Addiction Information To Sleep Apnea Claim
1. This is addiction information to my sleep apnea claim. Prior to finding out, I had been suffering from sleep apnea before retiring from the Military. I was going to the doctors with complaints of stroke like symptoms after exercising (PT); with vision problems and headaches for years. Not knowing I was not getting a complete night of sleep. The symptoms would last for about 30 to 40 minutes, would go away after getting some rest, but I would continue to have a headache for three to four days. In addition, I was later diagnosed with high blood pressure and a decreased interest in sex, another symptom of sleep apnea that was not properly diagnosed. Subsequently, I ended up with high blood pressure after suffering from the stroke symptoms

    Thank you very much for referring Barry along for investigation of possible obstructive sleep apnoea. I agree that he has a high likelihood of the condition given his history of snoring, witness apnoeas and his waking unrefreshed even when he sleeps well. He has symptoms of lethargy and fatigue, but also some sleepiness in passive situations, but reassuringly not whilst driving. He is also concerned by the quality of his sleep. He will go to bed at about 10.30pm, read for half an hour and fall asleep quickly when he turns the lights off. He will however wake after about three hours and will occasionally will find it difficult to get back to sleep and will sometimes read for up to an hour. When he stops reading, he will return to sleep…

    Central sleep apnea is a disorder in which your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep and contributes to heart failure which links your brain to your spinal cord and controls many functions such as heart rate. Nonetheless, there are certain factors which will more likely lead to increased risks among several individuals which are associated with central sleep apnea: especially among males who are more predispose to develop central sleep apnea than are females and Central sleep apnea is more common among older adults, especially adults older than age 65, possibly due to the fact that they may have other medical conditions or sleep patterns that are more likely to cause central sleep apnea. In addition people with atria fibrillation…

    Therefore, from my observation of alcohol and substance use (illness), and the Narcotics Anonymous (NA) support group, this illness is a serious issue that deserve attention and aware to. This illness is a life and death situation that is harmful for an individual and family/friends support system. The help of NA support groups and meetings is beneficial for an individual with the illness to make a change in their life, and turn away from drug use. It does not matter who the individual is and their age, their life is more important than having drugs to change your life for the worst. Everyone is alive to live their life to the fullest with goals, and with loved ones. If there is a need and want to live a clean life from drugs, NA and other…

    • 7 Pages

    Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that is defined by the absence of breathing for at least ten seconds due to obstruction of the airway. This obstruction can be caused by the tongue, soft palate or uvula relaxing and blocking the airway. A person with OSA will have noticeable breathing efforts, such as chest rise, but will not be able to take are into the lungs. This causes the person to startle awake. Often times the person with the sleep disorder is not even aware that they have a problem, they wake only enough to start breathing again, and then fall back asleep. Often times, a person does not figure out they have sleep apnea until a loved one notices the signs. Some of these signs include loud and chronic snoring, gasping awake,…
