Hi all, does anyone hear have sleep apnea? I find myself gasping for air fall asleep, or waking up the same way! I have contacted my doctor and he’s doing a sleep study. Any advice h till then I panic now I’m way too scared to sleep!

I used to get it a lot when I used to drink alcohol. Haven’t had it once since I stopped. It’s like your body has forgotten how to breathe... not nice!

It is a pain, and frustrating! I’m just always anxious and on edge. I bet if I just have a great night sleep I would be ok

Hi I have sleep apnea, as long as you’re being treated you will be fine, I have a mouth splint as apparently it’s my overbite that causes mine! Have you had a sleep study?

Don’t worry about the sleep study, just some pads and a wrist band, first one I had I slept in hospital and was videoing me sleeping and she said my snoring was so bad 😂 I took a machine home with me that day, I used that for a while but then they decided it was my jaw was in the wrong place and wanted to break my jaw, I passed on that and now wear a mouth splint, I still snore but don’t stop breathing like I did before. The cure is easy the snoring is the danger, please don’t worry your be fine I’m sure Xx
