Re: Sleep Abpnea???????

[Guest guest]

Dave,

I have both as well. Treating sleep apnea did not eliminate low T,

but it did help with fatigue. I would recommend getting a sleep study

done - it was my wife's observations that led the docs to order a

sleep study for me.

First thing I need to know are you over weight do you drink and what meds are

you on. My wife had sleep abpnea and the machine drove her nuts she just could

not use it. She lost 40 lbs. and it went away. If you drink or taking Xanax

this can do it also. Try a noise strip at night I use them to stop snoring.

There is a out patient surgery that works good if you can't use the machine.

As for Abpnea causing low T I have read this but never met or talked to anyone

that used the machine and got the levels back with out going on TRT.

If you are secondary I would read message 14939 it for me has been the best TRT

with Hcg. I ever had in the last 21 yrs. of being on TRT.

I was diagnosed with moderate/severe sleep apnea six months ago and

went on CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and have been

using it for the last five months. My low T is just being diagnosed

now so if it cures low T it sure didn't in my case. From my

understanding, existing sleep apnea is a relative contradiction to

TRT because it apparently can get worse. So, if someone has sleep

apnea they need to get that treated (get on CPAP) before going on

TRT. Being overweight can contribute to sleep apnea but it turns

out that over 40% of people with sleep apnea are not overweight so

it depends on your situation. Sleep Apnea is a serious condition

that can lead to an high blood pressure and an enlarged heart to

name a few.

When I went on CPAP it did help my fatigue and the feeling that I

just didn't get any sleep but it did not cure my mental fog,

depression or anxiety. I'm hopping after my low T is treated that

these other things will go away and I can start successfully loosing

weight without having depression and anxiety become a barrier to

keeping my weight off.
