    I was diagnosed with sleep apnea at only 19, I still remember not wanting to use my CPAP. I was embarrassed of it and felt like I shouldn’t have to rely on something for my health. Let me tell you a CPAP is a life saver and will improve almost every aspect of your life. Since beginning treatment my symptoms of depression are almost none, I am alert, focused, and generally more motivated. If you are feeling embarrassed or skeptical the same way I did, please give it a shot.

      So if I go to a sleep specialist will they just tell me to lose weight? That cannot happen over night, and I’m super exhausted all the time and I’m tired of hearing that, and I have been trying to lose weight. I feel as if I need a cpap in order to just make it through these nights until I’m healthy again. I’m 17 and my doctor told me I probably have sleep apnea and told me to go to a sleep specialist. I am not obese, but I’m a little overweight

    I have severe OSA. I’ve tried everything. Health was getting worse and worse. Finally found a few things that work to eliminate it for me completely. I now have 0 apnea’s and I put in a lot of time to figure this out. Hope it helps someone struggling out there. 1. Sleep on a slight incline (pillows, wedge or raise head of bed 6 inches), 2. critical to always sleep on side, 3. I use a boil and bite mandibular advancement device off of Amazon $50 (this is the best thing I’ve found to remedy my OSA) 4. No coffee/tea (my apnea’s have always been much worse if I do). The best thing I’ve found to normalize the horrible feeling from a Sleep Apnea Hangover (i call it) is Wim Hof Method guided breathing(UA-cam or the WHM app) It takes 15 minutes and it completely re-oxygenates the body and brain to reverse the damage from oxygen deprivation through the night. Sometimes I’ll do 45 minutes and it’s fantastic. It brings back a healthy and calm state of being for the rest of the day. I was in such a fog and had a ton of anxiety from OSA for years until I tried it. Gave up on cpap after a year and a half last year and I’ve finally discovered these things that work for me. Hope it helps someone out there! Cheers!

    I got sleep apnea. 112,5 times every hour, i stopped breathing. 8h = 900 times. And i got symptoms 3-4 years before i got that as a diagnose. And i was 22 years old. Very unusual. It would takes months to get me a machine and such stuff. But i only had to wait 2 weeks because it was very dangerous number. For that young age. When i got the machine. I got from 112.5 to 0,0-0.3 every night. A truly life saver. I never got a good sleep in 3-4 years, maybe even more. I never slept deeply. Imagine sleeping for 1-2 h every night. For 3-4 years or even more. Thank you for the CPAP machine. Saved my life and i changed so much.

    I resisted getting a CPAP machine due to pride/ego bs. Because I was only 33 when I needed it and I associated CPAP machines with old men. I’ve been using it EVERY night for 15 months now and it’s DRASTICALLY changed my life for the better.
    I used to jump out of bed in the middle of the night DESPERATELY trying to get air. My heart would race. I’d be pacing around the room breathing as if I’d just run a marathon. I eventually resorted to sleeping while sitting upright on the side of the bed because I just couldn’t breathe laying down. I took naps daily. I was EXHAUSTED. Headaches, sadness, and irritability were the norm. I took a sleep apnea test and was diagnosed with the most severe stage. My blood oxygen level went down to 68% when I was sleeping (that’s really bad) and I stopped breathing on average of once every 30 seconds while sleeping. Point being, if you need CPAP therapy and you have the ability to get it, GET IT!!

      What’s the process for getting that machine? I'm certain I have apnea, and I think it's pretty severe. My mom and sister are at their wit's end because my snoring is incredibly loud. Last time, my mom even mentioned seeing my stomach moving as if something was alive inside. I'm 33, and I've had several episodes where I wake up gasping for air, literally screaming for help while running around at 3 AM! 😆
      I have been like this for more than 2 years, I think, and I feel I gotta go because apnea is dangerous. I heard people had died while sleeping

      This is a great solution. Since sleeping on your stomach can be a difficult position for your spine to be in, you can help your spine by placing pillows under your chest and under your hips. This way, the curve in your lower back is maintained while on your stomach.

    I have obstructive sleep apnea. The sleep study showed that I stopped breathing roughly 186 times an hour, not a night but every single hour. It was one of the worst cases the sleep specialist I was seeing at the time had ever seen. I now use a CPAP machine every night. Still absolutely fatigued every single day though. My sleep specialist has me on 40 mg of Adderall per day to combat the daytime sleepiness.

    Snoring once in a while is okay, but snoring for a long period (and daily) can be a concern. It is always good to talk to a specialist about this, as OSA can increase the risk of heart problems (like stroke and heart attacks) and other health-related issues.

So they decided for my safety to get a sleep study and it came back that I had severe sleep apnea my heart would beat really fast and they said that my heart would skip a beat 69 times per minute I thought it was impossible but they said it was possible but luckily I was able to get my tonsils removed but after that my sleeping did get a lot better but I kinda do still snore kinda hard but they said maybe my weight could also be a factor to that.

    My 37 year old brother recently collapsed and died from a stroke. He was healthy and never smoked or did hard liquor in his life. He would only drink beers in social settings, maybe once or twice a week. They say he had hypertension which caused his blood vessel to burst in his brain. We knew he had sleep apnea during most of his adult life but never knew the name for it or thought it was serious enough to cause death at such young age. He also got COVID in 2020 and was gaining alot of weight the past year or so, almost to the point of being overweight for the first time in his life which could have played a role as well.

    I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea for about 10 years now. I'm young, healthy, and physically active as an athlete. Despite this I still had sleep apnea(likely passed on in the family), so it can affect anyone no matter their current lifestyle. After being diagnosed I got a CPAP machine, and since 10 years later I have almost forgetton the fact I have sleep apnea thanks to the CPAP. Its amazing how much the CPAP can change your life. Even if I didn't have sleep apnea I'd still be wearing it. So if you're feeling groggy all day and snore, go in for a sleep study at your local clinic and get it checked just in case. When you wake up in the morning you likely won't remember the brief times you woke up gasping for air, as it's more of a reflexive and short event, so you can't rely on yourself to know if you're having these events.Also I never even realized I was groggy during the day cause I had lived my whole life feeling like shit. When I slept for the first time with the CPAP it was like being reborn, I finally got to experience what a good night's rest felt like. So please, get tested for it if you have the symptoms, it could change your life.

    There are four treatments as far as I know
    1. a CPAP machine (I'd rather solve it than use a CPAP the rest of my life)
    2. They "carve out" part of your mouth throat, not sure what this procedure is called, to make more space for you to breathe
    3. The Inspire implant- but this doesn't necessarily stop ALL your sleep apnea episodes
    4. A device you wear/put in your mouth to hold the airway open
    5. The DNA (day/nighttime) appliance, kind of like 3, but gradually wedges your throat wider, just like braces gradually straighten your teeth.

What's interesting is that there are treatments that are not that crazy CPAP machine.

    Get a CPAP even if you don't have the insurance to cover it. It'll save your life. It did for me. I was taking 3-4 naps a day when i was a driver driving all over the bay area a few years ago. I had to pull myself off the road multi times so i didnt fall asleep behind the wheel. When I got the CPAP machine and eased back on the alcohol I started getting 8-9 hours of restless sleep. I haven't needed an afternoon nap in almost 3 years now.

    Problem only gets worse with time. Find the most appropriate treatment as soon as possible and I would suggest an at home sleep study every 12 to 18 months after treatment to be sure it is still working for you. I am a dentist and we provide screenings and at home sleep studies all the time. Some patients do well with the oral appliance therapy (OAT) and others may still need some form of positive airway pressure (PAP).

    What's so insidious about this is that the symptoms only manifest while you're asleep! During the day you breathe fine. Your partner is the first person to notice but if you're single like me... I was having a general physical in 2011, when I mentioned to the doctor symptoms of restless leg syndrome. I have no idea how she went from that to "have you been tested for sleep apnea." Perhaps it was a coincidence and she was going to ask anyway. Although I have some tiredness during the day, I think if it wasn't for that suggestion I still may be undiagnosed 11 years later!

    I had sleep paralysis and apnea at the same time. I couldn’t wake right away when I started to lose oxygen and breathing was VERY difficult (I tried breathing through my nose, I couldn’t breathe through my mouth) when I tried to Inhale it was almost like my body only allowed bits of air to enter which was what I depended on after each inhale (I legit thought I was going to die ) I prayed to Jesus asking to wake me up from that in my head because I was legit panicking. I could hear myself breathing abnormally but it wouldn’t have been heard from anyone in the house because I had the fan on so the fear of suffocating in my sleep without anyone knowing really scared me. I ended up waking and I thank Jesus for having mercy on me that day. I also realized that this sleep apnea triggers when I sleep on my back which I don’t normally do.

    My older sister has this, and they had to take out her tonsils when she was younger. She has always been on the big side, ya know, mah girl thick, and when I used to see her sleep I get scared and run to my mama. Cause she would be snoring loud and choke for a sec and sleep and choke again. Now and back then, she would go to sleep out of the blue. She could be driving, cooking, laughing and talking and BAM! She knocked out!
