My 5 year old grandchild has enlarged adenoids and tonsils with no infection present. He is having sleep apnea, snorting, and a difficult time breathing while asleep. Surgery is scheduled but it is in over 1 month from now and his breathing has been horrible for already 2 months. So my question for you is can the adenoids completely block the airway and make someone stop breathing and not regain breathing.

I have been diagnosed with Diastolic dysfunction. It was found due to a irregular heartbeat. The echo found +2 mitral valve regurge. I went to a pulmonologist first and have no issues there. I had a right heart cath done and that is when the diagnosis was determined. I am asymptomatic (no sob, no cp, nothing). I have NIDDM, 53 years of age and overweight (5 7 , 199 lbs). I am excercising and eating better (down from 210 at Christmas). I have been tested and confirmed for very mild sleep apnea. I am trying to use a CPAP but without much luck. I am looking for alternatives to improve my heart muscle. I am on Lisinipril.

YES, please, if you can. I had bariatric sleeve surgery Dec 13th and lost 65 lbs, for which I am grateful, my diabetes is now in control and I am back on just Metformin instead of insulin 5 times a day. My sleep apnea is in remission, but I have a noisy gut. I mean really LOUD. When I lay down to sleep at night the gut seems to talk all night long, if I open my mouth the noises amplify! Sometimes it is accompanied by pain and sometimes just the annoying noise. Every time I eat I get loud tummy rumbles, sometimes my tummy is very tender and sore. I have a lot of diahrea too, sometimes uncontrollable! I have diverticulitis and IBS , so I am aware of my stomach being a very tender area for my body and I never eat breads, rice, potatoes, pasta, white flour or white sugar. Is this a serious condition or is it just something I need to get used to and live around? The worst of it is truly when I get diahrea that is so out of control I don t know when I head for the bathroom at work if I will make it in time! Last week I did not, and had to go home, it was too embarrassing and I was exhausted and weak after the attack. I have oatmeal for breakfast every day and only take Imodium when it s really bad. What else can I do to live with this condition and prevent uncontrollable diahrea? I m 67, female, had a radical hysterectomy years ago, have had 4 hernia surgeries.
