Vitamin B1 is helping me a lot with my central sleep apnea. I don’t have obstructive sleep apnea. I take the B1 with Magnesium and a B complex because those all need to be taken together. I have a B1 deficiency and it’s causing my sleep apnea. Uodate: Im writing back after 3 months and I just want to say that the B1 the neurologist prescribed for me is the only B1 that works for my central sleep apnea. I bought different ones from Amazon and none of them work for my breathing issue. So some of you might want to get the B1 from your doctor if over the counter ones aren’t working. Take it with magnesium and a B complex. And take it before bed. I find this helps me to sleep good with no breathing problems than if I take it in the morning or afternoon.

I came across Dr. Eric Berg video on sleep apnea, also identifying B1 deficiency causing my high anxiety, insomnia, sleep apnea and hypertension. I take Tikva because it has also calcium, magnesium, etc. and also the Calcium Magnesium Zinc D3 Spring Valley which definitely helps my bowels and hopefully my gut inflammation. The latter definitely raises my D levels very quickly. I also sleep on my stomach and practiced mouth-taping which forces me to breathe through my nose more. I think years of singing in choir caused me to do mostly mouth-breathing. See the videos by NDX on sleep apnea and mouth taping. I finally am sleeping well, and blood pressure under much better control.

No doctor has been able to help and generally prescribed steroids which I reacted badly to because of the anticholinergic effects, i.e. mind fog and dizziness. But something did help finally: nasal rinse with saline + betadine + vinegar. I believe I have had a chronic infection of some sort, probably both bacterial and fungal. This type of rinse has been a great relief and has substantially decreased but not eliminated all my symptoms.

I'm not aware of any studies measuring inflammatory markers in UARS. However, there's one study in pre-eclamptic women showing a rise in TNF-alpha, IL-6, and CRP. Essentially, UARS presents as pre-eclampsia in pregnant women, where they don't usually have sleep apnea but have lots of flow limitation and brainwave arousals. There are some old studies showing improved fetal outcomes after applying CPAP, but it's never been applied in clinical settings. You can always ask your doctor for these studies. Here's the study: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17921067/. Here's a meta-analysis on inflammatory markers in OSA: jcsm.aasm.org/doi/full/10.5664/jcsm.3070.

Great to hear! As good as certain supplements are, they can only do so much. Ultimately, it's mainly due to anatomic/jaw structure narrowing that most modern humans suffer from to various degrees.

@@doctorstevenpark Great Doctor !!! I make my own research and now i discover that i have mallampati Score 4!!!! I was diagnosed by mild sleep apnea from 2017...and no Doctors have explain me this....i ask them neurologist what are the causes, cause i want to treat the root causes...he said to use the cpap thats the only treatment...... :-( I found out that something anatomical can actually play a role for me. I had the scores of 1-4 from Dr. I looked at Mallampati and I got a score of 4. When I stick my tongue out I can't see the lower structures of the soft palate or the arch of the palate, I can only slightly see the throat otherwise the tongue covers the picture. My tongue also seems to be about too big. I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnone in 2017. with 24 pauses in breathing per hour. I weighed 90 kg, now that I've lost over 16 kg and started jogging, blowing up balloons and doing tongue exercises over a longer period of time, the last sleep test was almost a year ago and I only had 6.7 AHI per hour and all without any aids. I jog for 20 minutes every other day, then inflate 10 balloons and do about 200-300 tongue rotations as exercise every day. I don't feel as tired anymore, but I have the feeling that I'm lacking air...I think it's oxygen...even when I'm awake and during the day...I can't tolerate CPAP, nor can I tolerate dental splints... ..I'm also taking all the supplements you recommend in this video...I've changed my diet to low carb...all the measures I've taken have already had a positive impact, but it can't continue like this. I'm only 49 years old and I just lack more energy in everyday life despite everything I've done so far. what else can I do??? If I continue to train so consistently because I also use the digiridoo for 20 minutes a day, I could eventually lead a normal life despite my anatomical problems. So far I've managed to get to 6.7 AHI without any aids? Thank you and kind regards

60nmol/L of vitamin D is considered high? Where does that idea come from? Tests done on members of an African tribe, who live their ancestral diet and live their ancestral lifestyle, and beach lifeguards, who work outside every day, found levels of 80-160 nmol/L with the mean deviation being 120-140 nmol/L. This is the level we should be aiming for. This is what we've evolved for. Unless you work outside all day, every day, you need vitamin D supplementation. This is how we lived up until the industrial revolution. We haven't had time to evolve since then.

Really fantastic video. Two things I would note are: NAC - has been shown to promote tumour growth in mice but probably has anti-cancer properties too and so people may wish to research this one more. Melatonin - if you supplement on melatonin longer term this will inhibit your body's ability to produce melatonin by itself. The focus should probably therefore be to find ways to increase melatonin naturally e.g. morning sun exposure as opposed to supplementing. FWIW I'll probably still do a trial with NAC just in case it's a game changer for me. Will be giving some of the others a try too!

In theory, jaw surgery won't correct a deviated nasal septum, since the jaw procedure enlarges the front to back dimensions of the oral cavity. A septoplasty widens the width of the nasal cavity. However, by improving obstructive sleep apnea, jaw surgery may lessen inflammation in the nose, opening up the nasal airway.
