What Is Sleep Apnea And A-fib, Related To Sleeping Disorders?
Hi, I would like to know about sleep disorder. My husband was diagnosed with sleep apnea and recently diagnosed with A-fib. His sleeping is increasingly getting worse. He tells me he does not sleep at night, and I think he does, and he sleeps/nods all day. He was a 3rd shift worker but has been retired for 3 years now. Can you tell me what is going on with him?

sleep apnea is a variety of sleep disorder charcterised by a brief pause i.e apnea during breathing and irregular sleep pattern.if ur husband is experiencing excessive day sleep and a.fib i.e atrial fibrillations which is basically a type of cardiac arrhythmia it needs further evaluation by some investigations like m.s.l.t and t.t.e the condition is although alarming but can be managed easily so ask him to do yoga daily with help of a yoga expert and consult a good homeopath or a sleep specialist regards
