Do any of you suffer from sleep apnea?

[Mr Anabolic]

[Novena]

Thanks. When were you diagnosed? Did the doc tell you what may be the cause?

Narrow air passages. 

[jephrius]

2 things most men need to live:

1. Statins

2. CPAP

[funk51]

I think I do. Geez, last month I've been waking up in the middle of the night gasping for air, unable to breathe. It's scary as hell. However it's not very frequent, maybe once every 10-14 days.

I'm going to the doc tonight. I think the problem might be the inner part of the nasal cavities, cause' I feel they're somewhat swollen most of the times, and I can't breathe properly.


I'm not overweight, I don't drink, nor I smoke, I exercise regularly, so experiencing this at only 26 is a big letdown for me.

Any suggestions?

started eating right and stopped exercising my neck end of problem.

I do have neck pains as well  . Could that contribute ? Mmm

[el numero uno]

I do!

I have no solution at all, been living with it for years!

Someone told me about Snorestopper helping but who knows

Sorry to hear that broskie.

Sleep with your face buried in your wife/gf's ass crack,  same thing.
I sleep like a baby but my wife refuses to kiss me until I shower and wash my face?

That wouldn't work, unless your wife eats a whole pot of beans and cabbage every night.  Even then, it would actually kill you.  Do you really want to fill your lungs with methane gas?

Sorry this took so long to reply as I've been doing chores.  I did the home sleep test last week depending how you look at it, either failed or passed miserably.  Next up is the CPAP take home to see if it works for me. 

I wish you all the best, my friend.

jumping in the middle of a deep sleep from time to time is no fun....

Apparently I stop breathing for up to a couple of minutes at a time so I know whereof you speak. 

Hopefully things will work out for you, sir.  We may have our differences but we have are  more alike than not.  All the best to you.

[The Scott]

Holy shit I figured you were some permabulker weighing 250 w a 20" neck.  OK, something else is going on here then that you probably won't be able to fix with lifestyle modifications....go see your doctor and see what he says.

I know that you were not speaking with me but if I may?  While it can be weight related mine is not.  I have dropped over 60 pounds of me in the last couple of years, most recently an additional 42 or so.  I have lived with this for years and it has been told me that it will kill me if not abated to some degree.  I have no idea if it will but have done all that is asked of me save get this device. 

I am now at the point that I will try it.  No pity asked, just a desire to contribute to another's desire to know what is going on within them. 
Be well.

Update

I went to the doctor and explained with details what's going on. He told me that according to my symptoms, I have not sleep apnea. He told me that because my nasal cavities were getting swole at times, I started mouth breathing and the uvula was getting dry or something like that  . He also told me he believed I was either allergic to something I've been using for a long time or somehing I recently started to use (like a perfume, shampoo, medicine, etc) but I don't think that's the case.

He prescribed me loratadine and a nasal spray (mometasone furoate). And althought he was sure it's not sleep apnea, I think he wasn't sure what's causing this.

I told him I was jumping out of the bed in the middle of my sleep unable to breathe, but still, not sleep apnea.

I don't know how much of a comfort this will be to you, but you and another member here shall be at the center of my prayers this night.  Of late, I am not exactly on good terms with the Christ but the Lord knows my heart is in a good place for the both of you.  You and your family deserve to have a long and wonderful life together.

In all ways and for always, be well sir.

You've got sleep apnea period! Get one of these it changed my life. It's called a somnodent.

[g.m]

i have a very narrow nasal passage on my right side and i also have anxiety. ive tried all kinds of shit and the best thing that has helped me go to sleep is a sleeping pill from Walmart called Walsom ,it contains Doxylamine Succinate and it works just fine. i used to need 2 of those 25 mg pills to put me out and now i only need one. i was on Adivan for a couple yrs and that worked also but i wanted to get off any prescription bullshit and Walsom works just as fine. i still do have my moments though,from time to time ill wake up at 2 in the morning and im up all night. sucks but im used to it by now. so in my case its a combination of the deviated septum plus the anxiety that fucked up my sleeping pattern. i was fucken pathetic and hopeless for a couple yrs before i was prescribed the Adivan and that followed up with the Walsom..waking up in the middle of the night choking is the most terrible expierence ever ..fucken hate it. try sleeping on a couple of pillows too

After explaining every single detail I told him I did some research and I thought it was sleep apnea. He laughed and said, no it's not. I still can benefit from a somnodent I guess, so thanks.

[Marty Champions]

Just take me die sin

[gracie bjj]

i have sleep apnea bad, i jump up sometimes gasping for air and it scares the shit out of me,worst feeling in the world. ive been getting them less since i went from 302lbs to 245lbs,also the steroids have alot to do with that also

[oldtimer1]

Number one reason for it is being over weight. There are exceptions to this but that's the majority. You want to be 5'9" 240lb? You're going to be an unhealthy snorer. I get it when I have to much too drink.  I wake up like I'm having a heart attack gasping for breath like I'm drowning.

[Rambone]

Go to your doctor and if you have good enough insurance to take care of it, ask to do a sleep clinic. I did one this summer because I snore on my back and can't breath well through my nose from a deviated septum. They set you up in a hotel style room with a decent bed and tv and shit and give you a lunesta. Probably still had the worst sleep of my life because all of the shit they hook up to you. I felt like DA during his final days.

x2.  And in this case, being overweight does not mean being fat; 5'9 ad 240lbs of muscle is also considered overweight.
