So now I heat my bedroom with a thermostatically controlled electric fan heater, with my bedroom door closed, so it is not running constantly, or all of the time and hey presto, I don't have Sleep Apn
Most interesting thank you! Does anyone have any suggestions for central sleep apnoea please? I have not really found anything from my searches.
I found one medical research paper saying they had used a fan aimed at the side of the face on elderly care patients to trigger a breathing reflex?!?
No big drivers, no snoring, not overweight, not diabetic, not overly high blood pressure. Afib has been diagnosed this year so not sure if they are linked…
Hi Eva - I bought a small electric thermostatically controlled heater/fan through eBay for $20 no particular make and I have it on top of the bedside cupboard facing towards my face, so when it is running I get a blast of warm air on my face, I go to sleep on my right side, facing the fan and end up on my back with my right side towards the fan - but I've found that if I warm my bedroom first, that does the trick and I don't need the fan so much. Me Diabetic, skinny, snore apparently and sometimes I don't sleep very well some nights, but as I get older, I don't need much sleep anyway - late 70's now - hope that helps you.
