Sedatives and Sleep Apnea

In allopathy, sedative treatments (which provide tranquilizers) are given for all types of insomniac patients. Sleep disturbances related to physical problems like pain, breathlessness or psychological problems like anxiety, drug withdrawal, nightmares and depression are not analyzed in detail, but given habit-forming sedatives to get temporary relief.

The effects of these drugs, in due course, will diminish. Then again, to get better sleep, doctor and patient go on adding the dose and frequency of the medicines. Likewise, all the chronic disease sufferers suffer from sleeplessness, which may be due to diseases or drug-induced. They are also given nothing but sedatives.

Side-effects of sedative drugs

Sleeping pills always give only artificial, temporary sleep, which will not refresh fully due to lack of REM sleep. Also, taking merely sleeping pills is Just like shutting off the light. Instead of removing the cause, if you are going to take sleeping pills, don't forget your next day is going to be more sleepless than the present day. Since patients use it as a routine, they are not aware of this symptom. If pills are prescribed for depression or other complaints, the patient can take those drugs only if they are ready to go to sleep even in the daytime, to calm them.

Sleepiness and drowsiness are the common side-effects. Also all sleeping pills can cause serious side effects like tremor, stupor, coma, weakness, dizziness, clumsiness, hallucinations, confusion, depression, rashes, slow heart beat, constipation or diarrhea and sometimes even death can occur with heavy overdoses. The sleeping pills work in all ways to make the brain dull and sleepy. So, you cannot give those drugs to children or persons whose alertness is important in learning or working.

    Yes, VERY informative lens! I myself have sleep apnea. Went through a series of tests and had to sleep at the hospital for a few nights for that, luckily it wasn't severe. I was 17 at that time too, was always falling asleep in class and a famous snorer. What worked for me? Losing weight and keeping fit. The pillow helps too. Thanks for this lens, helped me understand it even more..shall pass this on!

    Very informative! Thank you for the information. I know my husband stops breathing periodically, after snoring, but apparently it's not severe enough to make him tired during the day (most days at least!). But it's scary for me to listen to him when he occasionally starts to choke! I'll steer him to this lens.
