Well I've been doing a bit of research on Sleep Apnea and I believe she has some of the symptoms. On one of the websites I was looking at, it said that breathing is interrupted during sleep for at least 10 seconds. This happens to my Mom but
not for 10 sec. This is what I observed the other day when she had a nap..... (That's another thing, she is sometimes tired throughout the day and takes various naps 15-30 mins..sometimes more)
She will be sleeping and all of a sudden she will hold her breath and make these strange noises. Almost as if she is breathing with her mouth closed but it seems that the back of her throat is half closed as well. That's what I think because of the noises she makes.
My Mom is overweight. She needs to lose at least 100 lbs and maybe more. She knows she has to lose weight but has never really made an effort to do so. I am looking to buy a treadmill but I had a concern...most treadmills only go up to 250 lb limit and I'm sure she weighs much more than that
One procedure I read about is Polyester Implants. It costs $2100 and is
not covered by insurance. My mom would never go for that anyway.
I really don't know what to do...
