I have never had sleep apena, but I do know a few that suffer from it and they mediacate themselves with whatever the docs prescribe.

Whew, because I always thought you should just self medicate with anything you can get your hands on! This seems like a much better idea, I wonder how come no one has ever thought of it!

You might be interested in a thing called a "pharm party" in that case. It's an alternative to just trading but with a really neat russian roulette style of fun added in. What you do is, you throw all the pills YOU have in a bowl, and then everyone at the party does the same thing with THEIR pills, and finally, the bowl is passed around like a candy jar! Only the really kool kids do it.

Wouldn't losing weight help with sleep apnea problems? Serious question.

I just read that it's a vicious cycle. You get over weight, you can get apnea. Having apnea you get less sleep and gain weight.
So, why not lose as much weight as possible. As soon as possible? I know someone who did just that and is OK, now.

Depends on the person. Obesity can certainly cause or exacerbate apnea but isn't the only contributor or cause.

as muck noted, yes weight is one of the leading causes of sleep apnea. in my case it is not cause unfortuantely. though i really wish it were, it would atleast be something i could control. i would consider myself overweight, but medically i am not. further, the weight gain has been over the last year whereas the sleep apnea has likely been going on for several years now and was likely caused by the sleep apnea and not the other way around.

in my case sleep apnea causes fatigue that has cut down on the amount excersice i do. further, being tired actually increases appetite.

Weight can be a contributor, and there is no doubt it is effecting mine. But I was suffering with Sleep Apnea in my last years in the military. I was much more fit then so weight certainly wasn't a cause then. I do believe a lot of my wieght issues after seperation from the military are related to my sleep apnea as I simple never had the energy to work out or run anymore. And now I need to lose the weight again.
