Suggest Treatment For Sleep Apnea Not Responding To C-Pap And Bi-Pap Therapies
My husband s doctor (sleep study) is dismissing him because they can no longer help him. They have tried c-pap, bi-pap and neither seems to help my husband. His doctors are at a loss as to my husband s next step in treatment. He is under a cardiologist s care and has afib but not heart related. He can breath in but does not exhale completely so he can flat line for a few seconds. What doctor do you recommend for him to see. Thanks, La

HI
He needs to see an ear, nose and throat surgeon to see if removing his tonsils, adenoids, and some tissue from his pharynx will help with his sleep apnea
