Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Andy did a sleep study when he was about 20 because the house shook when he slept - his snoring kept the rest of us awake. When visiting grandma a the summer cabin, he was " banished " to her bedroom because she snored too and they couldn't hear each other at night :-) The results showed that he did not have periods of sleep apnea, but he did snore - that was confirmed :-) The doc recommended a Bi-Pap machine so he tried it. Andy went along with the Bi-pap for about 2 months but he was miserable - he got hot and sweaty under the mask and it was difficult to move in bed. He didn't want to continue. We didn't feel we could force him - he doesn't even know what snoring is - much less hear it! He was essentially using the Bi-Pap for everyone else in the house, so he quit. Ironically, he hasn't been snoring since. Could the bi-pap opened up his airway?? Maybe he outgrew those potentially large adenoids???? Who knows! Just a strange story, isn't it?
