Sleep Apnea: is it common to have mood swings AFTER treatment?

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

My son-in-law recently began treatment for sleep apnea. He’s 38 and has suffered from it his entire adult life, apparently. Now that he’s getting proper sleep, he has started being verbally abusive. What’s scarey is that he often can’t remember saying things he has recently said! Is there any way to get him back to normal? Is his brain having trouble making connections after all this time? We are concerned for our daughter and grandson.

Unfortunatly this is not from sleep apnea treatment, it sounds like he is a jerk. The symptoms you list are more common in pretreatment. I’m assuming he uses a Bipap or had a UPPP, there is also a chance that the treatment is not working. I think that what he really needs is counceling. What he is doing is more common in narcotics users which is also a possibility.
