inspire

Hi. I have had several sleep studies through the past 4 years and now I have been diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea and my sleep doctor has recommended Inspire and to meet with the 1 doctor in my N. Va. who performs that procedure. I never could tolerate the mask and the oral appliance worked for 2 years, but not anymore. I am concerned that the procedure could be risky( I am 82) and it seems a bit complicated to use. Could someone advise me if you have any experience with Inspire. Thanx! Lori Kolb

  1. Hello, ; welcome to our community. 😊

    I've heard good things about the Inspire implant. Sadly, this is not an option with my type of sleep apnea. Have you considered a second opinion? I will attach a few articles below and hope you will find them helpful. Warmly, — Matt G. (sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net) Team Member.
