses or depressive disorder. If you are prone to bipolar manic disorder, deficiency of slumber may cause a really grave setback for you.

Deficiency of sleep induces different sorts of troubles from small aggravators to grievous diseases and quandaries. The most beneficial thing to do when you cannot sleep is to treat the issue before it has gone on overly long. Lack of good sleep can be dangerous if it is not treated.

Rest In Peace, My Little Angel

Last Saturday, Mr Pug flew to Heaven.

He was the best dog you could ever ask for. He was my child, my teacher, my BEST friend. He was my personal trainer, my confidante, my cheerleader. He was my Little Angel.

His given name was Luke. But we called him by his nicknames: Mr Pug, Mini, Angelbear, Bubbles…..he had about 50 nicknames and he knew them all hahaha.

We got him when he was 8 weeks old. Back then, he could sit on one human palm. Chubby fellow he was. he lived until 12 human years old.

He was doing really well this past Winter. the cold and dry air was very easy for him to breathe. About three weeks ago, the weather became unseasonably warm. He started to slow down a little. Then two Saturdays ago, I took him to the Animal ER because he was breathing quicker shorter breaths. They put him in an oxygen chamber and game him a steroid injection. A dieuretic injection was also given to release some of the fluid build-up in his lungs.
He stayed overnight in the ER. The next day, it was a pleasant surprise to hear that he responded well and that I could take him home. He did great the next three days. It was as if he was a brand new dog. We really enjoyed these days…he walked and breathed so effortlessly. We were so happy! By the fourth day though…the familiar symptoms of short quick breathing and raspy sounds returned. By Friday he was in serious condition again.

On Saturday, I drove him to his favorite place in the world….my parent’s house and backyard. he was so happy when i told him we were headed there. At every stop light, I would massage his head and ears and beg him, "Hold on…hold on….we are almost there…." For an hour I drove the car and sang songs to him.

We made it to the house and he perked up when lifted out of the car and placed on the ground. He was so happy to greet everyone in the kitchen. he eagerly drank some water. We took him out to the backyard. He was so happy to see and smell this playground again. The remarkable thing was that he lifted his leg and peed on some plants. he had not been able to do that too much lately as that simple physical movement was to tiring for him. He sat on the lawn and stared at the sky for about 20 seconds.

He was tired.

He was carried back into the kitchen where we were all within a few feet of him. he watched us chatting at the table. Then he walked to his favorite corner of the kitchen and laid down as if to take a nap. I watched him sleep and felt he was too quiet. If you have ever watched a Pug sleep, you know that they snore, gurgle, make snot bubbles or do SOMETHING when they sleep. We went to check on him. he was in Heaven.

We did a few chest compressions….but decided to just let him go. He was finally not suffering anymore. The last two weeks had been so tough on him. it was agonizing to watch a loved one suffer so. It would have been cruel to ask him to come back to this physical life.

I was on my knees on the kitchen floor.
suddenly, this tidal wave of grief flooded in.
i put my forehead on my dog and cried.
It was a gutteral cry that came from inside the heart of your heart.
"I love you so much. I love you so much."
"You are the best dog in the world. "
Then I sat on the floor and craddled him in my arms.
I wanted to hold him forever.
Trying not to cry as i am typing this.

What will I do without you , my little Angel.
When I was scared, you reassured me.
When I was happy, you rejoiced with me.
When I was sad, you comforted me and made me laugh with your little howls.
oh, my little Angel
oh, my little Angel

We buried him in one of his favorite corners of the yard….
next to the dogwood bushes he loved to pee on.
and next to the vegetable garden.
He was wrapped in his favorite towel.
There is a blossoming fruit tree that will sprinkle flower petals upon him.
I am sobbing now.
I miss my best friend.
My heart is so broken.

Thank you for reading this.
Just wanted to put these words out into the universe so he can hear them and know how much we loved him so.

Pic of the day – Quinoa & Quietude

Ok, I’m sick. Not as sick today as yesterday. Wow, yesterday. If I had
felt like that much longer, I would have gone to the Emergency Room.

Remember the kid had maybe whooping cough, and then the test was
negative? Well, directly after that, both his dad and I came down with
the same symptoms. Then his sister’s roommate. Next … probably his
sister? The friend who gave me a ride home the Monday before?
Obviously this is hellaciously contagious. I find myself looking at my
son’s antibiotics and craving them. I leave them alone, but I want
some of my own. After a couple days, I am coughing up nasty yellow
phlegm and blood. I also have an earache. And pain in my sinuses. OK,
I can wait another day and be SURE I convince the docs I am sick
enough for antibiotics. Ah, well, I really don’t want to get so sick,
right after I just recovered from surgery. Off I go.

Med student interviews me. She asks me several questions about
pertussis. I say, "Oh, yeah, sure, we were exposed through my son’s
school, but my son tested negative. so it’s something else." Now, I
have complete laryngitis, so it is more painful croaking than actually
talking. I write stuff down on a pad of neon paper I brought with me.
She also listens to my heart for an unusually long time. The attending
comes in. He listens more. Ponders. Ask how the antibiotics did for my
son. Wow, did they help! Alright, then. They give me the same thing
they gave my son to treat possible pertussis. Does that mean they
think I have pertussis? I’m not sure. I look puzzled, but don’t ask.
The doc says something about, "We know your son wasn’t the starter
case, it was a girl at his school, but still … " I’m not remembering
this clearly, so it was probably similar words, but I don’t know the
jargon and didn’t remember. Sounds like they think I might. Hmmm.

I go off to get the prescription. Chat with people along the way.
Obviously, my brain has not kicked in. I spent about a half hour
talking to our new parish priest in the mall. Oh, that was smart!
NOT!!! Duh. That’ll teach him. Good grief. Later, I phone the dad (my
ex) and urge him to see his doc.

Meanwhile, I’ve taken my first dose, and the disease fights back. It
is war, now. My symptoms spike, and get about 200% worse within the
space of an hour, then downhill from there. The night is awful. I’m
taking codeine leftover from the surgery to control the cough. I cut
them in half so I don’t take too much. Over the night, I end up taking
4 or 5, before finally, the cough settles down and I can sleep. I also
tried the mucinex and the cough syrup. I feel AWFUL.

Then, when I wake up, it isn’t as awful. Hmmm. I figure, well, the
codeine is still in my system. But it never gets quite as bad again as
it was. The day is quiet. I nap a lot. I am alone, since the kid went
back to school. Begged to go to school. I listen to a little music,
sleep a lot, drink hot honey and lemon water constantly. The high
point of the day is when I feel like eating, and debate whether I want
my leftover chicken in fruit gravy on rice or quinoa. I decided on
rice, but the quinoa was awful pretty. Maybe I’ll try that tomorrow.
I’m still coughing plenty, so even though I’m better, I have a ways to
go.
