Facial Skeletal developement also plays a major major role. This is highly unknown, except by people that are focusing their studies in this area. Lack of breast feeding, lack of eating solid foods when facial structures are growing/developing causes a “long face”. The jaw grows in a down and forward direction in these people (versus the more desirable horizontal growth). Horizontal jaw growth also creates more attractive individuals like square-jawed individuals, like brad pit, and Angelina Jolie. This steep jaw angle growth in “long-faced” people places the tongue much closer to the back of the throat. Making it much easier for the tongue to drop back and obstruct the airway. With the tongue in a posterior position, it’s not sitting forward as it should be, which allows the palate to narrow, and the nasal airway to narrow. Nasal breathing thus can’t take place as easy. Mouth breathing thus has to occur to compensate. Mouth breathing causes the jaw to again drop open, and causes the tongue to easily occlude the airway. I could go on and on. But I want to point out that “skeletal growth” plays THE MOST important role in sleep apnea. (PS: I’m a dentist)
My first symptom was waking up in a panic attack. That was not something my doctor considered a symptom so it took almost two years to be diagnosed while I was having panic attacks 5-6 nights a week and getting very little real sleep. It was impacting my whole life. So thankful I was finally diagnosed. Immediate relief. Don’t overlook this possibility if you have something like this.
I'm going thru this right now ....i can't sleep for over a month and most telling me its panic attacks ...sleeping pills not helping me ...im suffering so much I can't function...any tips for me till I get a sleep study?
Its Me Hi, I’m sorry I really don’t. I ended up on an prescription med that helped me sleep. Even with the sleep study the doctor said I didn’t actually stop breathing, but just had very shallow breathing. He wasn’t sure the CPAP was the answer, but it was. Apparently, my brain feels that shallow breathing is not okay and works hard to wake me up when that happens. I’m so sorry you're going through this, but at least for me I’ve been using the CPAP for six years now and I’ve never had another panic attack. I wish the same for you.
I know that this is an old video, but I have to comment. I recently did a home sleep study, and was diagnosed with severe apnea. Then went to the VA hospital to sleep over night so they could set me up with a machine. Thanks so much for this video. Not one person from the VA have even attempted to explain what I have, or why this is the right treatment for me. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe when I go back to get the machine, they'll explain everything to me. Also while trying to fall asleep, I'll suddenly jolt feeling like I stopped breathing, hope the machine helps with this.
people need to understand how serious this illness is... many people tend to ignore it and some doctors do not do a very good job of getting patients tested for it. Its simple, this disease will kill you if left untreated.
It's definitely not just obese people that are affected. I'm only five foot one and 130 lbs, but I'm sure this is what I'm suffering from as well. I hope to have a sleep study done soon because not breathing is so such a terrible experience!
Dinesh, I'd encourage you to seriously look into this. Sleep Apnea is a serious condition that puts major strain on your entire body and organs. Here is a video that I recently shared. Hope it's helpful. Best wishes. th-cam.com/video/ReZnSsBrtno/w-d-xo.html
Nice video content! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Parlandealey Melted Fat Process (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for discovering the simple secret to get rid of sleep apnea and snoring minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my BF at last got cool success with it.
I have had mild insomnia for years -- waking up around Four am on many mornings. A few months ago, I started to have only 2 to four hours of sleep each night, leaving me in a worse scenario of insomnia. By reading this plan *4InsomniaCure. Com* I was able to learn more about sleep and find out the ways to get a much better rest.?
This sleep therapy *4InsomniaCure. Com* works. I started out suffering from insomnia at a young age. Of all of treatments I have used, this is the one that effectively broke the cycle of my own sleeping disorders. I got a better sleep these days that I had put into practice the treament program constantly without fail. .
i did a sleep study finally last month, i was told i had 122 apneas in one hour. i recieved a phillips dreamstation 2 w/ a nasal mask, nasal pillow mask and the full face mask in case i am stuffy and cant use the nasal one. it has a humidifier which i love and the heated tubing. i find it very comfortable to use, much more than what people said on reddit when i joined that subreddit. i will say if you wake up during the night to it at a 20 from the ramp gradually going up to what you need, holy smokes, thats like sticking your head out of a car window going 100 down a freeway. the face mask makes my cheeks blow back thats how strong the air is, its insane. i am overweight, i had to have the sleep study done to get approval for my gastric bypass in july. so i have a pulmonologist now, and when i was diagnosed, so many things make sense now. i fall asleep sitting up, in movie theatres, i have dozed off for a second driving once. i wake up with a headache almost everyday of my freaking life. i am always tired, miserable, foggy. Since having the cpap machine, i feel like an entirely different person. If you think you have apnea, or suspect even a tiny bit, get the study, if you need a cpap, don't dick around, DO IT. it will change your life.
I didn't think I had sleep apnea because of I workout three times a week and was overweight but I realized over the years that the reason I was waking up screaming in a panic need to walk outside was that not from bad dreams felt like i was about to die or anxiety but from obstructive sleep apnea
It's awful. Are you wearing a CPAP equipment? Hope you are getting the treatment that you need. It's a serious condition, as you know. Here is a video that I just shared (4 Issues Related to Sleep Apnea): th-cam.com/video/ReZnSsBrtno/w-d-xo.html Best wishes.
Thank you. This is very well explained. Much appreciated. Have been on a cpap machine for about 3 years now. The machine made an immediate and positive difference to my life, health and sleep. Get tested if you think there is a possibility that you have this debilitating condition. The machine works like magic. Best of luck. ☘️🌝🌲
This is an excellent, well presented explanation of sleep apnea. Thank you! I've done a lot of online research, trying to get answers and simple but precise information (doctors do not take the time or provide decent information).
That's wonderful Patricia. Glad you made getting treatment a priority. In a recent educational video that I recorded, I say that CPAP machines are 100% effective if worn. Many stop wearing the equipment. Keep it up and stay healthy. Here is a video that I just shared (4 Issues Related to Sleep Apnea): th-cam.com/video/ReZnSsBrtno/w-d-xo.html
I keep waking in the night with a start because I can’t breath. I also get night terrors. I’m 55 and am post menopausal, this last two months it’s gotten worse. I’m waking three times every night now. I’m about 56 pounds over weight. I’ve noticed that even though I can breathe through my nose I feel like I’m blocked behind my nose and top of my throat. I’m not sleeping at all now 😒. Love your voice, it’s so relaxing and you explained this so well 😘
No doubt, the video is incredible, and also every time I read watch your videos I just got fastened with the content of the video. How easily you describe each and every perspective of the topic of the video. Keep posting more.

1) I have no relatives with this 2) I do have allergies and I"m on - advair, singulair, albutoral, flucinase. and even Dupixent 3) I am a total nose breather but it seems the second I lay down on my left side (best side) I feel like I'm suffocating. 4) I read Tess Grahm's book on breathing and I'm doing everything right. 5) My consistent problem seem to be that in the early morning I develop phlem in my throat just enough to cause my throat to "stick" 6) I often use a dreammachine cpap (with humidifier) but it dries my throat out and again my throat gets locked and I've come to hate cpap 7) It gives me very bad repetitive nightmares like once a minute when I try to get back to sleep.. like I'm drowning or putting things away that keep falling back down 8) Hate it !
I didn't know the cause of waking up in the middle of the night, feeling almost suffocated, with no breathing at all - untill I have seen this clip that explains clearly 'sleep Apnea' which I believe is similar to my symptoms. My sister has also developed this same problem of waking up in the middle of the night having difficulty to breathe. All doctors we both seen couldn't figure out our problem and mostly related it asthma, cardiovascular problem or unknown factors.
Thank you for an excellent explanation. I have a question: Could symptoms similar to sleep apnea be triggered by allergens, while awake ? Say, like spicy food ?
This explained every thing I wanted too know about obstructive sleep apnea! Thanks I have mild to moderate so i'm gonna keep exercising 3-5 days per.wk.and keep eating healthy and talk to my ent about my allergies! I don't really want too wear a mask f I don't have too.
. I have "woken up" into a state of sleep paralysis numerous times. Mentally conscious but, not being able to breathe through my nose (stuffy nose + deviated septum) and not being able to change to a more comfortable position or even open my mouth to breathe. I have read multiple descriptions of feeling a weight over ones chest. I haven't felt that, rather just an inability to move coupled with slow suffocation. During this time I'm still able to control breathing e.g. trying to breathe harder through a stuffy nose. This usually leads to 5-10 minutes of excruciating struggle to live (trying to breathe harder and move my body while also contemplating the fact I'm so close to death) after which, I am able to actually wake up and regain control of my body. I am sleeping on my stomach during most of these episodes. Has anyone experienced something like this? Any tips or tricks to avoid horrible suffering and suffocation during sleep paralysis?
I`m a victim of insomnia for more than 2 yrs and I thought the issue cannot be resolved. This sleep program *4InsomniaCure. Com* was suggested to me by a cognitive behavioral therapist. It helped me learn more about sleep. I had been able to have a much better sleep every single night. I love resting on my bed again.?
My father has been rattling the windows on the house for 40 years with his snoring. He was diagnosed with OSA and prescribed THE CPAP. He has never worn it and snores like a bear. His 3rd wife sleeps in another room or kicks him out into the living room. I have been waking up myself making a roaring sound. My girlfriend has complained about it and recommended a sleep study.
I've been experiencing this issue for a long time I don't really know what it was until I came across your video, yesterday it was so severe that I have to sit up for an hour during the night , I thought because I eat late at night which I did last night it's the reason for it . Thanks for sharing.
Additional risk factor: Poorly developed jaws such as found in most people with malocclusion (crooked teeth). Also people with such jaw structure that had orthodontics that retracted the anterior teeth as part of the treatment (thus further restricting tongue space).
Retruded / set back jaws are almost always the reason for sleep apnea (root cause that is) ofcourse being overweight may worsen the problem. You'll never find anyone who has good cheekbones (forward jaw) that has sleep apnea.
Everyone's tongue is roughly the same size in length, however some people have forward positioned jaws so when their jaws relax in sleep in doesn't go into their airway. Also the reason people with poorly developed jaws don't have breathing problems in the day time (regarding airway) is because they're conpensated the bad jaw position by tilting their heads forward to open the airway

I’m tall and skinny but I was in an accident June 2020 that had displaced my spine and hips making my upper spine pinch my brain stem. I’ve been well now no one else was hurt as bad or worse than me. But if I’m a little out of place I can’t breath while I’m falling asleep and I feel trapped for like 2 minutes and I pretty much need to sleep on my back because of my spine but when I sleep on my side I never have a problem breathing.
My wife is having a headache because the time I began snoring that made me chose to use this snoring remedy t.co/Dre5IfqVTi It got me 3 weeks to obtain substantial results, but after a month or so my wife announced that I had neither snored or stopped breathing during the earlier night! .
Agree , evolutionary process healing is done on a microbial level. Every cell and mechanism within it has a purpose. Nothing is junk only necessary at the right moments. 😷🙏✌️
Very Good explanation. Just like to question, breathing being so important, why does the brain allow the tongue/muscles to relax causing reduction in the airway ? For e.g the heart continues to beat constantly even in sleep.
NSD India in reality tongue is the only muscle which doesn’t relax when we go to sleep. However, when the muscle gets weaker (causes might be smoking, alcohol, age, fat storage) then tongue starts to relax, which is a huge problem. Hence it’s called sleep apnea 🤷♂️
I've been having sleep paralysis for about 20 years now, it feels like I'm dying, even if i woke up i feel so sleepy that i would go right back to sleep so i have to try so hard to stay awake and have to sit and sometimes walk around to make myself awake
I don't really even know what sleep is pretty much. Haven't had good, consistent sleep since childhood, which affect my schooling. I remember being like a zombie as a kid. I am trying to do some tongue and throat exercises and just ordered a wedge pillow. I will look into CPAP. I need sleep. I have lost a lot of weight, but it hasn't helped too much. I try to avoid high histamine foods to reduce rhinitis.
Ayyy, did you complete the sleep study. Hope you are doing well. Here is a video that I just shared (4 Issues Related to Sleep Apnea): th-cam.com/video/ReZnSsBrtno/w-d-xo.html
My right nostril is always congested and i recently gained a Lot of weight yup I have severe sleep apnea also my throat always has issues I think my tonsils are to big
I have a different issue. I snore so bad my uvula swells. I can breathe in fine but it blocks me from breathing out. Apparently 180 times per hour on average. Sleep docs wanted me to stay in their facility until my cpap came in because it was so bad.
Thanks for your great info.! Watching from Mexico cty , Pls, what’s the specialist Drs name, for these kind of problem ? So much appreciate your attention ! 75 year young grand mother .. & ur next door neighbor 💞🙏😘
I have been diagnosed with severe OSA (44 x per hr with O2 sat 71%) and am starting CPAP. I have had bilateral hip replacements and other joint surgeries and cannot sleep on my right side. I start out on my left side but during sleep become supine. Would a bed where you can raise the head of the bed (such as a Sleep Number bed) reduce apneic events while lying on my back with the head at 30 degrees or more? Thank you.
Man this disease is nothing to fool around with i just got recently diagnosed and I will be glad the CPAP machine finally comes they say it can take up to two weeks to get it

Hey I'm having severe memory issues im only 30 like I can't remember what I did the day before and I have sleep apnea I'm getting my machine soon is it to late to save my memory am I doing this all for nothing it's mild sleep apnea
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I have a cpap machine to help with my "mild sleep apnea" but feel the next day as though someone is sitting on my chest. I am not used to that continuous pressure. Thinking of returning the cpap machine and just going with a mouth guard.
Try earthing, it's good for almost all health problems and sleep apnea, go DIY a grounding pillow, mat or sheet and drink with metal cup connect to earthing.
So, I don't know if I have sleep apena however, very often either I am dreaming or literally experiencing it, that I am suffocating and can't breathe. Many times I wake up normal but afraid to go back to sleep.
Sill couldn't get the physiopathology of this condition clearly, here I have a question if you could answer, would help us to understand the exact cause: The physiopathology if sleep apnea is most likely related to A. Excessive oropharyngeal muscular Tonus during sleep B. Central nervous system respiratory depression C. Obstruction in lower airways D. A severe Angle class III malocclusion
5'6, 100 pound woman and I have severe sleep apnea -85/hrs. I'm waiting for a consult about jaw surgery as cpap forces into my stomach/intestines and it's awful
For sleep events in an hour? My insurance cut off point is 20 an hour when I was tested I had 24 one of them included holding my breath for 3 minutes and 35 seconds yikes I do use the machine now though not as often as I should I am trying my best I feel one day it might kill me otherwise if I don't get a handle on this it is causing increase in my red blood cells so my blood now loosing my body and a thicker manner trying to compensate for the fact that I keep holding my breath
For me it like this....when I want to go to sleep...the first minutes it happen..but when I actually sleep...I never wake...but the first 30 minutes to go to sleep..it always wake me up until I'm tired myself..is that sleep apnea too??

I've been experiencing this issue for a long time I don't really know what it was until I came across your video, yesterday it was so severe that I have to sit up for an hour during the night , I thought because I eat late at night which I did last night it's the reason for it . Thanks for sharing.
Easy to understand. Thanks!
Additional risk factor: Poorly developed jaws such as found in most people with malocclusion (crooked teeth). Also people with such jaw structure that had orthodontics that retracted the anterior teeth as part of the treatment (thus further restricting tongue space).
Retruded / set back jaws are almost always the reason for sleep apnea (root cause that is) ofcourse being overweight may worsen the problem. You'll never find anyone who has good cheekbones (forward jaw) that has sleep apnea.
Everyone's tongue is roughly the same size in length, however some people have forward positioned jaws so when their jaws relax in sleep in doesn't go into their airway. Also the reason people with poorly developed jaws don't have breathing problems in the day time (regarding airway) is because they're conpensated the bad jaw position by tilting their heads forward to open the airway
Why I was Dx w sleep apnea still being thin and young. Jaw surgery is the answer
cool to look back on the old vids and compare to the present ones
Very educational. Thanks Dr. Seheult
Just diagnosed. Sleep study showed oxygen dropped to 80% and apnea’s were 20-30 per hour. Waiting on cpap machine next week sometime.
jimmyburbank how’s everything now? Are you ok?
Kadazjia Young doing
Better thanks
How you adapt to that machine?.....how do you resolve that (I mean discomfort things)...(if any)
wow . Im right there with you. I just an hour ago got a call from the sleep center. severe apnea. Ill be getting a machine and mask soon.
I have had mild insomnia for years -- waking up around Four am on many mornings. A few months ago, I started to have only 2 to four hours of sleep each night, leaving me in a worse scenario of insomnia. By reading this plan *4InsomniaCure. Com* I was able to learn more about sleep and find out the ways to get a much better rest.?
Very simple explanation to laymen terms. thanks
Thank you for this, but where might I find the second video on diagnosis and treatment?
Well explained
I’m tall and skinny but I was in an accident June 2020 that had displaced my spine and hips making my upper spine pinch my brain stem. I’ve been well now no one else was hurt as bad or worse than me. But if I’m a little out of place I can’t breath while I’m falling asleep and I feel trapped for like 2 minutes and I pretty much need to sleep on my back because of my spine but when I sleep on my side I never have a problem breathing.
Thanks for this very informative video! I will look at the next one as well
Very useful video
Please allow me to use it in my presentation with some modifications
So are there exercises that would trim the fat around throat that would help reduce the occurrence of airway blockage?
My wife is having a headache because the time I began snoring that made me chose to use this snoring remedy t.co/Dre5IfqVTi It got me 3 weeks to obtain substantial results, but after a month or so my wife announced that I had neither snored or stopped breathing during the earlier night! .
This all is Wonderful information All DOCTOR'S Should have all of This ..especially with this VIRES ..GOING ON NOW.
🇺🇸🌎🌍🌏🇺🇸🏨🇬🇧
Agree , evolutionary process healing is done on a microbial level. Every cell and mechanism within it has a purpose. Nothing is junk only necessary at the right moments. 😷🙏✌️
Thank you so much for this explantion. Now I understand why Im having hard to breath during at night
Very Good explanation. Just like to question, breathing being so important, why does the brain allow the tongue/muscles to relax causing reduction in the airway ? For e.g the heart continues to beat constantly even in sleep.
NSD India in reality tongue is the only muscle which doesn’t relax when we go to sleep. However, when the muscle gets weaker (causes might be smoking, alcohol, age, fat storage) then tongue starts to relax, which is a huge problem. Hence it’s called sleep apnea 🤷♂️
Very well explained the cause of obstructive sleep apnea. Would acupressure/massage in jaw area help?
I've been having sleep paralysis for about 20 years now, it feels like I'm dying, even if i woke up i feel so sleepy that i would go right back to sleep so i have to try so hard to stay awake and have to sit and sometimes walk around to make myself awake
Thank you Dr. Seheult ...
I don't really even know what sleep is pretty much. Haven't had good, consistent sleep since childhood, which affect my schooling. I remember being like a zombie as a kid. I am trying to do some tongue and throat exercises and just ordered a wedge pillow. I will look into CPAP. I need sleep. I have lost a lot of weight, but it hasn't helped too much. I try to avoid high histamine foods to reduce rhinitis.
I have to have a sleep study done because my doctor is sure that I have it.
Ayyy, did you complete the sleep study. Hope you are doing well. Here is a video that I just shared (4 Issues Related to Sleep Apnea): th-cam.com/video/ReZnSsBrtno/w-d-xo.html
Great explanation !!
Abs visual drawing
Great Video!!
My right nostril is always congested and i recently gained a Lot of weight yup I have severe sleep apnea also my throat always has issues I think my tonsils are to big
I have severe central sleep apnea. I’d sure like to hear you address that. Thanks!
Excellent explanation.
Super helpful stuff. Thanks so much for sharing!
I have a different issue. I snore so bad my uvula swells. I can breathe in fine but it blocks me from breathing out. Apparently 180 times per hour on average. Sleep docs wanted me to stay in their facility until my cpap came in because it was so bad.
Excellently! ….very helpful….thank you!
Very clear video liked it very much -- sleep apnea
Vivian Sudhir
That's nicely explained ! Thank you
if you snore and wake up at night somewhat often then you probably have it. That is how I got a cpap machine.
I wake up gasping for air in the middle of the night, with high heart rate and legs shivering and I drink water and calm down
stailleos same here
Thanks, great Video.
thank you for this video
Thanks for your great info.! Watching from Mexico cty , Pls, what’s the specialist Drs name, for these kind of problem ? So much appreciate your attention ! 75 year young grand mother .. & ur next door neighbor 💞🙏😘
I have been diagnosed with severe OSA (44 x per hr with O2 sat 71%) and am starting CPAP. I have had bilateral hip replacements and other joint surgeries and cannot sleep on my right side. I start out on my left side but during sleep become supine. Would a bed where you can raise the head of the bed (such as a Sleep Number bed) reduce apneic events while lying on my back with the head at 30 degrees or more? Thank you.
Good information,thank you.
Do you have any information about central sleep apnea protocol?
Man this disease is nothing to fool around with i just got recently diagnosed and I will be glad the CPAP machine finally comes they say it can take up to two weeks to get it
Excellent video.. Very informative and easy to understand. Learned a lot..
+Bridget Atkinson Good to hear- thank you for the feedback
+Bridget Atkinson Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover alternative sleep apnea treatments try Tarbetti Apnea Expert Tutor( search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my partner got cool success with it.
+Bridget Atkinson interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to cure sleep apnea at home try Nadazma Amazing Sleep Helper(do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my co-worker got great success with it.
I've been studying treating bad snoring naturally and found a great website at Dravin snore site (google it if you are interested)
Exposed to industrial solvents/toxins and
Parkinson’s are risks too!
Hey I'm having severe memory issues im only 30 like I can't remember what I did the day before and I have sleep apnea I'm getting my machine soon is it to late to save my memory am I doing this all for nothing it's mild sleep apnea
Very good drawing!
Thank you so much for this video
Very informative
My 64 year old mother has severe sleep apnea.. Can she go for gallbladder removal surgery under GA?
Will it be safe?
Fascinating
Great video , very well done! Awesome!
Was just diagnosed with this.
Go chiefs!
If you push on the med cam icon it will carry you to all his videos.
Why cant surgery be done to remove that fat tissue around the neck ( trachea)?
I wanted to mention too that sleeping flat makes it worse for me. If I sleep with two or three pillows, it improves.
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I have a cpap machine to help with my "mild sleep apnea" but feel the next day as though someone is sitting on my chest. I am not used to that continuous pressure. Thinking of returning the cpap machine and just going with a mouth guard.
Try earthing, it's good for almost all health problems and sleep apnea, go DIY a grounding pillow, mat or sheet and drink with metal cup connect to earthing.
@@abrahamd2605 please explain this more
Does it mean to sleep on the floor?
can i have my double chin removed for medical reasons, say if i have sleep apnea
Isn't alcohol and eating a lot of carbohydrates near bedtime are also risk factors?
So, I don't know if I have sleep apena however, very often either I am dreaming or literally experiencing it, that I am suffocating and can't breathe. Many times I wake up normal but afraid to go back to sleep.
What is URL of video 2 of 2 on sleep apnea?
Hi Frank! Here it is: th-cam.com/video/DTgeeDj4xnI/w-d-xo.html
Sill couldn't get the physiopathology of this condition clearly, here I have a question if you could answer, would help us to understand the exact cause:
The physiopathology if sleep apnea is most likely related to
A. Excessive oropharyngeal muscular Tonus during sleep
B. Central nervous system respiratory depression
C. Obstruction in lower airways
D. A severe Angle class III malocclusion
5'6, 100 pound woman and I have severe sleep apnea -85/hrs. I'm waiting for a consult about jaw surgery as cpap forces into my stomach/intestines and it's awful
Where’s the 2nd video on solutions and diagnosis?
For sleep events in an hour? My insurance cut off point is 20 an hour when I was tested I had 24 one of them included holding my breath for 3 minutes and 35 seconds yikes I do use the machine now though not as often as I should I am trying my best I feel one day it might kill me otherwise if I don't get a handle on this it is causing increase in my red blood cells so my blood now loosing my body and a thicker manner trying to compensate for the fact that I keep holding my breath
For me it like this....when I want to go to sleep...the first minutes it happen..but when I actually sleep...I never wake...but the first 30 minutes to go to sleep..it always wake me up until I'm tired myself..is that sleep apnea too??
Wow I didn't know that about sleep apnea. So cool.
Helpful I just wish you would not suggest it is fat related. My snoring and apnea began in my teens and I was skinny. Don’t stereotype.
Doctor can you help me for any treatment got kleine Levin syndrome or any test to confirm the diagnosis other than MSLT
Sometimes a mri of the brain is done with other imaging to see if there is a change in blood flow to the thalamus/hypothalamus.
@@Medcram thanks
Where is part two?
No mention of treatments in this video
the link to part 2 went to the same video.
Amazing, thank you!
excellent
