Sleep apnea treatments?
I believe that my fiance is suffering from sleep apnea.he refuses to go to the doctor and seek treatment for it.Im scared that im going to wake up one morning to find him dead from suffocation.What should I do.How can i make his get treatment
If he is tired during the day, has headaches in the morning, or has high blood pressure, explain to him that these might be coming from his sleep disturbance. That might make him more likely to get it evaluated. OSA typically doesnt lead to suffocation, though… your brain knows you arent breathing and wakes you up to make you start again…if he has underlying heart or lung disaease it is imperative that he be treated.
