Ironically i was looking forward to learn about the topic today and it popped up in notifications to my utter happiness ! It would have been great if management were also discussed!

[@AvianRap]

The most informative video I've seen so far, thanks! Just did 2 tests and I likely have it. I'm 26 now and have struggled with these subtle but still severe symptoms.

[@GaminHasard]

go get treatment! you are 10 years ahead of me. it will only get worse probably.

[@TheCambra]

This is a great explanation I've been suffering from sleep apnea and can't seem to get used to my CPAP for two years now I rip it off in the middle of the night I've been suffering with so many symptoms during the day

[@ailtorres]

That’s definitely a rough situation. There is an implant you can get called “inspire” that can be considered if you can’t tolerate the machine.

[@innoc3ntbystndr]

Tnx doc! Now I know where my problems including my depression are coming from, was just too scared and embarrassed ( due to wetting the bed ) to ask a professional and tested but this informative video helped me a lot. I’ll see my doctor and talk to him about my condition

[@MzDaUgly]

Does it also make you wake up with racing heart bc I felt my heart racing and felt like I couldn’t breathe

[@doctor9963]

Same thing with me

[@HENDZGDZ]

Same here.

[@trento8397]

Yes, racing heart is a sign, along with shortness of breath when you wake up

[@christinaregan-qv1ok]

Will epilepsy be considered in this? My son has snoring and epilepsy

[@trento8397]

@@christinaregan-qv1ok only way to know for sure is to get a sleep test

Just before I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, I was finding that I would just spontaneously nod off during the day. Most scary while driving, combat it with caffeine. Now sleep with a C.P.A.P. device all those symptoms are gone. Just to drive the point home, at one point figured I didn't need the device. Stopped using it. Was at work one day, fell asleep while sitting at my station and fell on the floor!! Wow several people witnessed it!! Big eye opener take that C.P.A.P. device seriously.

[@Threels2thahead]

SERIOUSLY?!! I searched these videos today because I’ve been falling asleep spontaneously while driving and working and it just recently started feeling like someone is trying to push my off button and I’m fighting to stay awake! Your comment cemented it for me that I need to go get this taken care of, I really REALLY appreciate your comment! It made the difference for me!

[@ant-1382]

@@Threels2thahead glad to be of help, honestly the cpap machine is a game changer takes a bit to get used to sleeping with a mask on. But it's worth it.

[@carolbertke2956]

Thank you both for your comments. Last year I blacked out while driving and had a full work up at the hospital. No real results. Happened again at work last week. Another hospital stay. Now I'm in the process of being tested for sleep apnea. I've been googling symptoms and none show anything about falling asleep or blacking out so thank you for confirming I'm not alone

[@Shuvo442]

Why my cpap not working with My apnea I checked with dr the pressures and everything.😩😩😩

[@D..S..]

I relate to 100% of this... I actually hope I have sleep apnea so i can get a CPAP machine and solve this once and for all

[@NV-qe3px]

any update

[@D..S..]

@@NV-qe3px I have moderate sleep apnea, got a Resmed Airsense 10 CPAP machine, and I feel AMAZING. I can't believe it works as well as it does.

[@sigma20xx]

I had mild apnea for a long time. Now it seems like I'm experiencing mixed. Even when I sleep on my side, I feel like I choke as soon as I fall asleep. This causes me to wake back up. My throat is extremely sore and I've had a headache for about 4 days now. Sounds like I need surgery. My some years ago, my doctor told me to lose weight. But I'm 6' 165 lbs. I'm also pretty active. I guess old age is catching up to me (46). But I can't live like this. I feel terrible and can barely function. And when can't get proper sleep, you might as well be dying. I'm making an appointment today for a sleep study. I probably destroyed who knows how many brain cells because of this.😅

[@alexpopowski1318]

I have this thing where as I’m falling asleep, I stop breathing and it manifests as thinking I’ve swallowed my lip piercing; I’ve imagined I have an apple stuck in my throat; and sometimes it’s believing i’m choking on my own spit. It seems to be mostly at the exact point I’m about to fall asleep. I went to the doctors surgery today and he told me it’s probably sleep paralysis. I’m not sure about that… I want to go back and push for a referral to a sleep clinic. I do have insomnia in general and I’m trying to correct it but this is a hurdle. It’s worth mentioning, I have terrible sinuses and my nose isn’t my primary way of breathing in at night. What are your thoughts? It happens a lot and I’m done being tired and having the heck scared out of me.

[@Modvintagegypsy]

I’ve been having this exact same issue for years. Thinking I’ve swallowed or choking on some random object

[@remygirl-mn5kk]

I have both. Obstructive because I have a stage four pallet and Central who knows why. My kids noticed it first, way before the doctors did. It was happening during the day while I was awake. They said I wouldn't take a breath for so long, just sitting there watching tv or doing anything at all; the dishes, walking, etc. I told my parents that I was having problems breathing when I was a kid but the doctors would only check my lungs for issues like asthma. My lungs were fine. I don't know what to do because my bipap prescription is so high that I can't exhale and I get scared. The reason I was finally diagnosed was because I was in the hospital for something else and the nurses kept coming in yelling at me to breathe during the night. They were looking at me like they were scared for me or like I might be in trouble physically. I was so confused because I had no idea it was happening. I finally had a sleep test and my doctor said the apnea is "beyond severe". I've been falling asleep at work for years, will have quick, second long dreams when I think I'm awake and then sometimes I blurt out nonsensical words or phrases that as I'm waking up. Also, I won't have a headache while asleep but the second my alarm goes off and I open my eyes, I have a migraine. I now I have heart problems from all this so please get checked, people. One funny story about this situation; I was making horrible and very loud noises while I was sleeping at my daughter's house and my almost two year old granddaughter reached out to me from her pack n play and held out her pacifier. My family was watching this go down on the monitor as I had been babysitting her and they came home to hear my snoring. 🥴 I guess she thought it would help me get some relief and let her get some sleep too. I didn't accept her binky so she started prying my eyes open, which woke me up. She just wanted to help soothe me, I guess. My sweet girl 🩷

[@GaminHasard]

i feel worse in the morning compared to when i went to bed.

[@colinblaine3552]

I have had obstructive sleep apnea since probably teenage or early adult years. I always woke up with headaches and just felt like garbage all the time. I am 42 and I got a sleep test and CPAP a bit under a year ago. MY LORD! My life has changed. The only regret I have is I didn't do it sooner. Weight was not an issue as I was always relatively thin most my life. It's just genetic. Take it from me, get your sleep study and CPAP immediately. My only regret is I didn't do this sooner.

[@Shuvo442]

Hi why my cpap not improving my apnea. I check the machine with dr with perfect air flow

Excellent

[@andrewcrawford9775]

Can sleep apnea also affect your eyes as in feeling strained and heavy constantly and sometimes certain patterns looka s if they are vibrating as been battling the last 12 months waking during the night not getting enough sleep. My partner says my snoring is intorable. Every day know I wake up feeling as of I am hungover lightheaded constantly weak and exhausted and constant neck pain

[@Username4453]

I think it can, i'm going through a similar situation with degrading eyesight and my eyes are always bloodshot and people think i'm angry or upset because it. I'm finally going for a sleep study because I feel like i'm getting worse and worse energy wise and the caffeine is barely keeping me going. You should go to the eye doctor just in case.

[@darcihoudeshell2588]

My daughter was diagnosed with sleep apnea and gerds when she was 5 weeks old. She's now 32 and still has both. I used to joke that I would charge her batteries when I would put her on the breathing machine.

[@meanmachine389]

i’m going threw the same i have osa i recently gained weight and now i have horrible gerd which makes sleep apnea worse and i have this all day headache i was using oral guards would work fine until i gained weight now have to use cpap going to lose weight and try to sleep without the cpap to see how i feel and if i feel good without that means that’s like one of the only cures for many to lose weight this disease or whatever it is is horrible

I wake up every morning always with a terrible headache is this a symptom?

[@mongomongo39]

It can also be the result of carbon monoxide leaking into the AC Vents. Be sure you check that out. It happened to my family with a leak coming from a heating unit.

[@Gamer_boy_0998]

Hlo , my breath stopped while sleeping for only one night . But i m not sure if it sleep apnea or not . Bcz my nose was also blocked bcz of low temperature in my room . And i can still control my breathing when i realise my breathing stopped . And i have zero symptoms of sleep apnea .

I have mixed sleep apnea

[@fatty3383]

Yep I suffer from all that's been mentioned and it's horrendous..

[@adammadrid7487]

Ill be going for my test ina month...this is a nightmare, i miss my sleep! I think i have mixed MSA and its worse because i have asthma , plus insomnia , dry mouth at night....it feels like im going to die every night and now it lead to sominphobia ( extreme fear to fall asleep ) i dont take naps anymore and I stay up at night as long as i can , sometimes i dont even sleep at all. The longest was 2 days but my mind and body couldn't take it anymore and i juss had to fall asleep. Now im terrified if i see a bed or anything that has to do with sleep...when i do sleep and i wake up first thing on my mind is worried about when night arrives ....this is hell for me i don't wish this on anyone... sometimes i juss wish this will end so i can stop suffering :/

Have faith my friend don’t give in stay strong & things gonna work out better for you

[@murmoh-9933]

Mixed sleep apnea starts with OSA and then CSA

[@sportshistorybuff319]

Does anyone have the problem that the CPAP and/or mouth appliances have reduced their sleep stoppages to almost nothing, but they are still waking up with their head filled with sand/snow/cotton? If this simply because it takes a while for the brain to adjust to the machine so you wake up with a clear head? Because the machine has its own side effects? Or because of an undiagnosed brain condition in addition to the sleep apnea?

[@Healinghands829]

Did this get better for you?

[@sportshistorybuff319]

No. There has been no relief. My head is on fire every morning, even though the CPAP numbers are much improved. Are you not supposed to feel relief until you get the stoppages down to zero?

[@Healinghands829]

@@sportshistorybuff319idk I’m seeing mixed responses on this. Have you monitored your O2 while sleeping? Also, have you tried a metro pot to clear your sinuses? Maybe you’re having sinus headaches.

[@sportshistorybuff319]

How do I monitor my O2? Is that info on the CPAP machine or do I need something else? Is a metro pot something most pharmacies would have?

[@sportshistorybuff319]

How does one monitor their oxygen? Is that a basic measure on the CPAP or is it determined somehow else?
