My dad had sleep apnea for my entire childhood. He was always falling asleep in the middle of the day, and he was always in a bad mood all the time. He got a machine about 10 years ago, and his entire personality changed. He’s so chill now - he hardly ever loses his temper anymore. I’m so glad he has that machine, I only wish it had been invented 30 years ago.

[@bigbay1159]

Wow that is amazing and im glad he got help in the end. I only suffered with issues for a bit until I lost 35 lbs, mine was induced by weight so losing it fixed my personal issue. But I honestly couldn't imagine going that long in life with the condition, in the short amount of time I faced the issues. It was the most humbling thing I had experienced, I was honestly losing my my mind. Peace to you and your family!

[@bigbay1159]

@@samieD22 Hey thanks for the comment, shared stories helps others come to grips with the issue. I hope the best for your mom. Do you know what exactly is the cause for your mothers sleep apnea? The reason I ask is because unfortunately weight loss doesn't always fix the issue. Since it can be caused by a physical force such as an enlarge tongue, inflamed tonsils etc. If possible I would see if your mom can test other masks and see if one is a better match. What she could also try is wearing the mask during the day and finding what air pressure allows her to continually wear the mask and then have her train herself during the day to not try and take it off. Tough at first but with some time it gets manageable. This way once it comes time to sleep she has trained herself to become accustomed to the feel and fit. And help with it not coming off at night. Either way I wish the best for you and your mom!

[@bigbay1159]

@@samieD22 oh and another thing to try, do you know what position your mother sleeps in during bed time? Back, stomach, side? For people who are a little bigger, sleeping on the stomach or back can make it worse and if possible sleeping on your side can help, at least as a starting point. IT's one of the first things I did when I first tried losing weight. It didn't the fix issue of course but it was a starting point and it did help me and maybe your mom as well, you just have to try and stay in that position and not go back to sleeping on the stomach or back

[@nadiamccall4311]

That shit is no Joke, I was never officially diagnosed however. When I reached 270 lbs, I started noticing when I would wake up I would feel like I didn't sleep at all. It made me feel really shitty and would try to sleep again, thinking I just needed more or didn't sleep right. But I still wouldn't feel like I slept. I started doing some research and found that sleep apnea was the ability to not properly get rest from not breathing and having micro-wake ups. Where you don't know you woke up but you did, on top of the not breathing. My buddy also started telling me I would snore really loud, this motivated me to lose weight (down 70 lbs) and thankfully the issue went away. This always makes me think, if I started having that issue at 270 lbs, how are people at 500 lbs able to cope. That shit was driving me crazy from the lack of rest.

I could only imagine the severity at 500 pounds. Many people with weight that high, one of their highest concerning issues. Not being able to get proper rest.

I was having all kinds of subtly increasing issues with my health, over several years. Blood chemistry was sort of off, too many red blood cells, urine with too much protein or something in it, the doctor saying the kidneys not quite working right, dry-eye, dry mouth, etc. Couldn't find a precise cause until the doctor's son, a doctor at his dad's clinic, randomly asked me if I snore. The rest is history. I went for a Sleep Study at my Hospital. I liked that experience: Small "motel room" with all the equipment you get hooked up to, and live monitoring overnight. In the morning you get the full report. I had a "moderate" case of APNEA, losing 15% of my blood oxygen level every night. Since using it, just like your guest indicated, I'm back to sleeping right again. Blood chemistry has stabilized because bone marrow isn't being tricked into making more red blood cells as the body looks for the oxygen it needs, etc. Great message from your guest and you. 100%, if you snore or your spouse snores and you seem to see fatigue during the day, etc., go get a sleep study, get on some kind of CPAP.

If that goes on for too long it messes with your organs, and your body starts to react in other areas, such as bone marrow that starts to put out red blood cells too soon trying to find a way to get the needed amount of oxygen to all your cells (enlarged red blood cells). Also, snoring and such, stopages of breathing, cause you to NOT get the right amount of REM sleep. I was waking up like 4 to 6 times a night. That messes with your organs. As described to me: When you reach REM sleep for the right amount of time your metabolism tells some of your organs to go into a bit of "shutdown". Kidney's don't produce as much urine, etc. If you are constantly waking up eventually you are going see affects on your health. Anyway, in my case a further complicating factor was that I had a large tumor inside my right kidney. They took that out earlier this year. Sorry this was so long, but it's a data-dump of what I remember my doctor going over with me.

[@MRTOMBO]

Since I want on the CPAP machine I'm back to waking up 0 to 2 times at most each night, and I'm peeing in a normal amount. Prior to that, as I said, I was up like 3-4 minimum to maybe 6 times on a bad night. And not solely cause of "old men pee more".

I’m 24 and have had it (known about it) for 2 years now. I was getting up at 5am for work, then going thing afterward, and not sleeping till 12- I was having 40-60 apnea’s an hour, and I’ve been on cpap since I found out about it. At the time I was 23.5 stone, and was going through a severe mental breakdown- bad derealisation, awful sleep, had 4 motorbike accidents in 5 years which I’m certain was due to the lack of concentration due to stress and no sleep. I was honestly at the end and I couldn’t explain how it felt to anyone- but I was just overwhelmingly exhausted and lost the plot. My mum has it too, over 100 apnea’s an hour, and we’re convinced my grandad has it and that’s why causes his heart attack. Since keto 10 months ago I’m down over 5 stone, able to stay awake throughout the day, used my machine religiously since I got it... please for yourself, see a doctor and tell people if you hear them stop breathing.

I was more tired and out of it then the boys who did rowing and they were up training at 430am. Found it hard to learn couldn't concentrate for more then a minute just wanted to sleep all the time. At my under 16 national rugby tournament my team mates who i was best friends with hated me that week because my snoring was that bad I was keeping guys up three cabins down from me at the camp ground 🤣. Finally got diagnosed with severe sleep apnea last year and got funded a machine. Id stop breathing on average 33 times an hour. It is Poohs mentally hopefully it hasn't caused long term effects on me but once we figured out I had it it explains how I felt as a teen. I wasn't the laziest of teens either played rep rugby athletics etc. I just hate to think how much better an athlete I would have been if we found out then. And I tell you what I thought I was a soft cock because my hangovers were fkng terrible but with the machine they're no where near as bad 🤣.

I've been working with CPAP and Non Invasive Ventilation in Ireland and the UK for 7 years now and I would say we have about a 90%-95% success rate with new patients. Very few patients decide to come off their treatment once they have started. A few factors will determine the ultimate success of CPAP therapy... having the correct device, appropriate and tolerable prescribed settings and most importantly, the correct mask interface must be used for each individual. It does however, take some degree of perseverance from the patient to be successfully treated overall, that's for sure.

[@ojeda5577]

@@777-h6d go to your doctor and ask for a sleep test. If out of pocket it will be approx $600-700 the first night test.. and the same for the second.. it's usually a 2 part test but many doctors work with u and try to get it done the first time if out of pocket. We will determine if you have sleep apnea in the first test. If you do, you will come back to the lab and get fitted and fixed with a pap mask (positive airway pressure) and then you should get your equipment in two weeks or so. It's a process but it'll change your life and it's worth it. We spend more time asleep than anything. Annnnnd if me, as a night worker, will loose an average of 5 years of life for working nights. Then come onnnnnnn in and get tested! Us sleep techs slowly die to help you all sleep better lol

I found I was pissing 5 times a night., Thought it was prostate or something like that. My doc said it could be Apnea. It was. The CPAP took care of all of it.

@@gdf573 Jesus, that sounds terrible.

[@80sWavrDude]

@@gdf573 wow, dude, you just made me woke in terms of my suspected sleep apnea. I don't have prostate issues, even though I am 50 years old. I have had high blood pressure, and it has often been highest in the mornings. I have a bp monitor cuff, and I check it periodically through the night, whenever I wake up to pee, which is like 4 or 5 times a night, even though I am dehydrated. It makes me wonder, where is the water coming from? It must be from my stored body water outside the cells. I have noticed my blood pressure is real high, normal and sometimes too low. Based on what you said, it makes perfect sense. My body is adjusting my blood pressure all night in order to offset less oxygen being taken in. You just convinced me to get a sleep test.

I run sleep studies on patients and the study that he was able to take home was obviously a home sleep study test or HSAT. But not everyone with insurance may qualify for it. It depends on the type of insurance you have and also it's a limited sleep study because there's usually no EEG setup to monitor brain activity or even a limited EKG usually with those tests. It's just usually three pieces that Includes aeffort belt that connected to the home sleep study unit with a cannula and pulse ox for your finger. But usually if you're positive for apnea from a home sleep study test you're going to have to come back for an in lab study where you going to have about 28 to 30 leads applied to you your body which includes a sleep 10-20 system with paste apply to your head and to your face. Then either a respiratory therapist or a license and/or and registered sleep Tech(LRPSGT) will run the titration to find the pressure that best splint your Airway and keeps it open so you can breathe more comfortably at night without the obstructions from apnea. And also depending on your apnea we use varied techniques like positional therapy without w/o head of bed elevation as well. There are different kinds of PAP Therapies like CPAP,BPAP,BPAP ST,ASV,IVAPS and others to accomplish our goal of correcting whatever Apnea you may be suffering from. I'm not only speaking as a technologist but I'm also a client of PAP therapy. Thank you Joe for shedding light on this because this is a big deal and with obesity epidemic in this country, CPAP is a vital weapon to help people reclaim some sort of normalcy in their life as far as proper sleep hygiene and quality of life.

@En ki yea keeping your head elevated helps

[@sevinstorey4365]

SpecialK6685 pretty sure you’re not a doctor but yes not breathing for 55 seconds over an extended period of time or maybe even years will definitely cause the circuitry of your brain to malfunction which is what a stroke is. I’m kind of shocked that there is a person out there who would basically call another human being a liar about the death of a family member when I’m sure you know nothing about the situation.

[@EPICSOUNDTRAX]

@@SpecialK6685 "Cardiovascular problems. Sudden drops in blood oxygen levels that occur during obstructive sleep apnea increase blood pressure and strain the cardiovascular system. Many people with obstructive sleep apnea develop high blood pressure (hypertension), which can increase the risk of heart disease. The more severe the obstructive sleep apnea, the greater the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, heart failure and stroke. Obstructive sleep apnea increases the risk of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). These abnormal rhythms can lower blood pressure. If there's underlying heart disease, these repeated multiple episodes of arrhythmias could lead to sudden death. "
