i need to get tested to rule out any sleep disorders. how did you know you had something wrong? felt tired throughout the day?
I woke up one night with what I thought was a mild heart attack, I heard a pop in my chest I couldn't breathe and I had shoting pain from my chest to my wrists, couldn't form a fist. Worse feeling ever, I just paced around my bedroom. I'm in my 20's not suppose to have heart attacks.
I have that stupid "tough it out attitude".
All the signs were there, I would turn blue when I went to sleep, snoring more like suffocating, my feet would turn blue when I was awake from the lack of oxygen in my body.
I was completely useless. Putting my shoes on was a nightmare, walking around was difficult. I would fall asleep everywhere, even on the toilet.
I wasn't really eating more than usual but I managed to pack on 40-50 lbs in a few months.
They did an EKG on me, every test and then a sleep study.
My case was so bad, the chief of medicine who only has 10 or so very bad patients took my case. He looked at my chart and said it was amazing what the human body can endure. He's using my case as a study at the university. It's like a miracle of science to them or something. My resting heartrate at the time was 144.
I'm suppose to be dead.
