@@feemerrkollit actually is true. My cousin was 100 pounds overweight, started eating healthy and exercising he lost around 100 pounds and lost his double chin as well. Double chins put more pressure on the throat and muscles as they relax when you sleep causing sleep apnea.
I was so exhausted even after sleeping 8 hours, I’d have to nap throughout the day, and my cognitive function was declining.. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and got on the cpap machine... the machine totally changed my life absolutely feel so much better now
I would say the first week or so was weird getting use to it; couldn’t wear it more than a few hours..... then after about 7-10 days I became use to it and wore it most of the night and started to feel great.
I'm actually surprised there are so many people experiencing this issue. I thought I was having some exotic experience. Not that I want everyone to be sick, but it's so comforting to know I'm not alone in this struggle. And yeah sleep apnea is a real handicap.
@@beerusthedestroyer9325 the Jab gave this condition to a lot of people include myself I was force to take this thing I appeal to not take it and my doctor denied me I was going to be jobless and homeless unfortunately and I can’t believe I’m still alive with auto immune diseases and joint problems now now I have this type of symptom where I can’t sleep or have a goodnight sleep sleep apnea so yeah this jab did it
Nice and very informative video. Sleep apnea can be serious as it may impact our overall health and can increase the risk of heart disease due to reduced oxygen supply. Snoring can be the main symptom of any sleep apnea. Snoring once in a while is alright, but if you are snoring for a quite long period and if your snoring is affecting your day-time activities and your quality of life, then it is always good to talk to a specialist.
I have been diagnosed with severe CSA but never knew it to be what I hope is the main cause of my daily struggles over the last several years. At random times of the day, I lose all ability to read or understand spoken language. I personally never linked that problem to a sleep issue but I hope the treatment will reverse it. I am supposed to start treatment here soon so I hope this is going to fix this issue within the next few weeks after I get my ASV.
@K question , did you ever have like a strange feeling in your head like it’s not a headache but it’s just a aggravating feeling and hard to focus on work I work from home on computer and sometimes get overwhelmed because of the feeling in my head
@@tylerprince2233 yeah it’s really scary..I’ve been feeling like this for about a year sometimes I can’t even remember what I did yesterday..are you getting treatment
I'm 53 over the last five years I've kept the whole household awake my wife my three children awake with my snoring my wife recorded me on her phone I thought it's not fair on them I couldn't sleep next to that I went to the doctor I was diagnosed with sleep apnea I wear a mask a CPAP machine my snoring stopped instantly I don't wake up with headaches it's uncomfortable till u get used to it but I've put up with it and I have to say every one gets a good night's sleep and I feel much better in myself.👍
@hondac7028 It’s great to hear that using a CPAP machine has made such a positive difference for both you and your family! Sleep apnea can really affect not only your health but also the quality of life for those around you, so it’s fantastic that you took steps to address it. While getting used to the CPAP mask can be challenging at first, it’s awesome that you stuck with it and are now feeling better and more refreshed. It sounds like you’ve made a big improvement in your overall well-being, and your family must be so relieved to get peaceful nights too. Keep it up! 👍
First night I used CPAP machine - no morning headache & less daytime sleepiness . Dry mouth sometimes with mask leaks but I feel much better. Therapy works .
I tracked my apnea and found that black and red pepper are triggers. If I avoid those and stay hydrated, I can sleep. The cpap machine was impossible for me. My apnea was horrible. Good luck.
I feel very bad, when some one says he couldn't sleep due to my snoring. some times i feel difficulty in breathing while sleeping. But the most annyoing thing is my snoring disturbes others.
i was having it i was about to sleep and suddenly couldn't breathe felt like i can't get air in so i panicked and immediately opened yt and it's such a relief that I'm not alone thank you all ....and please can u also recommend me some ways to get out of it
@@romzboy ummm I'm unaware of what's pap therapy but thanks for ur concern i appreciate you I'll surely search that and will get it if i could afford 😊
I have suffered from it since childhood. After a sleep test, doctors say your breath stops 11 times an hour, a previous test showed this happens 16 times an hour. Anyway, I am not diagnosed having sleep apnea, but it is ruining my life. It happens every night, making me feel down and having headache in the morning. Sometimes when I'm tired I cannot wake up, and I almost experience death. It's terrible and terrifying. Donno what to do.
I have been medically diagnosed as having sleep apnea. It is also causing me to have atrial fibrilation and high blood pressure as well. I have just got this result this week and the Cardiologist is referring me to a Respiratory specialist at the Austin Hospital but there is a waiting list to get in of 2 years. I am frightened l might die before an appointment becomes available. What am l to do. I feel so ill with all of this.
My suffocating feeling from my sleep apnea causes anxiety. I have dreams of drowning and wake up panicked. The cortisol and adrenaline this produces in my system remains, and I cannot calm down. I have to drink juice and walk, jog or bike. I found that certain foods trigger my apnea. If I stay hydrated and avoid BLACK PEPPER and rep pepper flakes I can sleep well. The cpap machine did not work at all. I'm figuring it out on my own. I'm having success. Good luck. I do not want anyone to suffer what I've gone through.
I'm dealing with sleep paralysis for years but just recently whenever I experience one, I can't breathe. Since my mind is awake, I tried to move any parts of my body and not panic. I like sleeping but because of these incidents, my anxiety got worsen.
The cause are unclean spirits who torment you at night. The only solution is asking Jesus for protecting you. I recommend you to watch videos of Isaiah Saldivar on TH-cam about it
I don't know if it's sleep apnea, but I do have anxiety especially for my sleep, a lot of nights the moment I fall asleep I notice my breathing becomes extremely shallow or just pauses all together until I jolt awake. Most days recently I've felt great, not tired or drowsy and I can still exercise so I wonder what is causing this
I'm experiencing this too. Six years ago I had this issue and saw every specialist for sleep apnea and neither CPAP or BiPAP solved the issue. After months of being on Ambien it finally went away, but now it's back. How are you now?
@@bobo5467 it's still the same, though some nights not so bad, I'm able to fall asleep with little to no issues. However I notice it worsens when I sleep on my left side more than my right. Not sure why. I wake up feeling fine and throughout the day I feel fine so I don't think it's apnea. I'm gonna get checked this Monday I should have done it sooner
@@glizzyman3956 yep. Same. It’s the transition into sleep. I feel a warm wave pass through me, sometimes makes my heart race, and it wakes me up. The cycle continues until I finally fall asleep and I’m good for the night. If I do wake up and go to the bathroom or whatever, it sometimes starts all over again.
Some nights I feel like my breathing is shallow. I wake up in a panic sometimes and my heart is pounding. 1 time I woke up and it felt like my whole body was vibrating, I jumped up and knocked over a lamp. I couldn't go back to sleep the rest of the night. It was scary. I had a sleep apnea test done a few years ago, it came back normal but I think it was wrong. Any advice would be helpful.
My husband sleep fine he falls asleep quick but what worries me is he snores very loud at times and he stops breathing then he breathes again or gasp fo air...he wakes up confused &goes back to sleep..looks like its time to a visit to the doctor..
Black pepper triggers my apnea. Also red pepper flakes. If I avoid those I sleep well. My apnea can be horrible, it can trigger anxiety issues. I control it with my diet. Good luck, and sleep well.
Did you have panic attacks from it? I can’t sleep until 4-5 am every night and I’m so sleepy during the day. I’m overweight and have PCOS but I’m wondering if I need this.
@@ryleereynolds5710 yes, my apnea can trigger anxiety attacks. The anxiety can be horrible. If I drink more than one or two glasses of wine I don't sleep well. My doctor is zero help with any of this. I'm working it out on my own. I switched to a 90%plant based diet and I've lost weight. I'm sleeping better. Good luck, you can get past it. Walking, stretching, lots of water, eat dinner early.
@@rodneysmart9774 thank you! My brother told me to try plant based and my other brother said try carnivore. They are both real fit. And damn I don’t like alcohol thank god but I can’t sleep and have heart burn , anxiety, and insomnia, and day time sleepiness all without alcohol. Even not partaking in activities like drinking or smoking I still have issues it is probably from me being overweight.
@@ryleereynolds5710 heartburn is not a good sign. I stay away from acetaminophen and ibuprofen (aleve almost killed my wife) easy on the coffee, easy on the sugar, lots of water. I measure my H2O intake, I aim for a gallon or more a day. We got this, we can be healthy and enjoy life. Nice chatting with you. PS my brothers are skinny, and super tough.
Not sure if I have it but I know 30 seconds or so after I close my eyes I jolt awake feeling like my heart stopped and with a buzzing feeling going through my body
my husband told me I stop breathing in my sleep and appear to be suffocating to death. Don’t worry he went back to sleep because “it happens all the time” and he has to keep waking me up. I requested an appointment for a sleep study. I’m sleeping on the couch because, it’s clear I’m interrupting his sleep.
I thought I was being irrational for a sec thinking that I could have this, until I heard that congestion could cause it. I have a nasal polipse and have had trouble breathing since I was born. My teacher always told my mom to get me checked out because I was incapable of paying attention and a kid would even complain about my breathing. To this day she still hasn't gotten me tested for possible ADHD, or anything. And still claims that getting me help would have 'held me back'. Because everyone would treat me differently... Its a miracle I made it out of middle school...
@Tikiri266 It sounds like you've been dealing with a lot, both physically and emotionally. Congestion and nasal issues can definitely affect your ability to concentrate, but it’s also possible that something like ADHD could be contributing to your challenges. It’s tough when you don’t feel understood, especially by those close to you. Seeking help or a proper diagnosis now could really improve your quality of life, and it’s never too late to get the support you deserve. Stay strong!
Still waitin for my results, but yes I probably have some form but also have restless arm syndrome, and constant sitting up and slewing. It was observed by my wife the duration was 1once every 5 minutes. Am so done and mentally depressed and just so tired. Hope I get the results soon.
As of now, my tests came back around 9 months ago. And right now it’s been a total switch to a new me, I went from 110 to 138 apneas and now am down to 2 a whole night. It’s a struggle to get used to it and the routine you have to have with it’s cleaning and stuff but it’s well worth the wait and patience and growth. I went from being the worst patient my doctor had ever seen to a complete switch to what I am now. Major improvement to every facet of my life. It’s a lifesaver pretty literally for me. It’s something I recommend to get urself tested for and the machine too
It’s been scary af the past year or so. I not sure what’s going on. I went to a doctor a year ago and they suggested a sleep study but it’s $2k so I continued on. I use an inhaler but it doesn’t seem to relate to that. I do chew nicotine gum a good bit so that could relate to it as well. I wake up in the middle of the night gasping for breath, heart pounding, and sometimes it’s just a quick jolt and I’m fine, other times it feels like I’m about to die and it scares the hell out of me. It has affected my sleep a little a because I will be awaken and wait 30mins or more to go back to bed because how disruptive/disturbing it can be and that seems to make me feel less rested when I wake up. I know stress and anxiety has to relate to it
It sounds like you're experiencing significant disruptions to your sleep and health. Prioritizing a sleep study, managing stress/anxiety, and considering lifestyle factors like nicotine gum use could provide valuable insights and relief.
Fascinating the way people throw out oh just stop smoking just stop drinking as if for some people that is not a) a hugs struggle and challenge in itself 2) for many people a significant decline in quality of life 3) ignores the substittues which may weigh in if one health compromising habit is abandoned. People ignroe the obvious increase in sugar consumption which usually follows the abandonment of smoking and is one significant factor in the rise of obesity-people not smoking any more!
@MrYorickJenkins You’re absolutely right. Overcoming smoking or drinking is a significant challenge and can impact quality of life. Simply stopping isn't always straightforward, and many people experience changes in their habits, such as increased sugar consumption, which can affect health in other ways. It’s important to approach these changes with a balanced perspective, considering both the immediate struggles and long-term health impacts. Support and a holistic strategy can make a big difference in managing such transitions.
Im starting to think all my mental fog, lost memories, mood swings are due to this. Im 37 just relazing this may be my problem and it could all change by getting better sleep. I rarely get a full nights worth of rest even if I "slept" 8 hours. All of these symptoms of sleep deprivation culimnated over the years is probably what has made me the person I am today. Iamgine actually getting proper sleep. Id prolly wouldnt even recognize the new better version of me. I NEED to fix this asap.
@akiman712 It sounds like you've had a powerful realization, and you're absolutely right-sleep is incredibly important for mental and physical health. Chronic sleep deprivation can have a significant impact on memory, mood, and cognitive function, and it’s common for these effects to build up over time, often without us fully realizing it. Prioritizing sleep could indeed make a big difference in how you feel day-to-day. Improving sleep hygiene-like maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, limiting screen time before bed, and making your sleep environment as comfortable as possible-can help you get the restful sleep you need. If you still struggle despite these efforts, it might be worth consulting with a healthcare provider or a sleep specialist to explore any underlying issues, such as sleep apnea or insomnia, that could be affecting your sleep quality. You're on the right track by recognizing the importance of sleep, and taking steps to improve it could lead to a significant positive change in your life. Here's to a healthier, more rested version of you!
my dad is kind of obese and likes to drink wine or beer he said hes like forgetting how to breathe when falling asleep and its night here and he just told us this
@aidawilson971 Living with undiagnosed sleep apnea for so long must have been challenging, especially without knowing the cause of potential sleep disturbances and daytime fatigue. Now that you have a diagnosis, there are effective treatments available, like CPAP therapy, positional adjustments, or lifestyle changes, which can make a substantial difference in your sleep quality and overall health. Addressing it now can bring better rest and even help prevent related health issues-hopeful steps toward feeling more refreshed and energized!
So idk if it’s sleep apnea but there’s been a couple of times where i suddenly wake up taking big gasps for air and heart rate is all the way up, it last for about 4-5 seconds and it’s a horrible feeling, sometimes I feel like I’m about to die while taking gasps, and the noise while taking the gasps is so unsettling that I have to mask it with the pillow on my face because I don’t want to startle my family.
This is really scary because I’m currently going through outta nowhere it just start happening and I’m barely getting sleep I fall to sleep and the drop of a hat sometimes it feels like my throat is closing up on me and I literally almost fell asleep typing this it would be hard for me to go do a sleep study because I’m a single mom and I work a lot I hope this doesn’t last but it’s so frustrating 🙄🥺
I have got nose surgery 1 years ago when i was facing breathlessness whenever i go to sleep and now after 1 year as soon as winter has started it is happening again the same thing with me
Idk if it’s panic attacks or what. But ever sense I was little, I’d sometimes have a hard time sleeping at night because I feel like i can’t breath. I’d be trembling and crying so much. Sometimes I’d stop breathing in my sleep or my nose is clogged up and I’d wake up gasping for air. I’ve learned to cope with it over the years and I usually just stay awake until I feel relaxed and then go back to sleep like it never happened, it’s really tiring though and I don’t know what it is I’m writing this right now because I was sleeping normally and I felt pretty relaxed, I wasn’t fully asleep but even if I was was my body would wake me up because I stop breathing out of nowhere, and I always feel a bunch of chest pain. I get so afraid that I’m gonna die from lack of oxygen, or that I’m gonna die because I stop breathing and my organs might shut down. I think I’m just more paranoid, idk what’s wrong with me
This is what’s currently happening to me now. It’s been happening this past 3-4 weeks now, every now & then I would wake up from my sleep & start suffocating & feeling like I forgot how to breathe. Feels like it gets worse every time it happens. I had my inhaler near by but I’m not sure if that’s what helped me
Going through the same thing. All my blood tests come back normal. Idk why I can’t sleep or why I have panic attacks :( it’s ruining my life and sleep lol!
I experiencing this problem since childhood..now I am 40 yrs old. think my muscle breathing and heart is too slow or too relax until to the point I lack of oxygen and suden rapid palpitation when I sleeping. When it strikes, I'm still capable to to think, aware to my surrounding like I can heard my ceiling fan spinning around. Sometimes it comes with terrible nightmares. Luckily Everytime I having this situation I can think on how to wake up. I feels like "oh this is it I'm gonna die now". Normally my wife will hit my shoulder to wake me up if she was by my side..I made some noise just attrack her attention to help me. The problem is when I was sleeping alone like I went for an outstation trip. I will screaming for help. Can you imagine that? So terrible. At some point I am afraid to sleep now.
I am sure now that I have sleep apnea. I wake up exactly after 2 to 3 hrs after I sleep because I could feel I couldn't breathe.. It's so scary.. I don't even know what to do. How to get help. Where do I even start.
Hey I'm having severe memory issues im only 30 like I can't remember what I did the day before and I have sleep apnea I'm getting my machine soon is it to late to save my memory am I doing this all for nothing it's mild sleep apnea
Sleep apnea, characterized by breathing interruptions during sleep, can indirectly contribute to muscle and joint pain through symptoms like fatigue, often leading to a sedentary lifestyle. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, the standard treatment, has been linked to improved overall well-being and reduced fatigue. Addressing sleep apnea with CPAP may, for some individuals, result in better sleep quality and potentially alleviate associated musculoskeletal discomfort. However, the impact on muscle and joint pain varies among individuals, and not everyone may experience direct relief. Surgical interventions are considered when CPAP is ineffective, but their influence on musculoskeletal symptoms is variable. Individual responses are influenced by diverse factors, emphasizing the importance of consulting healthcare professionals for personalized advice and management.
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. And while waiting for the cpap calibration test, i decided to take a famotadine antacid. And boom, found the root cause. Some of you may be the same as me? Try an antacid, and let me know if this was your problem?
@arrepuess It's great that you discovered a possible connection between your symptoms and an antacid like famotidine! In some cases, acid reflux or GERD can contribute to sleep disturbances, including sleep apnea-like symptoms, as acid may irritate the throat and worsen airway obstruction. Trying an antacid might help some people with this overlap of issues. However, it's important to discuss your findings with your healthcare provider to make sure the treatment approach is safe and effective for your specific case. They might recommend further tests or adjustments to your treatment plan.
@ hello, yes and I did. They said that my findings speak for themselves.. If the antacid fixed the problem, that was the problem. I’m just saying some people should try this. I never even knew I had acid reflux. by the way, I also had weird symptoms such as heart rate dropping down to the mid 40s while at rest. But all of this is gone.
I’m 14 years old and when I stay up to late it’s when I wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air or even sometimes choking I kinda feel scared because I have a fear of suffocating I also am very tired during the day around 9 am and especially 5pm
I’ve had multiple people on over 10+ occasions tell me they’ve woken up or heard me gasping for air in my sleep which has worried me. I’ve also been waking up with headaches, sore throat, been sluggish and tired no matter how much I sleep. And some nights I wake up gasping for air completely alert and my heart pounding out of my chest. Should I get checked out or am I overreacting?
It's essential to take those symptoms seriously, as they could be indicative of sleep apnea. Gasping for air, morning headaches, sore throat, and persistent fatigue are common signs of sleep apnea. The episodes where you wake up gasping for air and with a racing heart are particularly concerning. It's not an overreaction to seek medical advice in this situation. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional or a sleep specialist who can evaluate your symptoms and recommend appropriate testing or treatment to ensure your well-being and quality of sleep. Sleep apnea can have significant health consequences if left untreated, so it's crucial to address these concerns.
Am I the only one, who absolutely loves the adrenaline rush hits fron sleep apnea? Because I kind of don't want to treat it. Even knowing what it is thoroughly. I like having the self defence mechanism in my brain.
@nigelonetasty5370 You're definitely not alone in feeling an adrenaline rush from experiences related to sleep apnea! Some people find the body’s natural response to stress intriguing, but it's important to remember that untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health issues over time, including cardiovascular problems and daytime fatigue. While the adrenaline rush might feel exhilarating, prioritizing your overall health is crucial. It might be worth exploring treatment options that can help you feel more rested while still enjoying those thrills!
I don’t get “sleep apnea”, i get it while I’m awake/carrying on with my day and I just stop breathing and I’m searching for it everywhere, but i can’t find it…
Sometimes, at night, when I randomly wake up, I suddenly feel really numb and I can't breathe. So I feel like I'm about to die. I never found ANYTHING about it on Google. I don't even know if it's either sleep apnea or sleep paralysis what I'm commenting about...
@HE4RTSFORV1CTOR1A I'm really sorry to hear that you're experiencing such distressing symptoms at night. Waking up feeling numb and having trouble breathing can be very frightening. It could be related to various issues, such as sleep apnea, anxiety, or even a sleep disorder. Sleep apnea often involves interrupted breathing during sleep, while sleep paralysis can occur when you wake up but your body is still in a state of paralysis, which can cause feelings of fear and difficulty breathing. It’s important to discuss these experiences with a healthcare professional, as they can provide a proper evaluation and help determine the underlying cause. Keeping a sleep diary, noting when these episodes occur, and any other symptoms you experience can be helpful for your doctor. You're not alone in this, and seeking help is a positive step toward finding answers.
I have severe sleep aponea 60+ episode per hour, I personally think I developed it about 1 year after a fall from a ladder landing on feet but hurt my back... Keep reading things that possibly connected with lesions in the spine and or arthritic changes. Would I be right in assuming this....?
@dantandem It's possible that a severe fall leading to spinal injury or arthritic changes could contribute to sleep apnea, especially if there are lesions or issues affecting the nerves or muscles involved in breathing. While sleep apnea is more commonly associated with factors like obesity, airway obstruction, or neurological conditions, spinal issues could potentially play a role. It’s important to consult with both a sleep specialist and a spine expert to explore this connection further and determine the best course of treatment for your sleep apnea.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of sleep apnea; please consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. ❤️
I don’t believe I’m fat or overweight, im active and athletic. I’m 230 and 6ft and 35. Friends describe my sleep as if I’m dead and not breathing for 1-3 mins and then I take a big breather. I know my nose gets really congested when I’m very tired. I’m honestly scared cuz at times I wake up with a headache and other times, I’m constantly waking up middle of the night. My insurance said they can’t provide me the oxygen tank and sleeping gear because I’m out of their healthcare zone. I’m so confused why they won’t provide me the medical care I need.
I guess mine isn't as bad as I thought. I don't have headaches or major issues during the day besides sleepiness. I catch myself not getting proper air in the night and usually just breath really heavily a few times and it's like it catches back up, but that only happens from time to time. I have NEVER been able to properly breath through my nose. I suspect this plus the weight I've gained since being 40+ are the main culprits.
It's crucial to address the underlying causes of sleep disturbances and breathing issues, as these can impact overall health-consider consulting with a specialist to explore effective treatments and lifestyle changes ❤️
For the past week or two I can’t fall asleep. My wife says I don’t snore. I’m almost about to fall asleep then all of a sudden it feels like my heart stops and I pop up gasping for air. Then I go through that same cycle all night. It gives me anxiety. The first few days I would take something for anxiety to fall asleep but now it’s not even working. I used to wake up to pee 2-3 times at night but I would go right back to sleep. Now I can’t fall asleep at all. Once i finally do fall asleep I’m fine but I’m only getting 2-3 hours of sleep at best on a good night.
@@jakepadgett5569 same here. Went through this six years ago, it went away, and now it's back. I had three sleep studies done, but I barely slept through any of them. I was put on a CPAP and BiPAP but the "jolts" and feeling like I wasn't breathing persisted.
Hey man help please, I feel like my brain is melting, and I'm already on CPAP, over a week now and the fatigue is extreme, I even feel like it's messing with my glucose levels now
Improvements in sleep quality, duration, and daytime alertness are key indicators that your strategies are positively impacting your health. Keep monitoring these to gauge progress. ❤️
Everytime you have an apnea, your system doesn't get oxygen for a couple of seconds. Imagine an engine doesn't get lubricated for couple of seconds. Do this for several years and you will understand why it does matter.
You missed my point. My blood 02 level stays good all night no matter the apnea reading. Blood 02 consistency will mean no harm to any of my systems.@@WatchfulListener
@@WatchfulListener If your O2 level is not dropping, you're not missing out on any "lubrication". In the case of good O2 levels, I imagine the problem would be recovering from the breathing interruptions, as it would pull a person out of deep sleep.
Im just 32years old. I drink alcohol and take tobacco also. When i breath any time I'm feeling deficult. What reason and tratment. Please sugest to me.🎉
When I started to go to the gym regularly and hit the sauna it helped at first but i guess my body got used to it and it started again. Lost on what to do
@Fabo100 It’s great that you tried regular exercise and sauna use, as these can help with circulation and relaxation. If your symptoms returned, it might be time to explore other strategies, like dietary adjustments, targeted therapy (e.g., physical therapy or acupuncture), or addressing underlying stress or inflammation. Consulting a healthcare professional for a tailored plan could provide the breakthrough you need. Keep going-you’re on the right path! 🌟
@@AntonioLopez-kw3ev It doesn't make things worse. Where did this idea come from that working out is suddenly a bad thing? I see people saying that way too often now. It's BS. Working out is 100% good for you unless you're overdoing it.
Does anyone have the problem that the CPAP and/or mouth appliances have reduced their sleep stoppages to almost nothing, but they are still waking up with their head filled with sand/snow/cotton? If this simply because it takes a while for the brain to adjust to the machine so you wake up with a clear head? Because the machine has its own side effects? Or because of an undiagnosed brain condition in addition to the sleep apnea?
I never used the CPAP machine but I would get brain fog every day and it wouldn't go away until late afternoon sometimes later. My problem was from eating food with gluten iin it and eating before bed. I dont eat 4-5 hours before I go to sleep anymore cut way back on gluten and I hardly ever get brain fog anymore.
I have felt like I was floating or like i left my body! Mostly, I stop breathing! I do have allergic rhinitis and i snore like a bear…or so I was told!
My breathing stopped while sleeping for only one night .and i can still control my breathing when i realise my breathing stopped. And i was feeling fine when i woke up . I m not sure if it's sleep apnea bcz my nose was also blocked bcz of low temperature .
@Gamer_boy_0998 It could be a one-off due to nasal blockage and low temperature, but if it happens again or you feel tired during the day, it’s worth checking with a doctor. Sleep apnea symptoms can vary, so monitoring it is important. Stay warm, and consider a humidifier to ease nasal issues during cold nights!
I am suffering quite badly with apnea at the moment, but think it is down to a pure lack of decent oxygen in the atmosphere. There is so much carbon dioxide around at the moment and car fumes etc, that I don't seem to be able to get that oxygen fix like I used to.
It's been more than 7 months yet my severe tightness and suffocating sensation , severe insomnia on the surgical sight uptill hyoid bone on only entire left , disphagia isn't gone isn't gone the HOSPITAL that did my surgury isn't helpful and Denys all post operative complianctions including glossopharyngeal nerve and deep muscle damages leading to bells palsy type look of my mouth after opening , loss of gag reflex and hoarness in voice not able to speak louder too
@Myninololo I'm really sorry you're feeling like this right now. If you're having trouble breathing, it could be an emergency, and you should seek immediate medical attention-call emergency services or have someone take you to the hospital right away. It's crucial to get help as soon as possible when breathing difficulties arise.
Started cycling and lost weight cured it for me
Is that true.. tq for the idea and suggestions
@@feemerrkollit actually is true. My cousin was 100 pounds overweight, started eating healthy and exercising he lost around 100 pounds and lost his double chin as well. Double chins put more pressure on the throat and muscles as they relax when you sleep causing sleep apnea.
I was so exhausted even after sleeping 8 hours, I’d have to nap throughout the day, and my cognitive function was declining.. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and got on the cpap machine... the machine totally changed my life absolutely feel so much better now
How old were you when you started noticing symptoms? Did it come on suddenly or over time?
Any update for us? How are you doing?
How long until you started getting and feeling better
I would say the first week or so was weird getting use to it; couldn’t wear it more than a few hours..... then after about 7-10 days I became use to it and wore it most of the night and started to feel great.
Came on suddenly, started noticing the symptoms a year before I got diagnosed
I'm actually surprised there are so many people experiencing this issue. I thought I was having some exotic experience. Not that I want everyone to be sick, but it's so comforting to know I'm not alone in this struggle. And yeah sleep apnea is a real handicap.
It is extremely odd body issue. There needs to be more studies about this condition. Something doesn’t add up
The jab did it
@@Islandman776 what about the people who didn’t take the jab
@@beerusthedestroyer9325 the Jab gave this condition to a lot of people include myself I was force to take this thing I appeal to not take it and my doctor denied me I was going to be jobless and homeless unfortunately and I can’t believe I’m still alive with auto immune diseases and joint problems now now I have this type of symptom where I can’t sleep or have a goodnight sleep sleep apnea so yeah this jab did it
@@Islandman776 getting older did it mate
Nice and very informative video. Sleep apnea can be serious as it may impact our overall health and can increase the risk of heart disease due to reduced oxygen supply.
Snoring can be the main symptom of any sleep apnea. Snoring once in a while is alright, but if you are snoring for a quite long period and if your snoring is affecting your day-time activities and your quality of life, then it is always good to talk to a specialist.
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and it explains so much
How old are you ? I’m 20 and experiencing all these symptoms
@@johnathanharlow1316 just turned 20 last week. I'm sorry to hear you have to deal with that tho!
@@CameronTyndall Is snoring a common symptom?
@@learnerdas Yes it is. I personally don't snore too much, I usually just have gasping episodes or something similar
@@CameronTyndall what are the treatments? and how are you now?
I have been diagnosed with severe CSA but never knew it to be what I hope is the main cause of my daily struggles over the last several years. At random times of the day, I lose all ability to read or understand spoken language. I personally never linked that problem to a sleep issue but I hope the treatment will reverse it. I am supposed to start treatment here soon so I hope this is going to fix this issue within the next few weeks after I get my ASV.
good luck dude 👍
@K question , did you ever have like a strange feeling in your head like it’s not a headache but it’s just a aggravating feeling and hard to focus on work I work from home on computer and sometimes get overwhelmed because of the feeling in my head
Did y’all ever experience daytime dizziness and memory loss ? Sore chest ?
@@johnathanharlow1316 yeah I work from home and will literally forget the persons name I’m talking to and why they called
@@tylerprince2233 yeah it’s really scary..I’ve been feeling like this for about a year sometimes I can’t even remember what I did yesterday..are you getting treatment
It’s weirds, it only happens to me occasionally. Some nights it’s fine, some other nights I’m up until I have to go to school
Probably has to do with the position you sleep in
Same
Ugh so sorry. It's terrible
I got the same issue it happens occasionally!!!
Yea same it only happens some nights when I wake up it’s hard to breath threw my throat
I'm 53 over the last five years I've kept the whole household awake my wife my three children awake with my snoring my wife recorded me on her phone I thought it's not fair on them I couldn't sleep next to that I went to the doctor I was diagnosed with sleep apnea I wear a mask a CPAP machine my snoring stopped instantly I don't wake up with headaches it's uncomfortable till u get used to it but I've put up with it and I have to say every one gets a good night's sleep and I feel much better in myself.👍
@hondac7028 It’s great to hear that using a CPAP machine has made such a positive difference for both you and your family! Sleep apnea can really affect not only your health but also the quality of life for those around you, so it’s fantastic that you took steps to address it. While getting used to the CPAP mask can be challenging at first, it’s awesome that you stuck with it and are now feeling better and more refreshed. It sounds like you’ve made a big improvement in your overall well-being, and your family must be so relieved to get peaceful nights too. Keep it up! 👍
This explains why I wake up at 2-5am every night of my life-
All these comments but no one on here talking about their successful treatment or what didn't work for them.
lol that's what I'm looking for
Human nature. When their issue has been resolved, they tend not to go back to the video. I saw a couple replies.
First night I used CPAP machine - no morning headache & less daytime sleepiness . Dry mouth sometimes with mask leaks but I feel much better. Therapy works .
I tracked my apnea and found that black and red pepper are triggers. If I avoid those and stay hydrated, I can sleep. The cpap machine was impossible for me. My apnea was horrible. Good luck.
I feel very bad, when some one says he couldn't sleep due to my snoring. some times i feel difficulty in breathing while sleeping. But the most annyoing thing is my snoring disturbes others.
Sorry about the condition. Please visit a doctor.
i was having it i was about to sleep and suddenly couldn't breathe felt like i can't get air in so i panicked and immediately opened yt and it's such a relief that I'm not alone thank you all ....and please can u also recommend me some ways to get out of it
You may need PAP therapy to fix it
@@romzboy ummm I'm unaware of what's pap therapy but thanks for ur concern i appreciate you I'll surely search that and will get it if i could afford 😊
I have suffered from it since childhood. After a sleep test, doctors say your breath stops 11 times an hour, a previous test showed this happens 16 times an hour. Anyway, I am not diagnosed having sleep apnea, but it is ruining my life. It happens every night, making me feel down and having headache in the morning. Sometimes when I'm tired I cannot wake up, and I almost experience death. It's terrible and terrifying. Donno what to do.
Maybe anxiety
Same here
I have been medically diagnosed as having sleep apnea. It is also causing me to have atrial fibrilation and high blood pressure as well. I have just got this result this week and the Cardiologist is referring me to a Respiratory specialist at the Austin Hospital but there is a waiting list to get in of 2 years. I am frightened l might die before an appointment becomes available. What am l to do. I feel so ill with all of this.
@@janicecooper875maybe get a cpap machine from ebay?
My suffocating feeling from my sleep apnea causes anxiety. I have dreams of drowning and wake up panicked. The cortisol and adrenaline this produces in my system remains, and I cannot calm down. I have to drink juice and walk, jog or bike.
I found that certain foods trigger my apnea. If I stay hydrated and avoid BLACK PEPPER and rep pepper flakes I can sleep well. The cpap machine did not work at all. I'm figuring it out on my own. I'm having success. Good luck. I do not want anyone to suffer what I've gone through.
I'm dealing with sleep paralysis for years but just recently whenever I experience one, I can't breathe. Since my mind is awake, I tried to move any parts of my body and not panic.
I like sleeping but because of these incidents, my anxiety got worsen.
The cause are unclean spirits who torment you at night. The only solution is asking Jesus for protecting you. I recommend you to watch videos of Isaiah Saldivar on TH-cam about it
I don't know if it's sleep apnea, but I do have anxiety especially for my sleep, a lot of nights the moment I fall asleep I notice my breathing becomes extremely shallow or just pauses all together until I jolt awake. Most days recently I've felt great, not tired or drowsy and I can still exercise so I wonder what is causing this
Please visit a doctor.
I'm experiencing this too. Six years ago I had this issue and saw every specialist for sleep apnea and neither CPAP or BiPAP solved the issue. After months of being on Ambien it finally went away, but now it's back. How are you now?
@@bobo5467 it's still the same, though some nights not so bad, I'm able to fall asleep with little to no issues. However I notice it worsens when I sleep on my left side more than my right. Not sure why. I wake up feeling fine and throughout the day I feel fine so I don't think it's apnea. I'm gonna get checked this Monday I should have done it sooner
@@bobo5467 the moment I fall asleep I'm not sure because I'm asleep lol but I believe my breathing becomes normal, it's only while I'm falling asleep
@@glizzyman3956 yep. Same. It’s the transition into sleep. I feel a warm wave pass through me, sometimes makes my heart race, and it wakes me up. The cycle continues until I finally fall asleep and I’m good for the night. If I do wake up and go to the bathroom or whatever, it sometimes starts all over again.
Some nights I feel like my breathing is shallow. I wake up in a panic sometimes and my heart is pounding. 1 time I woke up and it felt like my whole body was vibrating, I jumped up and knocked over a lamp. I couldn't go back to sleep the rest of the night. It was scary. I had a sleep apnea test done a few years ago, it came back normal but I think it was wrong. Any advice would be helpful.
The same thing happens to me
Me 2
Shit sucks feels like your dying
Anxiety?
@@mysticpizza02 Yeah It sounds more like sleeping anxiety to me.
Hidden gem channel!💎
My husband sleep fine he falls asleep quick but what worries me is he snores very loud at times and he stops breathing then he breathes again or gasp fo air...he wakes up confused &goes back to sleep..looks like its time to a visit to the doctor..
How's your husband?
Black pepper triggers my apnea. Also red pepper flakes. If I avoid those I sleep well. My apnea can be horrible, it can trigger anxiety issues. I control it with my diet. Good luck, and sleep well.
Did you have panic attacks from it? I can’t sleep until 4-5 am every night and I’m so sleepy during the day. I’m overweight and have PCOS but I’m wondering if I need this.
@@ryleereynolds5710 yes, my apnea can trigger anxiety attacks.
The anxiety can be horrible. If I drink more than one or two glasses of wine I don't sleep well.
My doctor is zero help with any of this. I'm working it out on my own. I switched to a 90%plant based diet and I've lost weight. I'm sleeping better. Good luck, you can get past it. Walking, stretching, lots of water, eat dinner early.
@@rodneysmart9774 thank you! My brother told me to try plant based and my other brother said try carnivore. They are both real fit. And damn I don’t like alcohol thank god but I can’t sleep and have heart burn , anxiety, and insomnia, and day time sleepiness all without alcohol. Even not partaking in activities like drinking or smoking I still have issues it is probably from me being overweight.
@@ryleereynolds5710 heartburn is not a good sign. I stay away from acetaminophen and ibuprofen (aleve almost killed my wife) easy on the coffee, easy on the sugar, lots of water. I measure my H2O intake, I aim for a gallon or more a day. We got this, we can be healthy and enjoy life. Nice chatting with you. PS my brothers are skinny, and super tough.
Good video
Best presentation I’ve seen so far. 👏. Thank you 🙏 Explains everything so clearly, including remedies. Very helpful to me. 👍
Not sure if I have it but I know 30 seconds or so after I close my eyes I jolt awake feeling like my heart stopped and with a buzzing feeling going through my body
Yep, that's how I enter my sleep, I get a scary one first.
Sameee
same.. happening the past few days and has happened in the past but ugh
What scares me is that I'm about to fall asleep then I [stop] breathing and then anxiety just kicks in.
@@visualscenes I have the same problem. It's scary.
my husband told me I stop breathing in my sleep and appear to be suffocating to death. Don’t worry he went back to sleep because “it happens all the time” and he has to keep waking me up. I requested an appointment for a sleep study. I’m sleeping on the couch because, it’s clear I’m interrupting his sleep.
How r u now
Results?
That’s not good, what if one day you stop breathing for too long and you’re not in the bed next to him.
Why be bitter
I got a custom fit sleep appliance made by my dentist that moves my jaw forward to keep my airway open. Worked for me.
A custom-fit sleep appliance that moves the jaw forward can be highly effective in maintaining an open airway and improving sleep quality.
I thought I was being irrational for a sec thinking that I could have this, until I heard that congestion could cause it. I have a nasal polipse and have had trouble breathing since I was born. My teacher always told my mom to get me checked out because I was incapable of paying attention and a kid would even complain about my breathing. To this day she still hasn't gotten me tested for possible ADHD, or anything. And still claims that getting me help would have 'held me back'. Because everyone would treat me differently... Its a miracle I made it out of middle school...
@Tikiri266 It sounds like you've been dealing with a lot, both physically and emotionally. Congestion and nasal issues can definitely affect your ability to concentrate, but it’s also possible that something like ADHD could be contributing to your challenges. It’s tough when you don’t feel understood, especially by those close to you. Seeking help or a proper diagnosis now could really improve your quality of life, and it’s never too late to get the support you deserve. Stay strong!
Still waitin for my results, but yes I probably have some form but also have restless arm syndrome, and constant sitting up and slewing. It was observed by my wife the duration was 1once every 5 minutes. Am so done and mentally depressed and just so tired. Hope I get the results soon.
I wish you peace 🕊️
How r u now
As of now, my tests came back around 9 months ago. And right now it’s been a total switch to a new me, I went from 110 to 138 apneas and now am down to 2 a whole night. It’s a struggle to get used to it and the routine you have to have with it’s cleaning and stuff but it’s well worth the wait and patience and growth.
I went from being the worst patient my doctor had ever seen to a complete switch to what I am now.
Major improvement to every facet of my life.
It’s a lifesaver pretty literally for me. It’s something I recommend to get urself tested for and the machine too
You can DM or ask me any queries as long as it’s not too medically sensed. I can only give you my experience but can help all the way if I can.
@@Splashhh213 what changes u did in yourlifestyle like foods body weight or any exercise?? Does all these related to the problems??
It’s been scary af the past year or so. I not sure what’s going on. I went to a doctor a year ago and they suggested a sleep study but it’s $2k so I continued on. I use an inhaler but it doesn’t seem to relate to that. I do chew nicotine gum a good bit so that could relate to it as well. I wake up in the middle of the night gasping for breath, heart pounding, and sometimes it’s just a quick jolt and I’m fine, other times it feels like I’m about to die and it scares the hell out of me. It has affected my sleep a little a because I will be awaken and wait 30mins or more to go back to bed because how disruptive/disturbing it can be and that seems to make me feel less rested when I wake up. I know stress and anxiety has to relate to it
It sounds like you're experiencing significant disruptions to your sleep and health. Prioritizing a sleep study, managing stress/anxiety, and considering lifestyle factors like nicotine gum use could provide valuable insights and relief.
Fascinating the way people throw out oh just stop smoking just stop drinking as if for some people that is not a) a hugs struggle and challenge in itself 2) for many people a significant decline in quality of life 3) ignores the substittues which may weigh in if one health compromising habit is abandoned. People ignroe the obvious increase in sugar consumption which usually follows the abandonment of smoking and is one significant factor in the rise of obesity-people not smoking any more!
@MrYorickJenkins You’re absolutely right. Overcoming smoking or drinking is a significant challenge and can impact quality of life. Simply stopping isn't always straightforward, and many people experience changes in their habits, such as increased sugar consumption, which can affect health in other ways. It’s important to approach these changes with a balanced perspective, considering both the immediate struggles and long-term health impacts. Support and a holistic strategy can make a big difference in managing such transitions.
Im starting to think all my mental fog, lost memories, mood swings are due to this. Im 37 just relazing this may be my problem and it could all change by getting better sleep. I rarely get a full nights worth of rest even if I "slept" 8 hours. All of these symptoms of sleep deprivation culimnated over the years is probably what has made me the person I am today. Iamgine actually getting proper sleep. Id prolly wouldnt even recognize the new better version of me. I NEED to fix this asap.
@akiman712 It sounds like you've had a powerful realization, and you're absolutely right-sleep is incredibly important for mental and physical health. Chronic sleep deprivation can have a significant impact on memory, mood, and cognitive function, and it’s common for these effects to build up over time, often without us fully realizing it.
Prioritizing sleep could indeed make a big difference in how you feel day-to-day. Improving sleep hygiene-like maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, limiting screen time before bed, and making your sleep environment as comfortable as possible-can help you get the restful sleep you need. If you still struggle despite these efforts, it might be worth consulting with a healthcare provider or a sleep specialist to explore any underlying issues, such as sleep apnea or insomnia, that could be affecting your sleep quality.
You're on the right track by recognizing the importance of sleep, and taking steps to improve it could lead to a significant positive change in your life. Here's to a healthier, more rested version of you!
Very informative video thank you so much
You are welcome.
my dad is kind of obese and likes to drink wine or beer he said hes like forgetting how to breathe when falling asleep and its night here and he just told us this
I have sleep apnea since i was a kid. I was 10 when i first had it , undiagnosed till now at middle aged.
@aidawilson971 Living with undiagnosed sleep apnea for so long must have been challenging, especially without knowing the cause of potential sleep disturbances and daytime fatigue. Now that you have a diagnosis, there are effective treatments available, like CPAP therapy, positional adjustments, or lifestyle changes, which can make a substantial difference in your sleep quality and overall health. Addressing it now can bring better rest and even help prevent related health issues-hopeful steps toward feeling more refreshed and energized!
So idk if it’s sleep apnea but there’s been a couple of times where i suddenly wake up taking big gasps for air and heart rate is all the way up, it last for about 4-5 seconds and it’s a horrible feeling, sometimes I feel like I’m about to die while taking gasps, and the noise while taking the gasps is so unsettling that I have to mask it with the pillow on my face because I don’t want to startle my family.
Please visit a doctor
I know what you mean. I’ve experienced the same thing. Completely terrifying experience.
I have severe sleep apnea. Going in for overnight study soon.
Mast
Great timestamps!
It getting worse its keeping me frome going to work or working properly.
This is really scary because I’m currently going through outta nowhere it just start happening and I’m barely getting sleep I fall to sleep and the drop of a hat sometimes it feels like my throat is closing up on me and I literally almost fell asleep typing this it would be hard for me to go do a sleep study because I’m a single mom and I work a lot I hope this doesn’t last but it’s so frustrating 🙄🥺
Sorry about the condition. Kindly visit a doctor
It's the government they're killing us
How are you now? Did you see a doctor?
I have got nose surgery 1 years ago when i was facing breathlessness whenever i go to sleep and now after 1 year as soon as winter has started it is happening again the same thing with me
Did you have extraction orthodontics before?
You can try MSE (maxillary skeletal expansion)
Idk if it’s panic attacks or what. But ever sense I was little, I’d sometimes have a hard time sleeping at night because I feel like i can’t breath. I’d be trembling and crying so much. Sometimes I’d stop breathing in my sleep or my nose is clogged up and I’d wake up gasping for air. I’ve learned to cope with it over the years and I usually just stay awake until I feel relaxed and then go back to sleep like it never happened, it’s really tiring though and I don’t know what it is
I’m writing this right now because I was sleeping normally and I felt pretty relaxed, I wasn’t fully asleep but even if I was was my body would wake me up because I stop breathing out of nowhere, and I always feel a bunch of chest pain.
I get so afraid that I’m gonna die from lack of oxygen, or that I’m gonna die because I stop breathing and my organs might shut down. I think I’m just more paranoid, idk what’s wrong with me
This is what’s currently happening to me now. It’s been happening this past 3-4 weeks now, every now & then I would wake up from my sleep & start suffocating & feeling like I forgot how to breathe. Feels like it gets worse every time it happens. I had my inhaler near by but I’m not sure if that’s what helped me
Have you found out yet what the reason is because of this & or have you found any cure for what it is ?
Going through the same thing. All my blood tests come back normal. Idk why I can’t sleep or why I have panic attacks :( it’s ruining my life and sleep lol!
Have not had this in years... had a stroke not long ago, and now i stop breathing the moment i slip off, only to wake right back up
This is the type of comment I’ve been looking for. I hold my breath too just as I’m slipping off to sleep. I don’t know if it’s apnea or anxiety.
Thanks again help ING me
Thank you
You are welcome
I experiencing this problem since childhood..now I am 40 yrs old. think my muscle breathing and heart is too slow or too relax until to the point I lack of oxygen and suden rapid palpitation when I sleeping. When it strikes, I'm still capable to to think, aware to my surrounding like I can heard my ceiling fan spinning around.
Sometimes it comes with terrible nightmares. Luckily Everytime I having this situation I can think on how to wake up. I feels like "oh this is it I'm gonna die now". Normally my wife will hit my shoulder to wake me up if she was by my side..I made some noise just attrack her attention to help me. The problem is when I was sleeping alone like I went for an outstation trip. I will screaming for help. Can you imagine that? So terrible. At some point I am afraid to sleep now.
That has to be uncomfortable to deal with Especially for 40 years. Did it ever stop at some point? Then like came back or something
Omg .. it happens to me right now i mean last night … its verry annoying bc i cant have a nice sleep
I am sure now that I have sleep apnea. I wake up exactly after 2 to 3 hrs after I sleep because I could feel I couldn't breathe..
It's so scary.. I don't even know what to do. How to get help. Where do I even start.
huhu same i want to sleep na but its still awake because i feel i cant breath
Go to a doctor and have a sleep study test done for sleep apnea.
Come on you know the answer for that you have to go see a doctor
Excellent, thank you very much.
Hey I'm having severe memory issues im only 30 like I can't remember what I did the day before and I have sleep apnea I'm getting my machine soon is it to late to save my memory am I doing this all for nothing it's mild sleep apnea
I'm same age as you and I have memory loss short-term and and long-term 🥺
QUESTION.. WITH SLEEP APNEA DUD YOU HAVE MODERATE AND HIGHER PAIN IN MUSCLES AND JOINTS... THAT WENT AWAY OR REDUCED AFTER SURGERY OR CPAP SUCCESS?
Sleep apnea, characterized by breathing interruptions during sleep, can indirectly contribute to muscle and joint pain through symptoms like fatigue, often leading to a sedentary lifestyle. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, the standard treatment, has been linked to improved overall well-being and reduced fatigue. Addressing sleep apnea with CPAP may, for some individuals, result in better sleep quality and potentially alleviate associated musculoskeletal discomfort. However, the impact on muscle and joint pain varies among individuals, and not everyone may experience direct relief. Surgical interventions are considered when CPAP is ineffective, but their influence on musculoskeletal symptoms is variable. Individual responses are influenced by diverse factors, emphasizing the importance of consulting healthcare professionals for personalized advice and management.
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. And while waiting for the cpap calibration test, i decided to take a famotadine antacid. And boom, found the root cause. Some of you may be the same as me? Try an antacid, and let me know if this was your problem?
@arrepuess It's great that you discovered a possible connection between your symptoms and an antacid like famotidine! In some cases, acid reflux or GERD can contribute to sleep disturbances, including sleep apnea-like symptoms, as acid may irritate the throat and worsen airway obstruction. Trying an antacid might help some people with this overlap of issues. However, it's important to discuss your findings with your healthcare provider to make sure the treatment approach is safe and effective for your specific case. They might recommend further tests or adjustments to your treatment plan.
@ hello, yes and I did. They said that my findings speak for themselves.. If the antacid fixed the problem, that was the problem. I’m just saying some people should try this. I never even knew I had acid reflux. by the way, I also had weird symptoms such as heart rate dropping down to the mid 40s while at rest. But all of this is gone.
I’m 14 years old and when I stay up to late it’s when I wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air or even sometimes choking I kinda feel scared because I have a fear of suffocating I also am very tired during the day around 9 am and especially 5pm
Tell your parents
Get a sleep study. See an ENT or a Pulmonologist.
Bro I 14
I’ve had multiple people on over 10+ occasions tell me they’ve woken up or heard me gasping for air in my sleep which has worried me. I’ve also been waking up with headaches, sore throat, been sluggish and tired no matter how much I sleep. And some nights I wake up gasping for air completely alert and my heart pounding out of my chest. Should I get checked out or am I overreacting?
It's essential to take those symptoms seriously, as they could be indicative of sleep apnea. Gasping for air, morning headaches, sore throat, and persistent fatigue are common signs of sleep apnea. The episodes where you wake up gasping for air and with a racing heart are particularly concerning. It's not an overreaction to seek medical advice in this situation. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional or a sleep specialist who can evaluate your symptoms and recommend appropriate testing or treatment to ensure your well-being and quality of sleep. Sleep apnea can have significant health consequences if left untreated, so it's crucial to address these concerns.
Am I the only one, who absolutely loves the adrenaline rush hits fron sleep apnea? Because I kind of don't want to treat it. Even knowing what it is thoroughly. I like having the self defence mechanism in my brain.
@nigelonetasty5370 You're definitely not alone in feeling an adrenaline rush from experiences related to sleep apnea! Some people find the body’s natural response to stress intriguing, but it's important to remember that untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health issues over time, including cardiovascular problems and daytime fatigue. While the adrenaline rush might feel exhilarating, prioritizing your overall health is crucial. It might be worth exploring treatment options that can help you feel more rested while still enjoying those thrills!
I don’t get “sleep apnea”, i get it while I’m awake/carrying on with my day and I just stop breathing and I’m searching for it everywhere, but i can’t find it…
Same here
Sometimes, at night, when I randomly wake up, I suddenly feel really numb and I can't breathe. So I feel like I'm about to die. I never found ANYTHING about it on Google. I don't even know if it's either sleep apnea or sleep paralysis what I'm commenting about...
@HE4RTSFORV1CTOR1A I'm really sorry to hear that you're experiencing such distressing symptoms at night. Waking up feeling numb and having trouble breathing can be very frightening. It could be related to various issues, such as sleep apnea, anxiety, or even a sleep disorder. Sleep apnea often involves interrupted breathing during sleep, while sleep paralysis can occur when you wake up but your body is still in a state of paralysis, which can cause feelings of fear and difficulty breathing.
It’s important to discuss these experiences with a healthcare professional, as they can provide a proper evaluation and help determine the underlying cause. Keeping a sleep diary, noting when these episodes occur, and any other symptoms you experience can be helpful for your doctor. You're not alone in this, and seeking help is a positive step toward finding answers.
I have severe sleep aponea 60+ episode per hour, I personally think I developed it about 1 year after a fall from a ladder landing on feet but hurt my back... Keep reading things that possibly connected with lesions in the spine and or arthritic changes. Would I be right in assuming this....?
@dantandem It's possible that a severe fall leading to spinal injury or arthritic changes could contribute to sleep apnea, especially if there are lesions or issues affecting the nerves or muscles involved in breathing. While sleep apnea is more commonly associated with factors like obesity, airway obstruction, or neurological conditions, spinal issues could potentially play a role. It’s important to consult with both a sleep specialist and a spine expert to explore this connection further and determine the best course of treatment for your sleep apnea.
Sometimes at night I can’t breathe like my throat and chest hurts my mouth starts watering is that feeling that you are about to throw up-
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of sleep apnea; please consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. ❤️
I don’t believe I’m fat or overweight, im active and athletic. I’m 230 and 6ft and 35. Friends describe my sleep as if I’m dead and not breathing for 1-3 mins and then I take a big breather. I know my nose gets really congested when I’m very tired.
I’m honestly scared cuz at times I wake up with a headache and other times, I’m constantly waking up middle of the night. My insurance said they can’t provide me the oxygen tank and sleeping gear because I’m out of their healthcare zone. I’m so confused why they won’t provide me the medical care I need.
It sounds like you may benefit from consulting with a sleep specialist to address your concerns and explore potential treatment options.
I guess mine isn't as bad as I thought. I don't have headaches or major issues during the day besides sleepiness. I catch myself not getting proper air in the night and usually just breath really heavily a few times and it's like it catches back up, but that only happens from time to time. I have NEVER been able to properly breath through my nose. I suspect this plus the weight I've gained since being 40+ are the main culprits.
It's crucial to address the underlying causes of sleep disturbances and breathing issues, as these can impact overall health-consider consulting with a specialist to explore effective treatments and lifestyle changes ❤️

For the past week or two I can’t fall asleep. My wife says I don’t snore. I’m almost about to fall asleep then all of a sudden it feels like my heart stops and I pop up gasping for air. Then I go through that same cycle all night. It gives me anxiety. The first few days I would take something for anxiety to fall asleep but now it’s not even working. I used to wake up to pee 2-3 times at night but I would go right back to sleep. Now I can’t fall asleep at all. Once i finally do fall asleep I’m fine but I’m only getting 2-3 hours of sleep at best on a good night.
@@jakepadgett5569 same here. Went through this six years ago, it went away, and now it's back. I had three sleep studies done, but I barely slept through any of them. I was put on a CPAP and BiPAP but the "jolts" and feeling like I wasn't breathing persisted.

Okay I get all this but how do I know it's working for me. That it truely is improving my health?
Improvements in sleep quality, duration, and daytime alertness are key indicators that your strategies are positively impacting your health. Keep monitoring these to gauge progress. ❤️
If my blood o2 level remains in the good range why does it matter if I have mild apnea?
Everytime you have an apnea, your system doesn't get oxygen for a couple of seconds. Imagine an engine doesn't get lubricated for couple of seconds. Do this for several years and you will understand why it does matter.
You missed my point. My blood 02 level stays good all night no matter the apnea reading. Blood 02 consistency will mean no harm to any of my systems.@@WatchfulListener
@@WatchfulListener If your O2 level is not dropping, you're not missing out on any "lubrication". In the case of good O2 levels, I imagine the problem would be recovering from the breathing interruptions, as it would pull a person out of deep sleep.
If I get comfortable I fall asleep everytime does it mean I got sleep Apnea
watching this after i just waking up literally 5 times in a row. I'm feel alone.
It's important to take care of your sleep health; you're not alone in this journey. ❤️
Im just 32years old. I drink alcohol and take tobacco also. When i breath any time I'm feeling deficult. What reason and tratment. Please sugest to me.🎉
When I started to go to the gym regularly and hit the sauna it helped at first but i guess my body got used to it and it started again. Lost on what to do
@Fabo100 It’s great that you tried regular exercise and sauna use, as these can help with circulation and relaxation. If your symptoms returned, it might be time to explore other strategies, like dietary adjustments, targeted therapy (e.g., physical therapy or acupuncture), or addressing underlying stress or inflammation. Consulting a healthcare professional for a tailored plan could provide the breakthrough you need. Keep going-you’re on the right path! 🌟
The best thing to do for everybody is to eat healthy and work out stop eating all that junk food
and cut out stress
Working out increases cortisol and makes things worse
@@AntonioLopez-kw3ev It doesn't make things worse. Where did this idea come from that working out is suddenly a bad thing? I see people saying that way too often now. It's BS. Working out is 100% good for you unless you're overdoing it.
Does anyone have the problem that the CPAP and/or mouth appliances have reduced their sleep stoppages to almost nothing, but they are still waking up with their head filled with sand/snow/cotton? If this simply because it takes a while for the brain to adjust to the machine so you wake up with a clear head? Because the machine has its own side effects? Or because of an undiagnosed brain condition in addition to the sleep apnea?
I never used the CPAP machine but I would get brain fog every day and it wouldn't go away until late afternoon sometimes later. My problem was from eating food with gluten iin it and eating before bed. I dont eat 4-5 hours before I go to sleep anymore cut way back on gluten and I hardly ever get brain fog anymore.
I have felt like I was floating or like i left my body! Mostly, I stop breathing! I do have allergic rhinitis and i snore like a bear…or so I was told!
My breathing stopped while sleeping for only one night .and i can still control my breathing when i realise my breathing stopped. And i was feeling fine when i woke up . I m not sure if it's sleep apnea bcz my nose was also blocked bcz of low temperature .
@Gamer_boy_0998 It could be a one-off due to nasal blockage and low temperature, but if it happens again or you feel tired during the day, it’s worth checking with a doctor. Sleep apnea symptoms can vary, so monitoring it is important. Stay warm, and consider a humidifier to ease nasal issues during cold nights!
I am suffering quite badly with apnea at the moment, but think it is down to a pure lack of decent oxygen in the atmosphere. There is so much carbon dioxide around at the moment and car fumes etc, that I don't seem to be able to get that oxygen fix like I used to.
thats just placebo
BS
It's been more than 7 months yet my severe tightness and suffocating sensation , severe insomnia on the surgical sight uptill hyoid bone on only entire left , disphagia isn't gone isn't gone the HOSPITAL that did my surgury isn't helpful and Denys all post operative complianctions including glossopharyngeal nerve and deep muscle damages leading to bells palsy type look of my mouth after opening , loss of gag reflex and hoarness in voice not able to speak louder too
You need cpap, not operation.

Sorry about the experience. I hope you feel better now?
Those are some nightmare windows
This is happening to me rn I cannot breathe
@Myninololo I'm really sorry you're feeling like this right now. If you're having trouble breathing, it could be an emergency, and you should seek immediate medical attention-call emergency services or have someone take you to the hospital right away. It's crucial to get help as soon as possible when breathing difficulties arise.
Mine is obesityy

I hope you can see a doctor.
Omg god, I thought I was just overreacting.
