Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this (e-book/paperback edition) to help all of the people out there with a CPAP machine, or in the process of getting a CPAP machine. I have been working for over 20 years with CPAP patients and their families. I have been fortunate to setup over 1000 patients in their home, my office, and on occasion in the hospital. In my opinion there are numerous patients that are not getting the correct initial therapy, or maintenance therapy they deserve during their treatment of their sleep apnea. The primary reasons, I have noticed are the following: 1) There are many home equipment companies that just want to make a buck; patient care is not there number one goal. 2) There are companies that don't have the experienced staff needed to manage CPAP therapy. Minimally, a trained Respiratory Therapist or Registered Nurse is the only person(s) that should be setting up your CPAP. 3) Lots of the patients do not completely understand how dangerous untreated sleep apnea can be. (Some) primary doctors are not explaining the seriousness of sleep apnea effectively, or unable to explain it to the patients in a manner they (the patient) would truly understand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linda MecklerThere are over eighteen million people who have Sleep Apnea. I have had Sleep Apnea for several years. I have had several sleep studies. I sleep with a full-face mask. That is my picture on the cover of this book hooked up for a Sleep Study. I do not like sleeping with a CPAP Mask. It is uncomfortable and it interferes at times with my sleep but I would rather be uncomfortable at times than sleep without my CPAP Mask. This book will give you a step by step program from the time you have symptoms, to your doctor, sleep study and ending with the CPAP Machine.My StoryTen years ago, when I started to wake up during the night gasping for breath I didn't know what was happening to me. It took me six months before I reported this to my doctor. I had medical insurance through the County and it wasn't very good insurance but I was happy to have it. The doctor said, "you need a Sleep Study and possibly and CPAP Machine which are very expensive." It took me a year of appeals to finally receive my Sleep Study and then my CPAP Machine. There wasn't any charge to me for the Sleep Study or the CPAP Machine since I had the County Medical Insurance. Thank you County Medical.When you use a CPAP Machine nightly you are entitled to a reduction in your electric bill.INTRODUCTIONSleep Apnea is not fun to sleep with. It creates problems with your sleeping partner, yourself, and can be easily diagnosed and treated in adults and children.I am not a doctor or a sleep study specialist, or a CPAP Machine professional. I am only a person who has Sleep Apnea. If you have any questions go to your doctor.
Download or read book The Quick and Easy Sleep Apnea Book written by Gautam Soparkar, MD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-08-26 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have sleep apnea, think you might have it, or know someone who does, this award-winning book is for you! Sleep apnea is a relatively new subject in health care. It is very common and is associated with many other medical conditions, particularly high blood pressure, heart disease, and strokes. However, awareness about sleep apnea is lacking, and misconceptions are common. It is very easy to pass off the signs and symptoms of sleep apnea. Most people with this condition don’t even know they have it. This is very unfortunate because effective, even life-transforming, treatment is available. The consequences of untreated sleep apnea are wide-ranging and can be devastating. This book is a concise, illustrated, practical, and readable guide to this common and potentially serious condition. The reader will learn about when to suspect sleep apnea, what other conditions are linked to it, why it is important to detect it, how to get tested for it, and what to expect if treatment is required. The book is written by a doctor who is involved in the care of patients with sleep apnea and many of the health problems that go with it.

Sleep Apnea Could Be Killing You... Sleep Apnea is widely prevalent, affecting 1 in 15 people. As well, it is VERY often either left poorly treated, or not at all. When either happens, a cascade of other diseases frequently exists. These diseases, (High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Strokes, and so many more) are often treated symptomatically without treating the actual cause. Sleep apnea can be the reason for so many of these diseases. The amount of treatment options is extensive, with only a select few that lead the way. Some suggest CPAP, some suggest oral appliances, and some will try everything available with little success. You've heard it all before, we need to get a quality night sleep of 6-8 hours to function optimally (about a 3rd of our lives). If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, you need to get treated...FAST. This is Where This Book Will Help You or a Loved One Immensely! We'll go over the EXACT treatment options available, from LEAST invasive to MOST invasive. Along the way we'll debunk the options that actually work (and the ones that are crap). We'll also cover some of the future treatments only in this sixth edition. While it is always of utmost importance to seek advice of your doctor, this book will help you in understanding some of those treatment options. As well as perhaps what to ask at your next doctor or sleep clinic visit. Do You Want To Breathe & Sleep Easy Again? Start Hacking Sleep Apnea - NOW!
