Snoring? It could be sleep apnea

I HAD sleep apnea. My ear, nose and throat guy cured that problem...

 

How? Did you have surgery? Or are you on the CPAP machine? I think hubby has it. Some nights between that and the RLS, I have to move to the couch. I'm pretty used to the snoring, but the RLS drives me nuts. LOL Our next mattress is going to be the memory foam type.

 

Yeah, I had surgery. He went in and fixed my deviated septum, trimmed my turbinates, trimmed my pallet, removed my uvula and took out my tonsils all in one shot.
The very first night after surgery the snoring stopped, and I haven't stopped breathing in my sleep since. Heck I can't even make a snoring noise if I try to....LOL
I had this done just this last April.
I tried the CPAP machine and it messed up my sinuses real bad and the mask I had to wear was a royal pain.

 

Wow, I bet you were a hurting unit for a while after all that.

Glad to hear it was successful. Did your insurance cover it?

 

It actually wasn't as bad as I expected. One thing that really helped was I had a VERY skilled surgeon, IMO that makes all the difference in the world.
Also the liquid pain meds helped...

Anybody that has sleep apnea that doesn't care for the CPAP machine I recommend having the surgery done as it's not that bad, and this comes from a person that had never had any kind of surgery before.

 

THe OSA is what I had, I have been REALLY pleased with my results, no more waking up gasping for air and I don't keep the wife awake with my snoring.
I know when I made the decision to have my surgery done they told me up front that there was a 50% chance it wouldn't cure the OSA, IMHO it is worth taking the chance.
I think that your chances for favorable results are better with a very skilled and experienced surgeon also.
