cc,

i have sleep apnea...i havent had one in a long time but they are scary....im well aware of it...i cant open my eyes...i cant move my limbs...and i cant breathe.....the only way to get out of it is for to force myself to scream to wake me out of it or have someone shake me....yes people can die from this and its scary shit....

Yup.....its called OSA for short....obstructive sleep apnea and it can cause cardiomyopathy. It is usually caused simply by a mechanical obstruction of the trachea, and this mechanical obstruction is from a large neck or other large masses that are heavy enough to compress the trachea. Other symptoms are being very tired in the day, narcolepsy, right sided heart failure, and other heart problems.

Best treatment is a CPAP machine like was said. ALso, losing weight helps. It needs to be diagnosed by a sleep study and there are a certain number of episodes you need to have in a certain time period before they call it OSA.

Old people usually dont have OSA cuz they dont live long enough.

wait a minute...MOD you say you have times where you are like awake but asleep and can't move youur limbs and open your eyes?! I get this too. It's like your in a coma or somthing. This is also part of sleep apnea? Ive had that for years man. Once every few months I am awake but can't move in my sleep. Man I think I will get checked. I always wondered what that is.

my little bro gets this as well. is it a symptom of this sleep disorder?

It is not directly related to AS, but heavy people are more prone to developing it, go to your Dr. and a cutting cycle is a REAL good idea anyway. How much do you wiegh? The condition seems weight related because when you sleep your so relaxed that even though your brain sends the signal to your chest muscles to inhale, there is a lag time between the brain and your diaphram to inhale, therefore the delay effect.

SEE YOUR DOCTOR, this can really kill you, it puts a strain on your heart. By the way what is your Bp? No shit Bro see your doc, the wife is right on this one.

If sleep apnea is life threatning wouldn't the treatment
be covered by most health insurance? I understand that
they are using laser to remove excess mass in the nasal
passagee or throat.
