The snoring can keep you awake.It can be cause for concern due to sleep apnea (can cause or lead to erectile dysfunction, high blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes, drowsy driving, ability to concentrate.) Have a sleep study done. It can save your life.

I’am a 38 yr old female with a no clear diagnosis
it all started in 1998 with abnormal ecg(inverted T, occasional ST elevations),at the inferior lateral , elevated d-dimer ,eleveted reuma factor
in 2001 to 2003 i had cronic bronchitis my immunoglobulines in subclass IGG1 and IGG3 were on the low side .
but in 2004 i started getting shortness of breath
first it only happened to me AFTER exercise .
that same year my D-Dimer started to elevate, but I got no treatments .
In 2003 and 2006 I did left side heart angiogram but no atherosclerosis found .
in 2006 two heart echo showed elevated pulmonary artery pressure (may and august) , (42 and 50 mmhg ),But in nov 2006 i did rightside catherization , but my pulmonary artery pressure was not elevated ( pap was at 26 mmhg ).
in 2006 my episodes of breathlessness , dyspnea , pressure in my heart , and weakness has become severe .
i can not exercise any more , do any household work ,or get too emotional because afterward i will become out of breath .
first (in 2007) My doctor gave me betablocker(concor) , but after almost 3 weeks my dyspnea got worst ,i will get very deep sleep and i will wake up and immediately i will get dyspnea (i do not snore !).
always , my lung test shows a great lungs capacity (i can inhale more air than usually ), overinflated, high residual volumes (air trapping) , but no ephysema as yet .

in September 2007 idid a stress test with blood gas measurement(finger test, blood vein ) before , during and after exercise showed a low ph (7.2), and low hco3 13.7 during and after exercise and my co2 (60) and saturation(92%) was low before starting the test and went up during and after exercise ( 96% after exercise ). they told me i had a mild metabolic acidosis , and should do more exercise , but when i do it, my dyspnea will become worst and with any physical activity my heart rate will go up to over 130 bpm (sometimes up to 156 bpm ),
.
I also notice that if I wear TIGHT CLOTHES (LIKE TIGHT JEANS PANTS ) ,OR IF I BEND DOWN , CARRY OR LIFT ANYTHING HEAVY FOR A WHILE , I WILL END UP WITH DYSPNEA THAT WILL LAST LIKE FOR EVER , WITH PRESSURE IN MY CHEST UP TO MY PALATE., I WILL ALSO FEEL REALLY WEAK .
I FEEL LIKE MY HEART HAS GONE THROUGH A SHOCK !.
LAST YEAR IN APRIL 2008 , I DID A CT ANGIO SCAN OF THE THORAX AND MY DOCTOR SAW RESTS OF TROMBOSIS IN MY LUNG ARTERIES . I WAS PUT ON WARFARINE MEDICATION(coumadine) ,BECAUSE THE DOCTOR BELIEVE THAT I SUFFER FROM CRONIC PULMONARY EMBOLISM
HE TOLD ME THAT MY DYSPNEA WILL DISAPPEAR FOR SURE AFTER A FEW MONTHS WITH THE MEDICATION AND THAT I MUST TAKE THIS MEDICATION FOR LIFE .
BUT WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSTED AND GOT A CURE FOR THIS DYSPNEA , AND PRESSURE IN MY HEART , I STILL FACE THE FACT THAT MY DYSPNEA , PRESSURE IN MY HEART , AND ALL MY SYMPTOMS MENTIONED ABOVE ,IT WAS I BIG DISAAPIONTED TO NOTICE THAT UP TILL NOW MY HORRIBLE SYMPTOMS NEVER DISSAPPPEARED .
NOW EVERY AFTERNOON AFTER 5 O”CLOCK , I WLL GET THIS HORRIBLE PRESSURE , THAT FEELS LIKE MY HEART CAN NOT HANDLE THE BLOOD AMOUNT IT GETS .
MY DOCTOR GAVE ME OTHER MEDICATIONS FOR HEART DISEASE LIKE VASTAREL (FOR ANGINA PECTORIS) AND SINGULAR , BUT TO MY DESPITE THESE MEDICATIONS MAKES THE PREESURE I FEEL IN MY HEART WORST WORST , I Can not take them .
I ‘am only taking coumadine(warfarine).

i really don’t know where to look any more for answers ,and though where i live(a small island in the Caribbean ) medical help is very poor .(TO DO MOST OF MY TESTS I HAVE TO TRAVEL ABROAD .

last year IN JANUARY , I DID A CARDIOPULMONAR TEST , and the doc saw the ekg chances .i had a ST-T DEPRESSION IN V5 and paroxysmal auricular arrithmias .

lately my doctor suspect me from having a type of vasculitis (i tested only one time positive for ant-cardiolipine and ANTI-ANA )but he gave me no futther suggestions or testes to proof this fact

i really need to know WHAT COULD THIS BE ! IS IT MY HEART , MY LUNGS , MY AORTA , ANY BLOOD CIRCULATION PROBLEM ,OR AN AUTO –IMMUNE DISEASE?.
PLEASE HELP ME , I NEED SOME MEDICAL ADVICE DESPERATELY !
MAYBE THERE IS SOMEONE OUYT THERE THAT GONE THROUGH THE SAME THINGS OR TEST AND KNOW WHAT THIS COULD BE !
I WILL ALSO LIKE TO GET A REFFERAL OF A GOOD DOCTOR OR SPECIALIST IN THESE TYPES OF COMPLICATIONS THAT KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO GIVE ME A DIAGNOSIS .
so please help me out here !
I thank you all
God bless you !

Ok so i live in a small 2 bedroom apartment and for now the baby is gonna sleep in the livingroom with me(my husband farts and snores to much so we don’t sleep in the same room) but since we moved in here 2yrs ago the apartment has never been painted.
The previous owner of this building never even painted, most of the walls are just primer, here is my dilema, my livingroom walls are the only walls that are painted but they were painted grey, a little to gloomy if you ask me.
I want to make my livingroom look a little brighter especially since the baby is going to be here soon(2 weeks). Without moving all my furniture and painting what decorating ideas can you gve me that could brighten up my livingroom a bit and make it look more of a home and not a dungeon and with a warm feeling.
Painting just isn’t an option at this point. Wall paper border, new window treatments, i don’t know……..
I should add we live in a basement apartment so we don’t get much natural light
i just want a fresh look for us and the baby. What would you do or suggest, oh i should also add that all our walls are concrete so hanging pictures and things would be extremely difficult, we haven’t had any pics put up since we moved in.

Or not?

It is not due to having to use the bathroom, and I do not have issues with snoring or breathing (such as sleep apnea) during sleep. It just seems that I happen to wake every few hours (about two to three) for no apparent reason. I’ll dream, wake, dream again, wake, etc. I am often still exhausted even after eight or nine hours of sleep, and have heard that the waking can interfere with the benefits of sleep.

Does anyone know of anything that could be causing this. I haven’t always had this waking problem, it is fairly recent.

i.e., be a generally quiet sleeper with sleep apnea

I have read about some people on yahoo answers who have dogs that snore looking for solutions and people respond with it’s cute etc.. that reallly annoys me because it’s not anything near being cute I have another dog and he does not snore both of us cant sleep when the puppy is in the room so I put him in another room of the house this of course works fine but is there any other fix to this if it continues he sounds like darth vader and sometimes there is even a little bit of a whistle to it, I may want to take my dog camping when he gets older but cant because the snoring will keep everyone awake including my other dog… it’s not cute at all, it’s a big problem especially for light sleepers so what do I do always quarantine him at night or is there something I can buy that helps… I am pretty surprised he snores since Dobermans dont have flat faces like a bulldog for example maybe he will grow out of it? Also the vet says there is nothing wrong respitory wise or with lungs etc

MY MOM snores like its a train wreck coming threw my house…! HELP ME

My 10 year old son has a real bad breathing problem at night when he sleeps. He breathes through his mouth because it sounds like he has an obstruction in his nose. I know my oldest had polyps removed for the same reason. Is there anything over the counter besides nose strips or spray to help this or is surgery my only option. It is really bad. He sometimes stops breathing for a second and then opens his mouth to breath. It sounds really uncomfortable and I know he does not get a good night sleep. I cant even stand it when I have a cold and have to breath through my mouth but he does this every night. I wish there was a home remedy I could try instead of dosing him with medication,. Thanks.
