- Sleep apnea literally is a bad journey with many troubles, but fortunately MIR Spirodoc® helps to identify this disease.
During the apnea the patient stops breathing and consequently stops snoring. Blood oxygen saturation falls remarkably, resulting in a sudden increase of the pulse rate. Later there is an abrupt awakening with a terrible choking feeling, heart palpitations and a great sense of distress.

My positive diagnosis and my CPAP machine changed my life. I can sleep again. I don't fall asleep at the wheel or at my desk at work anymore, and I don't have those horrible startling awakenings in the middle of the night that feel like I'm going into cardiac arrest.
Great demonstration. If here were laying flat it would be much worse. So glad Apnea is now something we talk about and resolve.
why do people even dislike this i have a lot of respect to people suffering from this disease.....
I'm 15 and it feels like hell
Abdulbari Moustafa because of the bad acting
Maybe because it ain’t a disease, but a condition.
I had it when I was in kindergarten and I was completely unaware until my dad figured out what was going on
@@capodonnayo6010start doing Pranayama.
Excellent video to truly show people what sleeping/breathing disorder is like.
Yup, that how it feels. It's terrifying.
yes it is
I get these dreams like I'm falling from the sky all the time, ever since I was about 10 or 11 and these dreams never stop. The symptoms shown in the video seem to directly apply to my problem, because I find myself to stop breathing when I have these dreams. It's gone to the point where I wake myself up gasping for air. I'm glad I finally found out what this was.
Your body is also being repeatedly put into flight or flght mode and being flooded with stress hormones.
I didn't know your oxygen could get that low wow
I hate living with sleep apnea I have a cpap machine but still doesn’t always help, now I’m constantly obsessing checking my spo2 and having anxiety attacks over it 😔
me too
Same here
I have have central sleep apnea and it ruined my life. Only 34yrs old. Stay strong homies
Same here
ME TOO AND I SLEEP WITH A OXYGEN ALARM MONITOR BUT STILL HAVE PROBLEMS
I'm 18, this happened since I was 15 I would wake up in the middle of the night trying to breathe every like 6 months. Definately was scary but I just stay calm and focus on breathing, it's scary, of course it is you think you are going to die, but just have to stay calm and seek help if you can.
+Perish Films Thanks for sharing!
+Perish Filmsthats probably not apnea it was probably sleep paralysis, i have it all the time, its when u wake up and ur paralised u cant move or breathe properly, feels like ur being possessed scary as fuck
+TheO Gamer - CoC im 15 right now .. and happened to me yesterday
TheO Gamer - CoC Thanks for sharing!
+Perish Films hi guys, the greatest results that i've ever had was by using the Stans Slumber Method (i found it on google) definately the most incredible treatment that I've tried.
This is scary, was diagnosed in Aug. and started cpap therapy. It`s nothing to mess around with.
Oh god this is horrifying. About halfway in i was like.
"WAKE THAT MAN TF UP NOW."
me to i was like : wake up man don;t die .. some one wake him
Omg...watching this was so...sad.😢 I am so sorry people have to go through this...
It’s very rare to die from this but it’s still something to take serious especially those who are overweight they are at higher risk of developing sleep apnea and have a higher risk of dying from it
Scary stuff, I've experienced it once in my life where I binged cigarettes got sick and had to consciously take breaths and or would wake up gasping
This is what happened to me everyday now I'm with CPAP getting better but I feel like I'm on a hospital everyday I miss so much to sleep without the mask just like regular sleep😞😢
This is happening to me but they say it’s all anxiety
Please be Vegan🥬🥗🌽🥕🥦🥥🥑🍓🍇🍌🍎🍐🍑🥭🍅🥒🍉❤️🌞🌈👼❤️🏖
what i find strange in this video is that during the 'stop' you can still see his belly go up and down so it looks to me he is still breathing,so is it to show us what happens or what🤔
why no similar effect while consciously holding your own breath to 1 minute
I have a similar thing. I'll hold my breath and slowly let it out and I'm told it sounds like letting the air out of an untied balloon. Like if you pinch the tip of it and let the air out slowly (I don't know if that makes sense the way I wrote it). My dad does the same and so does my uncle (his brother). I've looked into CPAP machines but those don't sound right for me. I have very stiff ears and even wearing headphones for over an hour causes great discomfort so I imagine a band around my ears all night would be downright painful over the course of a night. Plus I often sleep on my stomach which I'm told you can't really do with the mask on. Any tips for someone in similar situation would be appreciated
damn i hate having this. truly frightening when you just want sleep. 😡
Same, at first I thought every few months I would maybe just have a weird dream where I was suffocating or not able to breathe, but now I am thinking it is sleep apnea. Because I am thinking about it I am more aware of it now. It's happened at least twice badly in the past week.
When I wake up I literally panic and sit bolt upright grabbing my chest, like someone has been suffocating me in my sleep, or I have been holding my breathe under water for too long. I feel like I have been starved of oxygen for a while and panic. I'm a pretty calm person, but the body just sends those 'oh shit' signals to my brain whilst I am asleep and there is nothing I can do but wake up in a panic, then breathe and try to go back to sleep.
I'm kind of hoping it will just go away still...
+Steve ya man. that's sleep apnea alright. sorry. it sucks and doesn't really get better unless you can afford one of those machines but youll get more used yo it and i dont yhink it will be as severe. still sucks though because ruins your sleep. stay positive 👍👊
Being a single woman and having this sleep apnea is very depressing, especially knowing that some men aren't very understanding of others health problems until it happens to them. So now, I don't even date.
+Steve First do as I did and have a sleep study done....they will be able to know for sure, if you have sleep Apnea or not. I would wake up with chest pains and so tired I felt like I woke up on the wrong side of the bed every day....very crabby from no sleep for months on end.
Cool Cat im sorry. 😕 stay tuff!
I just realized that I have this BIG time. I have a canary camera and just now reviewed myself sleeping last night. The snoring and gasping are crazy loud. I also noticed that I move legs move around almost constantly. I guess this explains why I'm so incredibly tired after waking up and throughout the day. Sometimes I fall asleep during the day whiteout even knowing until I wake up. Prior to today, I thought I was narcoleptic, now I know it's sleep apnea. I'm without insurance right now, I hope that if left untreated I'll be ok. Can't be that dangerous..right?
carlorocky It is dangerous, and what the lack of oxygen does to your body is staggering.
I've been experiencing this last 8 months up to now, i am so afraid to sleep at night for the reason that mybe i will not wake up, it started wen i drink too much alcohol and at the same time stress. Pls give me advice on how to cure it and sleep well again, by the way i saw a hand exercse if u experiencng this u can try it that for panic attacks, sori for bad english
Man I know that feeling!! Wake up thinking im choking and dying ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
pls what the name of this machine i want to order it
I snore but I never wake up and gasp for air...
Was this done with a simulator? The SpO2 readings are so realistic.
No, this was done with MIR Spirodoc www.spirometry.com/ENG/Products/spirodoc.asp
I’m terrified my boyfriend may have this , he woke up choking out of nowhere twice. He thinks nothing of it. I just want him to be okay
Except that most people with apneas don't wake fully and grab their throat like that. It's more of a subconscious thing. I never even thought I had sleep apnea but my sleep study showed my O2 in the 60s and severe sleep apnea.
My mother have same issue is this is risky or life threatening
@@prernakiduniya6724 yes, it's very bad for your heart.
Will it alarms 🚨 f the readings go down?? Or any other meter like that which can give us alarm? Pls pls let me know
What is that machine called? The one that's recording his oxygen levels? How is it doing that?
pulse oximeter
I’m 30 and I’m just having this at night! My oxígeno level drop and wake up with palpitations.. I have anxiety too and this apnea is not helping! I’m supposed to have a sleep test soon but I’m worried that I’m getting depressed about this. In the nights I want to cry!
wow,same symptoms, this seems like a problem
I've experienced this for 3 times now! :( and yes it was terrifying! the most recent one shocked me the most because all I know is that I was having a good sleep then all of a sudden I just jumped out of my bed, gasping for air and violently coughing out loud. Good thing I didn't wake the neighbors. And I've read somewhere that overweight is associated with this (I'm a bit chubby) maybe I should start dieting :c ?
Severe GERD ?
I'm really freaked out right now because I have this feeling that I'm trying so hard to suck in air but I'm like still asleep and I don't know how to wake up soon enough I get a slight gasp of air but still struggling to breathe I'm an 13 and I would really appreciate it if you could maybe tell me if this is what I have because i dont fully wake up like he did in the video and it doesn't happen often but when it does it scares me alot
Well explained
it only happened to my mom once when i was going to Florida for a two week vacation
This happens to me and I use a APAP and have virtually no apneas as a result but my blood oxygen levels sometimes fall to 82% and I can't understand why.
Could be central sleep apnea, where you could be taking shallow breaths.
UARS
@@DTM45 what is uars?
What is the music in this video?
true second by second n now I'm using Philips CPAP
This doesnt happen to me a lot bu when it does i can feel it comin on starting with my dream i can visualize it in my head then it stops then i stop breathing i cant wake up all the way but its like im just laying there paralyzed i try to catch my breath but my body wont let me then thats when i wake up with my heart beating rapidly. It so weird, it happens like once every couple months
+D'Shon Akins me too. i will usually dream of drowning or a pillow over my head, etc.
Cheers for the Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Letochy Fast Apnea Plan (google it)? It is an awesome one off product for getting rid of Sleep Apnea minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my best friend Jordan at last got amazing results with it.
It could be happening many times each night, you just don't wake fully and fall back asleep.
Same this happens to me like every 6 months I hope it goes away I hate waking up in a choking feeling like I’m about to die
If you want to learn how to stop your snoring or sleep apnea problem then go here now: HootSleep.xyz
this is the worse, there are times when i actually start thinking i'm going to die, then i try to relax and focus on waking up and i always do (obviously), but i'm worried that one time i wont.
I don't wake up like this, I do feel my heart pounding a little and maybe my blood pressure is up. sometimes I often have bad dreams so is the dreams causing it or do I have apnea?I recently had a physical and my blood pressure is under control although I still feel some heart palpitations after eating.
ted teddy as I began to fall into sleep I get brought back rather quickly with a sudden gasp for air, and it's at this moment I feel my heart lurch. This didn't start until after I hurt my back
Rip Yams
I noticed that I do stopped breathing too sometimes on my sleep. And I will make a noise like I'm a motorcycle trying to climb up the hill. Thought it was funny. But then I saw this video, it's now alarming.
Does anyone feel like they can’t move and there heart is going to explode so
You try to breathe but your heart goes even faster 😭
Yaa
How to deal with it
I jist had my worst one, i stood all the way up on my bed chocking then i jumped to the floor and i started breething on my knees,, horrible,, had to search what it was, i ways thought i was choking on my saliva,,, im not trying to pass away choking in my sleep, so scaryy.
If you sleep on your stomach would this solve the obstructive sleep apnea?
Probably but it would be better to sleep with your upper body up with some pillows. Most cases of sleep apnea occur when laying flat on your back. I'm no doctor but maybe that'll help.
also, I recommend Dr. Dakota snoring stop, cpap accessory. If you're just starting to have sleep issues or first time user with a CPAP, it helps a lot. No more drying out, when you use this product. It helps to direct the forced air coming from your CPap. I actually stop using my C Pap , but go back and forth. But never sleep with out my Dr. Dakota now, ever.
Would you take your god damn advertisement some place else! As bad as a car salesmen these assholes who come here just to advertise their crap products that don't fix a thing other than suck money from people.
I've woken up with the sensation of everything from a golf ball in my throat to a tennis ball lodged there. Nothing scarier than waking up with your heart pounding and you have no idea if the next time you fall asleep you may not wake again. CPAP is a pain but it is light years ahead of the alternative. (DEATH)
1:00 Go to heaven !?
2:03 Come back to his home.
And while he is supposedly not breathing his belly is expanding and contracting showing signs of breathing
Because the patient's stomach/diaphragm actually does continue to move, as the body continues to attempt to breathe.
Believe me, the diaphragm does move a LOT even though no air is getting in. Try doing it yourself while awake - the muscles still strain to get air even though nothing is getting in the lungs. I have to witness this every night from my bf!
He's not in respiratory arrest. His airway is obstructed. As everyone else has said, you're seeing his diaphragm move. You're not seeing his chest rise and fall (the best method for observing ventilation).
His diaphragm doesn’t goes into a sort of spasm trying to get air in and out. It is expanding and contracting slowly.
It's a demonstration, you fucking moron.
I feel sorry for him! I know the feeling of waking up like you are about to die! I have ran outside wanting help when this happens
Tim Rowe same
What is that machine that they are using called?
Pulse oximeter
Nice video
What is Saladulux Method and how does it work? I hear a lot of people completely eliminated their snoring problem with this technique with this popular sleep apnea methods.
Yes when this happens not all the time but when u lack in oxigen when u wake up its hard to walk at times as if your going fall cause your blood flow to the brain just makes u weak! When this happens i drink water! And it helps a lot.
My 64 year old mother has severe sleep apnea.. Can she go for gallbladder removal surgery under GA?
Will it be safe?
ask your doctor
@@af1966 okay
My friend self-diagnosed his sleep apnoea using a 'FitBit' watch which monitors breathing and blood oxygen via its built-in pulse oximeter. He is overweight and has a hyperglotiic tongue (large tongue) and still has his tonsils. He produced a lot of secretions in the night which contributed to his airway obstruction. He tried medication to dry out his secretions and his sleep apnoea went!!
He used a double dose of cold medication at bedtime (phenylephrine 2 x 12.2mg) and it has changed his life until he continues to lose weight
Take your f*ckn advertising some place else you miserable f*ck! None of your Sh*t works and you know it@!
I knew I had a problem after finding out I was getting carbon monoxide poisoning from my boiler. I probably already had sleep apnea but the CO poisoning amplified it. That was almost 5 years ago. I’d wake up gasping for air and instant headache. My toes and other um,,,things were purple. The only way I could get through the stopping breathing long enough to really sleep was whiskey and on multiple occasions a cocktail of whiskey, melatonin, zquil, cbd, Valium, delta 8 gummies etc. then last year I worked in LA for 4 months and found a THC/CBN gummy and quit drinking to sleep almost immediately. Anywhoo, my Fitbit has shown several spikes in blood oxygen levels every night for a long time. Finally got the Dr to set me up for a sleep study a month ago and according to the Fitbit it wasn’t nearly as bad as some nights and they diagnosed me with severe sleep apnea. I’m working on Washington now and need to get set up with a machine but now I’m procrastinating.
Heart rate falls during sleep apnea causing bradycardia and when airway opens after OSA and O2 level improves there is sudden tachycardia. I am a sleep Tech and observes this in all patients.
+Wooof If its mild sleep apnea, then there are other options available besides CPAP e.g. dental appliances, positional sleep therapy with whole body pillow on side and surgical procedures. You have to talk to your physician who can assess you for alternative therapies.
+Wooof In mild apnea weight loss and surgeries can cure but again physician need to assess you for that.
SID I get the sudden urge to take a deep breath the moment I began to drift into sleep, Feel out of breath and I swear I can feel my heart lurch. Is this apnea?
Sleep Apnoea isn't like this, well certainly not the type I have. You *don't* suddenly wake up to full conciousness, your body just nudges your brain to tell you to take a deep breath, which means you never acheive a proper REM sleep because you just keep looping 1 minute at a time. I never knew I had it, only my GF knew saw that I was not breathing for a minute at a time. Have a CPAP now, so I'm much better, but still generally means a shorter life span.
Did starting using the CPAP make you wake up feeling a lot more refreshed?
Yes you can suddenly wake up just as the video shows,I get it frequently I wake up suddenly and take a huge gasp for air It may depend on the type of Apnoea you have though,mine can be from sleeping at night to just nodding off lightly in the chair,to being fully awake but relaxed then this sudden gasping like my breathing has stopped,there's no escape for me right now,I thinking medication being a cause.
des barker I get this when I'm about to fall asleep, I get this sudden urge to take a deep breath, it's horrible as it won't let me get to sleep most of the time, weird thing is it didn't start until after I hurt my back. Dont know what to do but beginning to hate it alot
I’m not sure if I have sleep apnea. I would be sleep and something in my dream would make me not breath. I would wake up with racing a racing heartbeat but I’m not sure if I should go get checked out
It could be your heart was racing from your dream or it could be your racing heart triggered your dream. You should talk to your doctor
Is there serious or normal ?
I dream about not breathing, I'm swimming and drowning , or other really strange scenarios like my mouth and nose disappeared fr my face. Its just terrifying and when i do wake up, I'm frantically awoken and gasping for air. Its so scary that i am exhausted, I'll avoid falling asleep, I'm Iggy
What exactly is Saladulux Method? How does this thing really work? I notice lots of people keep on speaking about this popular snoring secrets.
this is dramtization right? because his stomach was moving up and down normally when it said he stopped breathing.
The diaphragm keeps TRYING to bring air into your lungs. You don't just stop breathing with obstructive sleep apnea. Your airway gets blocked just like if someone was strangling you. In fact, it heaves much worse than this video. This was a demonstration. I have obstructive sleep apnea and before having it treated... it is fucking horrible. And yes... I have woken up grabbing my neck like he did because you don't know what's happening upon waking up. It literally feels like you're being suffocated... because YOU ARE. With central sleep apnea, you actually stop breathing. no diaphragm movement happens. That's scary shit.
is this real?
shouldn't e use a cpap to prevent tis it could be dangrous
The video is nothing, about 15 minutes ago I fall asleep while watching UA-cam and then woke up unable to even one breath until I was able to and the sound was like a loud trumpet I just verily stop coughing. Anyway, I still feel like something's still stuck right in the entrance of the lung.
How does one get a home test of this sort?
Tell your doctor what your sleep issues are.
Al menos sé que no soy el único, eso me calma un poco
Same situation to me
you need to get some oxygen if your Sp02 is that low bro
Is it normal?? While snoring oxgyen is gonna down in covid ???
Mine as well
What is the cause of this ?
what is the sensor measure the oxygen level can any one Tell Me Please ...
Oxymeter
there are differnt type of sleep anea. my sleep anea causes trouble falling asleep, trouble waking up, bedwetting, sleep paralized (from time to time), etc. i was told that i had sleep anea when i was 10 (but sign were show at age 9) and am 12 now. i take a 2-3 pills a night for it (3 if i am sleeping for a longer amount of time). no one has ever told me of i sleep walk, sleep talk but i have been told that i move alot in my sleep (i dont know if thay would have anything to do with it). my doctors tell me its from stress. but i am not stress at the moment (i was stressed a month before i started having signs). i was wonder if they was a specific name for my sleep anea and if it could just be something i was born with
+nameless girl Thanks for sharing. We cannot give medical advice, but you can contact your GP and deepen your problems, mentioning our products.
+nameless girl hi guys, the best results that I have ever had was by following the Stans Slumber Method (just google it) definately the most incredible resource that I have ever tried.
Hey man, did you ever get this solved?
im so creeped
Can you trust an apple watch to measure you SP02 during sleeping?
Ugh went to the doctor today and have to have a sleep stop at the end of this month gotta stay overnight at the hospital.
Exactly same problem 😣😣😣 each day 😥😥😥😥
The actor could have at least held his stomach lol the screen says not breathing yet he is obviously breathing. I'm not sure why that bothers me so much haha Also, I don't know of anyone grabbing their throat after waking from apnea.
David Dye actually the better thing was not showing his stomach, the actor can't just not breath u know
Because the patient's stomach/diaphragm actually does continue to move, as the body continues to attempt to breathe. My boyfriend's mouth and lips work like a fish gasping for a few breaths before his lungs are able to work hard enough to gasp a breath in past the obstruction in his throat. It's really quite disturbing to watch.
Billy Morgan :*
YES! what i witness is that the diaphragm moves down (quite forcefully) but. since the airway is blocked the chest just caves in. this happens several times. and yeah the throat- grabbing is completely uncharacteristic
it bothers me too because there are people out there suffering who dont know whats going on and doctors who fail to diagnose. they arent being served by an inaccurate video
I have sleep apena I have use cpap
I never wake that calm, I shoot up and try to breathe, feels like I'm sucking air in through a coffee straw. Feels like I'm dying :(
Its horrible. Somedays i see stars and heartrate is 140. I feel like choking. And sometimes i scream help im dying. :(
Holy shit. I have this. could you be fatigue during the day all the time?
I am a registered nurse and see this in patients often. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when you cannot keep your airway open when you sleep, resulting in a halt in breathing and a sudden awakening when your oxygen level get low enough that your body "wakes you up" to breath (oxygen levels can fall to 60% at times, like in this video, and normal/healthy oxygen levels are between 95%-100%, so dropping over 30% is very scary). It can result in a variety of adverse health outcomes including heart disease, specifically high blood pressure which can lead to stroke, heart attack, and/or heart failure. It can also lead to excessive daytime sleepiness because each time you awaken, you exit the deep sleep stage and you essentially don't get enough sleep for an extended period of time. If you have true sleep apnea, you should be wearing a machine called a BIPAP or CPAP at night which helps to push air into the lungs with each breath and keeps the airway open. It is only worn at night. I have had patients who tell me that they feel like a totally new person after starting BIPAP or CPAP and don't feel nearly as tired. Losing weight and refraining from alcohol use before bed can also help. Talk to your primary care provider and they can refer you to a sleep specialist who can test you for sleep apnea. Best of luck!! :)
I heard some people don't get that sudden awakening and don't wake up and suddenly die why does that happen?
Katherine, both of my grandmothers were RNs. The world needs dedicated hard working RNs. I hope all your patients appreciate your work.
I wonder how sleep apnea affects dreams/nightmares. I tend to dream of my own death a lot, often by drowning or suffocation. I've got a special bite plate for my sleep apnea, I've only stopped breathing for seven seconds (i was told it was light sleep apnea, due to my tongue falling back and clogging my wind pipe), my mother has sleep apnea. during a full sleep test. 20 electric wires attached to my face, head and body. i never hit deep sleep or level 3, or was it called N3 sleep? I'm also diabetic with polyuria and most likely nocturnal polyuria, I usually wake up 3-4 times a night. My sleep test was back in spring of 2015. What type of doctor should i get a referal to to treat that. I only woke up once the night of my sleep test. Thanks.
Anyway with all those wires for the sleep test, no one is going to sleep like they normally do.
My 88-year old mother, who lived alone, recently died from a massive hemorrhagic stroke. I found her unresponsive in her bed after she did not answer the phone when I called. I called 911 and she was transported to the hospital. They conducted a CT scan and they showed my wife and I, who are both in health care, the films. (When I taught premed-track college-level anatomy and physiology, I made sure that my students understood that our brains start to show signs of trouble after being deprived of oxygen for only 60 seconds.) I stayed the night with my mother in the hospital while she received comfort care. She was attached to a monitor for oxygen saturation. This video is poignant for me. I observed the slow decline in her PO2 (oxygen saturation) with cardiac compensation via increased heart rate - over several hours until she passed. :-(
david mckesey yes! I used to doze off as soon as i sat down anywhere. Even when i was driving, which frightened me enough to get some help. I feel like a billion dollars now
This is happening to me but when I wake I’m coughing with it horrible
Hopefully you're not coughing anything up... that could be a bad sign.
How are you doing these days??
Same symptoms shown in the video applying directly to my brother and still facing same issue now a days. Any one can help me and guide me how he can improve O2 saturation. Thanks
As he got up, its level increases upto 90
sleep study to see how severe his sleep apnea is and then most likely a CPAP or APAP or BIPAP.
As a sleep technologist it's very sad seeing how terrible patients sleep. CPAP is a life changing treatment. However, most patients are very resistant to treatment. It's like trying to convince a lifelong smoker to quit smoking.
JiffyRiff any suggestions for waking due to severe dry mouth from a cpap? I have no other issues with it. And yes it has a warm humidifier on it. It didn't always seem this bad but as the house has gotten more dry from winter my CPAP has made my mouth feel like cotton.
Bethany Petersen If you are using a nasal CPAP mask it is likely that you are opening your mouth and the leaking air causes the dry mouth. If you are using a full face mask you may have air leaking from the side of the mask. Otherwise crank up that humidifier all the way. As long as you don't start getting condensation build up in the hose or mask.
Thanks. I'll try tightening/adjusting the straps a bit tonight. It's a full mask because I definitely mouth breathe. I'm fairly new at this CPAP stuff in the last few months.
Please don't compare someone like myself with a f*ckn smoker who should know better. Like I'm addicted to sleeping like crap. Your asking me to give up the way I've slept since I arrived in this world (and the way the rest of the population sleeps every night) and now saying I have to have a god damn mask on my face whenever I sleep for the rest of my life? I've tried the mask and the nasal pillow or whatever they want to call it. I've tried tape to keep my mouth shut, I have the humidifier on, I'm still waking up with dry mouth, or claustrophobia attacks if I try the full face mask. Still get dry mouth with the full face mask, it's all pure crap sleep. If it were so easy, than why can only 50% of people keep using CPAP and the rest can't tolerate it? Maybe the treatment sucks. It's not addressing the root cause.
If I wear the mask, or the pillow or if I constantly wake up with lips motor-boating because the air is escaping out of my mouth. With or without tape, it wakes me up with the constant rush of air out my mouth. CPAP is NOT A SOLUTION to this problem. It's an inadequate band aide. I can only see surgery fixing it in the long run. But that will never be taken care of by our insurance industry in this land of ours..
I'm almost positive it's almost always an anatomy issue, i.e. choke points in the back of the throat that collapse. I've gained a ton of weight over the years, and I remember having crap sleep in collage too before I gained more weight. Only 20% of people who lose all the weight, and I mean ALL the weight might, just might on a small basis cure their sleep apnea. But probably not. Going from an AHI of 80 to 60 does nothing to solve sleep apnea. Your still severe, but insurance still won't do anything, even if you lose the weight and prove it's not your weight.
Sleep Apnea is a NO win situation for the patient, they are just blamed for having it because they are fat. Ever think maybe they are fat because the apnea events are causing constant stress on the body and causing to gain weight? Or that person has absolutely no energy to do exercises, considering they are falling asleep at work all the time or whenever they do something mundane like read. I'm probably going to get a heart attack from this shit. I'll never know what good sleep is, haven't since my 20's, now 50. I guess when I die I'll know what sleep really is.
I'm a 20 year old guy and this has just happened to me and has been happening for the last two weeks , I felt like I accepted death or something it was so scary what is ??
Waywen Dukin this Recently have started happening to me it is very scary I wake up gasping for air and coughing
It's happening to me every night what should I do
get a sleep study, then most likely you will be prescribed a CPAP or APAP or BIPAP
Human evolution from the water to land has meant that some of us have ended up with sleep apnea
