sleep centers are a scam

[keda 56]

My surgeon says that around 98% of his patients have sleep apnea. Now that stat does seem a bit high. Either he is being duped by skewed data by the sleep center he uses or he's benefiting somehow. Either way' date=' I think it's a scam in general.

That being said, I think it truly exists. My husband who is not overweight, has it. Without his mask, he snores like a train!

I just did my sleep study and it was pure hell. I had to take an ambien which didn't work. 3 hours of softly crying turned into a full blown panic attack. But instead of ripping all the wires off and running like I wanted, I stayed with it because I want this so badly.

Well, it's no shocked that I have sleep apnea. They found something wrong with my breathing after 2 hours of sleep after being drugged and in distress. I've never slept on my back but they made me do so, never snored but I've always breathed very lightly. Never a problem. My mom finally got used to it looking like I wasn't breathing.

So now another night of hell to see how much pressure I need. Maybe I'll give my machine to my husband to replace is old one.

I think they see a fat person come in and see dollar signs.[/quote']

I so agree with you I took my Ambein finally fell alseep after an hour but the kept waking me it's so hard to sleep on your back. Your body naturally turns on its side or which ever is comfortable. It's all a scam give me the surgery.
