In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In some cases, side cramps that are severe, especially on your right side, and occur along with other symptoms can be a sign of a more serious medical condition, including:  Appendicitis: Your appendix is located on the right side of your lower abdominal. If your appendix starts to swell as the result of an infection, this can lead to some intense pain on your right side and possibly a fever. Your appendix will need to be examined as soon as possible to prevent a rupture. Treatment includes surgical removal of the appendix and if severe, possible treatment with antibiotics. Ovarian cysts: If you are a woman, severe pain on your right side could also be due to ovarian cysts. These cysts form in your ovary and can cause ovarian cancer. The cysts can be removed through a surgical procedure called a laparoscopy. A doctor would order blood work and possibly an abdominal CT to diagnose you. Other medical conditions that cause similar pain include testicular torsion, ectopic pregnancy, intussusception, intestinal malrotation, and bowel obstruction. Other causes for women include pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), pelvic cysts, or masses. These could all be symptoms of gallstones. Gallstones are stones that form in your gall bladder and can be very painful. But they can be removed through a surgical procedure called a cholecystectomy. Biliary disease is a condition of the right upper quadrant (RUQ). This usually represents itself as right upper quadrant pain due to stretching of the capsule of the liver with inflammation.  There can be stones or infection of the biliary tree that leads to this diagnosis.  Usually blood work and abdominal ultrasound are used to diagnose this condition. Fever may also be associated.  Surgery is the treatment option for this disease as well. These could be symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI), which occur when bacteria enters your urethra and your bladder. UTIs are more common in women. Women tend to get a UTI after sexual activity or when using a diaphragm for birth control. If the pain persists, this could be associated with an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants itself outside the uterus, often in the fallopian tubes. If an ectopic pregnancy occurs, you will feel pain based on which side the egg has implanted itself. The only treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is to terminate the pregnancy. These could be symptoms of an ulcerative colitis or a stomach ulcer. Your doctor can prescribe medication to relieve these symptoms.  Stomach ulcer result from an overuse of NSAIDS and can be very painful.  Other causes of stomach ulcers are H. Pylori bacteria. Gastroesophageal reflux disease may be causing your abdominal pain. Treatment with antacids may be necessary. Ulcerative colitis is unusual for this type of pain, but it does lead to belly pain with diarrhea and inflammation of the bowel.

Problem: Article: If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, the most common treatment is to use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine to help regulate your breathing. A CPAP machine may take some getting used to, but it will allow you to get a full night’s rest.  Ask your doctor about other devices as well. There are a number of appliances and devices other than the CPAP that may help keep your nose and throat open and help prevent sleep apnea. These include tapes that help open the nose or head straps that keep your jaw forward. Make sure that you talk to your physician and dentist before you try any devices. They will be able to give you recommendations on the best devices available. . If you are overweight, then losing weight may significantly improve or even cure your sleep apnea. To lose weight, you will need to burn more calories than you consume. Doing things like keeping a food diary to keep track of calories, eating more fruits and vegetables, and replacing high calorie beverages with water can all help. Talk to your doctor for recommendations on a weight loss plan that will work for you. Exercise can help you lose weight and help to maintain cardiovascular health, but it can also help ease the symptoms of sleep apnea. Start out easy and work your way up into more strenuous exercise. Start by trying to get 30 minutes of moderate activity, such as a brisk walk, at least 5 days a week.  You can also join a gym or do aerobics, strength training, yoga, tai chi, or chi gong.  Find something that you enjoy so that you will stick with it. The way that you sleep can also aggravate sleep apnea. Avoid sleeping on your back because this can cause your throat muscles to tighten up and your tongue to drop back into your throat. This will increase the risk of sleep apnea. Try sleeping on your side with a pillow propped behind your back to keep you from rolling onto your back. . Smoking can make sleep apnea worse, so it is important to quit smoking if you have sleep apnea. If you are a smoker, ask your doctor about smoking cessation programs in your area. Many communities offer low or no cost help to quit smoking. Alcohol and tranquilizers increase the risk of sleep apnea, so it is best to avoid these altogether if you have sleep apnea. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, try drinking a cup of warm milk or herbal tea instead.
Summary:
Ask your doctor about sleep aid devices. Get to a healthy weight Exercise most days of the week. Change your sleep position. Quit smoking Skip alcohol and tranquilizers before bed.
