Sleep Apnea

[Kenya40]

Do anybody have sleep apnea? if so, what symptoms do you have? Everyday im jolting out of sleep, gasping in my sleep, feeling like I'm going to lose my breath. This is very scary. Please help!

hi kenya, my o/h used to have it, you actually stop breathing for short periods of time when you are asleep, usually caused by by being overweight, you can get an oxygen mask with a small oxygen bottle to put on at night, which keeps the airwaves open, the best thing to do is sleep on your side it does help. jasper xx

I would wake up and my insides would feel like I got punched in the stomach all sore

I would wake up gasping for air

And then one time I got sleep paralysis (very scary)

I went to the doctor they said I should sleep on my side and loose a few pounds, I did it and I haven't had an episode yet.

Hope this helped

I have sleep apnea. I use a Cpap machine. I recommend asking your doctor to have a sleep study set up. This machine has been a Godsend. It even lowered my blood pressure.

Hi Brian,

I had a sleep study but they ruled against sleep apnea. I don't believe them but ok. Thank you for sharing your story! Blessings to you!
