My doc ...I tried the CPAP and couldn't take it. My doc suggested - really - sewing something in the back of a shirt to hold a tennis ball so when you roll over on your back - apparently the most likely time to stop breathing for most people, the discomfort of the ball either wakes you up or you roll over. I opted for a 3rd option which was to train myself to sleep on my side which while not my preference, beats the CPAP hands down and my wife doesn't have to shake me awake every night either. Good luck. It may be snake oil but I've heard of dental appliances you can wear that also help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630602462099195770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-43503406839569316612009-10-30T09:18:25.965-04:002009-10-30T09:18:25.965-04:00"My name is Hayseed and I've worn a CPAP ..."My name is Hayseed and I've worn a CPAP since 2002."<br /><br /><br />My own apnea was a known but undiagnosed condition for years. I got serious about it after my own father died. He'd had 3 heart attacks in his mid-40s and died when he was 57... wearing his CPAP. Two uncles also suffered from it. One died in his late 50s and the other in his early 60s. <br /><br />Apnea is serious stuff.Hayseednoreply@blogger.com
