Glad you are OK. i agree animals are so amazing. Obviously kitty does care about you greatly.

webexplorer · 11-03-2009, 04:07 PM

That's really scary. Do you have a sleep apnea problem?

AquaBlue · 11-03-2009, 04:10 PM

yes. I suffer from sleep apnea.

omegaman · 11-03-2009, 04:27 PM

Awesome cat! And, I am glad to know that you are ok now. I hope they can find out the cause.

My mother told me that she uses her tongue exercise once a while so that her tongue would not be weaken - to avoid the apnea. Your tongue needs the exercise. Plus, loose some weight in order to eliminate some of your fat in your body.

Just in case if your bedroom is too dry, use your humidifier especially cold weather in the winter. I think it should be at 30 to 40 humidity (humidity temperature). This is a big different especially for sleep apnea.

Also, sleep side of your shoulder on the bed instead of lay in the back. This help you to sleep well. That's it.

Some people use their special retainer to reduce their sleep apnea. But, it has a drawback - the drool "choke" in your throat when you sleep without aware of fluid builds it up. It's not quite perfect.

Good to hear that you're OK, AquaBlue!

sallylou · 11-03-2009, 05:50 PM

Orange tabbies are very special.

AquaBlue · 11-03-2009, 05:54 PM

Thanks a billion webexplorer!! I will follow your direction. I hate my mask, hate it.

Please, tell me how to do the tongue exercises. That's what I don't know how to do.

Thanks again. Thumbs way up high for your info.

AquaBlue · 11-03-2009, 05:55 PM

General medical practitioners aren't trained to deal with diabetes and related medical conditions. From what you described, it sounds quite a lot like hypoglycemia. I suggest that you ask to be referred to a diabetes specialist just to make sure everything is okay. Better to be safe than sorry.

Also, get a blood test, no matter what your doctor may think. They will even send you to a blood clinic specifically for people with diabetes because they do blood tests differently compared to a standard blood test.

Hypoglycemia is incredibly difficult to diagnose. So not every doctor will be able to find it.

shel90 · 11-03-2009, 07:21 PM

Wow! I am glad you are ok. Take it easy!

I second banjo. I wasn't diagnosed with hypoglycemia until last March; and he said I probably had it all my life-- and recommended me to go on a high-complex carb (ie. rice, rye bread), high-protein diet with minimal fruits, sweets and other things that tend to spike the blood sugar. It explained a lot, considering my previous doctors just said I was lazy, that I had mental issues and so on.

I think someone should had called the ambulance and gone to ER. I am glad you're ok ,and your cat it a Hero!

You can find it on the Google easily by typing like this, "tongue exercises for sleep apnea". It has a list of links. Some information is okay.

Just move your tongue back and forth, move around, up and down for about three minute exercise. You can create your own idea for your tongue. It is alike a French kiss.

Once awhile, I use my exercise for both tongue and mouth movement, but not at the same time. (i.e. smile, sad, mad, happy - face expressions for my muscles. It is just my preference.)

dogmom · 11-04-2009, 06:57 PM
