Every once and a while I receive a patient question that really, really, really stumps me. In those situations I simply post a blog about the topic to see if YOU have any ideas.<\/p>\n

This just happened when I opened an email from Galina that focuses on sleep apnea, heart strain and heart valve function. Do you have any ideas for Galina? Here is what she writes, “Hello Adam… I love your blog and the information from everyone.\u00a0 I’d like to ask you if you have ever discussed sleep apnea and it’s strain on the heart?”<\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

\"Sleep<\/div>\n

  <\/p>\n

That’s what we have discovered regarding my husband. We are trying a mouth device to help this condition. He has a narrowed aortic valve (stenosis)<\/a> due to endocarditis and has to be checked regularly. We are here in Perth for the checkup at the moment.<\/p>\n

There is also a possibility that a few seizures he has been suffering are related to the sleep apnea, as the brain gets starved for oxygen. Any thoughts or feedback would be very much appreciated. Best, Galina”<\/p>\n

Do you have any ideas for Galina? If so, please leave a comment below!<\/p>\n

In advance, thanks for your help!!!
