What Is The Treatment For Sleep Apnea And Weight Loss?
Hello from UK
My husband had decompression operation for ACM in 1974 before MRI scanning here. He developed sleep aponea in 2007 and uses a bipap. Now it seems he has diabetes but is being investigated further including more scanning. Could there be some link to ACM please? He falls very dramatically, has lost a lot of weight of late and has sight and hearing loss - over above the norm for a 63 year old man.
Thank you.

Hello,
It is not related to ACM. Uncontrolled diabetes may be the reason for unexplained weight loss. Consult a pulmonologist and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
