Rosie O’Donnell and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (The View)
Rosie O’Donnell and her guest, sleep doctor Michael Breus, discuss the diagnosis and treatment of her sleep apnea. Rosie discusses the process of being diagnosed via a sleep study, and demonstrates how to use her CPAP mask. Dr. Breus explains what obstructive sleep apnea is and how it can affect physical and mental health. He also explains the symptoms of OSA and talks about how women in particular often believe they have insomnia when in fact they have apnea.

Not true. Sorry, …
Not true. Sorry, but that is just not true. In a lot of cases the condition is the factor that makes people overweight. You cannot really excercise if you are falling asleep.
Also, there are many factors in this condition.
Just curious. Where did you get your medical diploma? (So I do not send my kids there, I mean)

Im 29 years old, with no weight problem, RN and exercise pretty regularly and was told I have pretty severe apnea. I don’t want the cpap, but read I can possibly have a surgery called uvulopalatopharyngeal plasty to help. Let’s see.

Do you actually know anything about sleep apnea. Weight is not the definitive cause of sleep apnea. You can be overweight and never get suffer from it. You can be of a healthy weight and have it. I have sleep apnea and yes I am overweight. But, there were others in the sleep apnea class I took that were of a healthy weight. Our therapist confirmed that weight is not always the cause can be muscular as well. PLease get your facts straight.

im a 22 year old female and yep i have sleep apnea. Luckily i have lost 50lbs and my doc says with the rate that im going, my sleep apnea may go away. Unfortunately i sleep with my mouth open so i have to use a full mouth piece. Its pretty embarassing when people come in my room and see it but its sooo worth it. plus i dont live with my boyfriend so hopefully wen we move intogether i wont have to wear it anymore. BUT IT WORKS WONDERS. i have even started getting A’s in school!

She will never use the mask for the long term. My doctor found an adjustment to the sinus’s that is a permanent answer to Sleep Apnea. CHeck out jlsiesta69 and see info video. You’ll be suprised at what you see.

im a sleep tech.. and i have seen wonders what a cpap machine can do on someone who is sleep deprived. CPAP is not for everyone but it can help. There are other methds such as the surgery, dental devices and losing weigth if you dont want to wear the mask.

Hey everyone, Please tune in to watch Rosie’s brand new Variety show which is a thanksgiving special called Rosie Live. It is on nbc on nov 26th at 8pm. I heard it is going to be really good.
Some great …
Some great information here. To those who have spoken about surgery, it rarely works, tonsillectomy in your teens can be effective, but in adults 6-9 months post surgery (UPPP)I have not seen a single patient who’s sleep related breathing disorder was effectively treated. And yes this is a treatment, similar to a diabetic uses insulin as a treatment, CPAP is a sleep apnea treatment. Weight loss is the only cure, I am the technical director of a sleep disorders centre

The Snoring Isn’t Sexy website encourages patients to discuss their experiences with CPAP, Dental Mouthpieces and Pillar procedure. Visit the “Patient Comments” section and rate your appliance, CPAP or surgical procedure’s effectiveness.

Playing the didgeridoo has helped me and they didn’t mention that on the RR show. I love it and I’m getting good at it now. There is a fun yet educational video on YouTube about this on my “Crazy Cures” channel. Just search YouTube for “sleep apnea didgeridoo” and you’ll see it right at the top.
