I was diagnosed with sleep apnea at only 19, I still remember not wanting to use my CPAP. I was embarrassed of it and felt like I shouldn’t have to rely on something for my health. Let me tell you a CPAP is a life saver and will improve almost every aspect of your life. Since beginning treatment my symptoms of depression are almost none, I am alert, focused, and generally more motivated. If you are feeling embarrassed or skeptical the same way I did, please give it a shot.
So if I go to a sleep specialist will they just tell me to lose weight? That cannot happen over night, and I’m super exhausted all the time and I’m tired of hearing that, and I have been trying to lose weight. I feel as if I need a cpap in order to just make it through these nights until I’m healthy again. I’m 17 and my doctor told me I probably have sleep apnea and told me to go to a sleep specialist. I am not obese, but I’m a little overweight
The first time expirencing this is extremely scary, thought I was dying the first time I went through it, luckily your brain wakes you up to remind you to breathe. very scary experience, I sympathize with all that have it.
Happened to me right now.. My nose is blocked so I was breathing through the mouth, my airflow was blocked, I woke up opened my eyes but I could not move. Not at all. Happened again. It's so scary tbh
I have severe OSA. I’ve tried everything. Health was getting worse and worse. Finally found a few things that work to eliminate it for me completely. I now have 0 apnea’s and I put in a lot of time to figure this out. Hope it helps someone struggling out there. 1. Sleep on a slight incline (pillows, wedge or raise head of bed 6 inches), 2. critical to always sleep on side, 3. I use a boil and bite mandibular advancement device off of Amazon $50 (this is the best thing I’ve found to remedy my OSA) 4. No coffee/tea (my apnea’s have always been much worse if I do). The best thing I’ve found to normalize the horrible feeling from a Sleep Apnea Hangover (i call it) is Wim Hof Method guided breathing(TH-cam or the WHM app) It takes 15 minutes and it completely re-oxygenates the body and brain to reverse the damage from oxygen deprivation through the night. Sometimes I’ll do 45 minutes and it’s fantastic. It brings back a healthy and calm state of being for the rest of the day. I was in such a fog and had a ton of anxiety from OSA for years until I tried it. Gave up on cpap after a year and a half last year and I’ve finally discovered these things that work for me. Hope it helps someone out there! Cheers!
I tried wim Hoff, it made my anxiety worse. Although I still do the cold showers. I used to get really strong adrenaline rushes a few hours after the morning breathe work and headaches so I had to stop. It was sending my anxiety throguh the roof
Thank youuuuu yesss hubby just started using a breathing tube device from our new PT tech & after 1st nite had the best sleep of his life. Continuing! Problem is HIGH Carbon dioxide levels in his brain; oxygen loss; tube & procedure desensitizes this. Calm nite! Thx again-
I resisted getting a CPAP machine due to pride/ego bs. Because I was only 33 when I needed it and I associated CPAP machines with old men. I’ve been using it EVERY night for 15 months now and it’s DRASTICALLY changed my life for the better. I used to jump out of bed in the middle of the night DESPERATELY trying to get air. My heart would race. I’d be pacing around the room breathing as if I’d just run a marathon. I eventually resorted to sleeping while sitting upright on the side of the bed because I just couldn’t breathe laying down. I took naps daily. I was EXHAUSTED. Headaches, sadness, and irritability were the norm. I took a sleep apnea test and was diagnosed with the most severe stage. My blood oxygen level went down to 68% when I was sleeping (that’s really bad) and I stopped breathing on average of once every 30 seconds while sleeping. Point being, if you need CPAP therapy and you have the ability to get it, GET IT!!
I got sleep apnea. 112,5 times every hour, i stopped breathing. 8h = 900 times. And i got symptoms 3-4 years before i got that as a diagnose. And i was 22 years old. Very unusual. It would takes months to get me a machine and such stuff. But i only had to wait 2 weeks because it was very dangerous number. For that young age. When i got the machine. I got from 112.5 to 0,0-0.3 every night. A truly life saver. I never got a good sleep in 3-4 years, maybe even more. I never slept deeply. Imagine sleeping for 1-2 h every night. For 3-4 years or even more. Thank you for the CPAP machine. Saved my life and i changed so much.
If you have sleep apnea untreated, do you still dream ? I have started to wake up before I can sleep short of breath with a very dry throat and blocked nose sometimes but no one has ever told me that I snore and I am not overweight. I am still having dreams in my sleep.
Hope this helps anyone going through this. I have experienced sleep apnea when I gained weight and whenever I was sleeping on my back. To avoid getting suffocated and waking up multiple times during the night, I simply slept on my stomach. It prevented my tongue muscle from relaxing onto my throat and suffocating me.
This is a great solution. Since sleeping on your stomach can be a difficult position for your spine to be in, you can help your spine by placing pillows under your chest and under your hips. This way, the curve in your lower back is maintained while on your stomach.
@@cadencehashira This may be the good solution for sleep apnia but it's more dengiour than sleep apniea cuz if you sleep if on your stomach your chest gonna pressed and in left side we all have heart, it cam even bring heart attack and will also bring heart problem 🤕
@@unknownalpha5643 I think back sleeping is best for those who dont have conflicting health conditions. for sleep apnea stomach sleeping may b best. i think ppl should j sleep how is eAsiest for them and maek adjustments to help
So yea parents don't listen and think it those games so yea even you get hurt or something sick they think it games or something so they don't take you to doctor or thinking your lying and bring you to school when I have sore eyes my dad thinks it normal and brought me to school then my teacher notice send me home so yea they think it games or idk so yea
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea a few years ago, and not really understood what it was until I saw this video. I was issued a cpap machine, but havent used it in quite some time. I'll start using it again now. I have tried recently, but the hardest part is keeping that darned mask on all night. I have this habit of taking it off during the middle of the night for some reason...
My dad actually has this. I would be scared when he sometimes woke up. I thought he was not a deep sleeper. He would always be energetic but i never thought he had this. Even though he died 2 years ago, i still miss him sometimes woke up and sleep back. Usually when he woke up, he said if i was okay and continue sleeping. Rest in Piece.
truly believe that...people need to have a vision of themselves exercising...you will become much more healthier and have such a positive outlook on life...think of your body like a machine..to an extent...exercising helps it become more efficient
I also had my first encounter just yesterday too and now I’m here. Because I took my time to search sleep apnea, I’ve also learned a lot from these comments on how to treat/prevent sleep apnea
I was diagnosed with it when I was four, with an extreme case of over 145 pauses during one night. It was treated, but I'm glad I have no recollection of it.
Third night going through this tonight. Super scary but this video's helped calm me down. I thought there was some malfunctioning signals in my brain 😭 but it's just a hardware issue.
Jimi. Although linked to excess weight, individuals of normal weight can and do suffer from sleep apnea. For those with congenital anatomic issues, no diet will change that.
a doctor mentioned this to me a while back that i may have this... i see why im waking up with extreme headaches in the morning...especially when i dream!!!!
I have obstructive sleep apnea. The sleep study showed that I stopped breathing roughly 186 times an hour, not a night but every single hour. It was one of the worst cases the sleep specialist I was seeing at the time had ever seen. I now use a CPAP machine every night. Still absolutely fatigued every single day though. My sleep specialist has me on 40 mg of Adderall per day to combat the daytime sleepiness.
It was a very informative video. I am Dr Kanchan from Bibo. More than half of the population snores, but only 1-2% have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Snoring once in a while is okay, but snoring for a long period (and daily) can be a concern. It is always good to talk to a specialist about this, as OSA can increase the risk of heart problems (like stroke and heart attacks) and other health-related issues.
i was diagnosed back in 2006 obstructive sleep apnea everything you see in the video is correct i had the symptoms my advice to you guys see your doctor and set an appointment for sleep clinic they will send you a small device to take home and follow the procedures my doctor prescribed me a CPAP machine and im so grateful and full of ENERGY everyday when i go to work and not fallin asleep while driving in the middle of the day but you need to loose weight i drinking soda and alcohol and i lost 15 pounds in a year i dont go to the gym you just need to walk everyday at least an hour a day and drink lemon water it works for me so goodluck to you all!
I work at a pediatric pulmonary and sleep apnea specialty so this video is very educational and informative. I wish the providers there could show this to patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Thank you Nucleus for yet another great video!
I just did a home sleep study test. My doctor told me I quit breathing 61 times a minute. I went to see her because of headaches, fatigue and because I often have dreams where I am struggling to breathe. Next step is a sleep study test at the clinic so a formal diagnosis can be given. But she said a CPAP would help my whole life be better!! My only reservation is having to wear basically a face mask because I’m extremely claustrophobic
I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea for about 10 years now. I'm young, healthy, and physically active as an athlete. Despite this I still had sleep apnea(likely passed on in the family), so it can affect anyone no matter their current lifestyle. After being diagnosed I got a CPAP machine, and since 10 years later I have almost forgetton the fact I have sleep apnea thanks to the CPAP. Its amazing how much the CPAP can change your life. Even if I didn't have sleep apnea I'd still be wearing it. So if you're feeling groggy all day and snore, go in for a sleep study at your local clinic and get it checked just in case. When you wake up in the morning you likely won't remember the brief times you woke up gasping for air, as it's more of a reflexive and short event, so you can't rely on yourself to know if you're having these events.Also I never even realized I was groggy during the day cause I had lived my whole life feeling like shit. When I slept for the first time with the CPAP it was like being reborn, I finally got to experience what a good night's rest felt like. So please, get tested for it if you have the symptoms, it could change your life.
Hi, I recently started to experience this and wanted to know if when you woke up in the morning you have a dry mouth/ throat? Also do you take the polysomnography at home or a hospital?
I have been suffering from it for 13 year and my parents still don't believe me when l tell them. Which actually made my heart stop due to lack of air and l honestly don't know how I managed to wake up in my own bed at 5 in the morning 😅 but l am thankfully 😅
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I was 16 they looked in the back of my throat not only cause I would get strep throat a lot but cause they was wondering why I was sounding like a cow when I slepted and first they noticed I needed my tonsils removed because they were huge! So they decided for my safety to get a sleep study and it came back that I had severe sleep apnea my heart would beat really fast and they said that my heart would skip a beat 69 times per minute I thought it was impossible but they said it was possible but luckily I was able to get my tonsils removed but after that my sleeping did get a lot better but I kinda do still snore kinda hard but they said maybe my weight could also be a factor to that.
Mewing However this is only in the case of a receding jawline, it still beneficial in other ways (it pushes the face forward for example) but not this Try sleeping on your side until you find a more permanent solution
Pretty crazy that sleep apnea affects so many people... You would think it would be a medical crisis but a lot of people disregard it. What's interesting is that there are treatments that are not that crazy CPAP machine. There are some companies such as Zephyr Sleep Technologies that have a cool machine that dentists can give to you to see if you can just get one of these "mouth guard" type fixtures that can treat mild-moderate sleep apnea.
Im 16 and so far in the past couple weeks ive wokem up several times because I’ve stopped breathing, with sleep Paralysis also sometimes im afraid to go to sleep
I suffer sleep APNEA w DYSPNEA ( stop breathing 277 times in 5 hrs) they gave me a CPAP/VENTILATOR. I too didn't want to be bothered w it, until one night it freaked me out not breathing right. Now every time I nap or sleep it's on. Definitely a LIFE SAVER
Frankly ure video are very educative however most of the non English users miss this valuable information I am a medical doctor from Tanzania Africa, I was just thinking on translating into Swahili language ure videos, but I just nd ure help and concerns if ure ok with this
Problem only gets worse with time. Find the most appropriate treatment as soon as possible and I would suggest an at home sleep study every 12 to 18 months after treatment to be sure it is still working for you. I am a dentist and we provide screenings and at home sleep studies all the time. Some patients do well with the oral appliance therapy (OAT) and others may still need some form of positive airway pressure (PAP).
I treat sleep apnea in Houma, LA and the numbers of patients is astronomical. What's crazy is that about 90% of those with sleep apnea have not even been diagnosed.
My 37 year old brother recently collapsed and died from a stroke. He was healthy and never smoked or did hard liquor in his life. He would only drink beers in social settings, maybe once or twice a week. They say he had hypertension which caused his blood vessel to burst in his brain. We knew he had sleep apnea during most of his adult life but never knew the name for it or thought it was serious enough to cause death at such young age. He also got COVID in 2020 and was gaining alot of weight the past year or so, almost to the point of being overweight for the first time in his life which could have played a role as well.
There are four treatments as far as I know 1. a CPAP machine (I'd rather solve it than use a CPAP the rest of my life) 2. They "carve out" part of your mouth throat, not sure what this procedure is called, to make more space for you to breathe 3. The Inspire implant- but this doesn't necessarily stop ALL your sleep apnea episodes 4. A device you wear/put in your mouth to hold the airway open 5. The DNA (day/nighttime) appliance, kind of like 3, but gradually wedges your throat wider, just like braces gradually straighten your teeth.
I know i have this and planning to got to the doctors. Everything almost checks out. *Shortness of breath *sudden Acid upchucks *Restless when wake up ( dark circle eyes) *Cant gain muscles *Headache *irregular heart beat *low energy *Neckfat gain
@@Steve-ArfArf well the doctor check my health any it was good. But to keep up my daily work out. And he also gave me a referral to a sleep specialist. But it took a long time for them to call me. I didnt go to the specialist. I just decided to put more effort into working out eating healthy staying hydrated eating healthy and self care. Which help me stress less. I just did that for me ( emphasis on ME). I just decided to do more self improvement even how I sleep bed sheets and everything I can think of and all those sleep apnea stopped. All I can say is you do you and pay attention to how your body feels and what it's telling you. I knew I was already healthy as a horse I just needed to reevaluate my life the body will thank you for it
If this choking during sleep happens to me only once in a while, does it still count as having sleep apnea? Can a person who doesn't have sleep apnea experience it?
Just so everyone knows this doesn’t just come from being over weight. I had this up until I got my tonsils and adenoids surgically removed when I was 7
Me too when I was a kid. I don't remember since it was before I was 5 but my mum told me I had apnea and it was cured by adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy.
Does sleep apnea also give you poor memory? I am not over weight, but I always feel sleepy, and forget things quickly. I feel sleepy while driving. I got tested and found out I have sleep apnea. I am going to get treated soon.
What's so insidious about this is that the symptoms only manifest while you're asleep! During the day you breathe fine. Your partner is the first person to notice but if you're single like me... I was having a general physical in 2011, when I mentioned to the doctor symptoms of restless leg syndrome. I have no idea how she went from that to "have you been tested for sleep apnea." Perhaps it was a coincidence and she was going to ask anyway. Although I have some tiredness during the day, I think if it wasn't for that suggestion I still may be undiagnosed 11 years later!
Get a CPAP even if you don't have the insurance to cover it. It'll save your life. It did for me. I was taking 3-4 naps a day when i was a driver driving all over the bay area a few years ago. I had to pull myself off the road multi times so i didnt fall asleep behind the wheel. When I got the CPAP machine and eased back on the alcohol I started getting 8-9 hours of restless sleep. I haven't needed an afternoon nap in almost 3 years now.
Ok I have something but I am not 100% sure if it's Apnea. Can someone help me out? I don't choke or cough or gasp for air in the middle of the night. Sometimes I wake up feeling restless and uncomfortable and I move around a lot. My body feels a bit numb and almost as if everywhere had a stomach ache. I can't breathe, I have to open my window for fresh air but still feel like I can't breathe then either. And I go back and forth with hyperventilating. Every time I feel like I could possibly die. Plus I've been getting more headaches during the day.
i don't think its just the weight that causes sleep apnea, it could also be how your mouth is formed, large tonsils long uvula and a wide tongue etc. and i heard when you're sleeping your muscles tend to relax and it lays down at the back of your throat and people with big tonsils or tongue etc. tend to have a problem with this. and how old do you have to be to have the tonsils remove, i heard you have to be at a certain age to get it removed, and why is that? lets say your at the age of 40 can you still get it removed what are some of the ways or devices to get rid of sleep apnea another question: are people born with sleep apnea because of mouth deformity or does it come over time
It comes over time I never had it before now all of a sudden this year I'm allegedly struggling to snore. I lived in hostels all through out high school and never had complaints about snoring and never heard anything from my parents but this year I have it. Funny thing is I've actually been working out even though it's been stop start.
my ex had his tonsils removed and his uvula shaved down. He was in his late 30's. Said it was the most painful thing he's ever had done. They recommend I get mine removed as the are huge but at almost 50 not sure I want to go through with it.
m being tested for this next week. I'm about 90% sure I have it so this will be confirmation. I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and assumed it was just anxiety. I'm fatigued and anxious all the time and never considered apnea. Until I was about 32 i looked real young and healthy 5 years later I'm tired a the time have bags under my eyes and

CPAP machine is the only evidence based intervention for the treatment of sleep apnea. It helps immensely, but it is expensive. Even given the cost it is definitely worth the investment in your health.
ive had osa for 35 yrs now mild/severe. started off from a head injury I have type 2 diabetes but nothing else no brain damage no heart problems no strokes and still alive. even skinny people have this so been overweight might not help but isn't the cause for some. frankly I don't think the specialist have a clue bcause my cpap machine doesn't work for me. the most important thing is depression not able to work bcause falling to sleep there having no money bcause not working n keeping a women who wants to sleep with you wearing a mask but hay all my best to you all ,good look
It definitely could be. Though I don't snore on a regular basis and I don't wake up gasping for air, I am tired all the time and I cannot concentrate. I wake up a lot through the night, especially to urinate. (I was once told that was a sign of sleep apnea.) I've noticed over the past year that I'm having trouble swallowing and my mouth/throat are dry when I wake up. Also, I suffer from depression. I read an article in which study participants who were moderately to severely depressed were tested for sleep apnea, despite have NO symptoms or physical indicators, such as obesity, 50% tested positive. My study is in 7 weeks. If you think you may have it, get tested. It's dangerous. My sister's friend died from undiagnosed sleep apnea (something about fluid in her lungs). She was physically fit and young.
try taping your mouth shut, I’m not kidding look it up it’s actually healthy, it stops mouth breathing at night which is terrible for you (Look up the channel “Look Theory” is your interested to see what mouth breathing does to your face.) and it helps with sleep apnea.
Today after watching this video, I feared that I have sleep apnea (even though i don't have any of the symptoms) when i fall asleep, i got a little scared that i was going to die because of no air, so i kept waking up every 5 mins, but i ended up falling asleep 30 mins later anyway. I just over think stuff a lot...
Does it happen as your trying to fall asleep? When I try to sleep i feel like I lack oxygen and wake up breathing heavily for more air thinking I was gonna die. I started experiencing this the day before my birthday (August 6) and I still experience this today (august 8). Does this mean I have sleep apnea?
Bruh this happens to me once in a while, Im just chilling in my dreams and then I feel how I get NO air, i try my best to inhale but i just cant. So your basically suffocating, and just waiting to wake up. Its pretty scary and everytime it happens im aware that I’m asleep and im just waiting to wake up and its a horrible feeling
I have central apnea I first started with a capap .Now I need a special bipap that aids my breathing It saves my life every time I take a nap Or go to sleep at night.
Central apnea is different. It's not caused by a physical obstruction in your throat while sleeping. It's the brain itself that causes it. It's common for example if you're over-sedated.
ThePro Gamer Hey bro I’m only a kid and I’ll be honest ever since I started playing fortnite a lot the last two nights I can’t sleep because my brain just keeps focusing on fortnite and my brain isn’t concentrating on breathing except fortnite so I stop breathing and I breath again and I’m really scared this has never happened to me. I can’t sleep because I know it will happen and I randomly wake up and can’t sleep for 10- min and I fall sleeper again what do I do??
@@izabellap7850 now you have anxiety cause your always waiting for it to happen. Play less fortnight and see if it goes away. Why are you always thinking about it after ur in bed?

One of my dormmates is choking in her sleep, you can hear her swallowing and you can clearly hear that she is producing a lot of saliva. The interesting thing is she doesn't know she is choking in her sleep. When we talked to her about this, she denied that she is choking, gasping for air or anything. She just doesn't know and sleeps through the whole process. For her, it's fine. For her other 4 dormmates? Not so much...
I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I just did a sleep Study and now I need a Cpap I've done two sleep Studys one and home and one at the sleep Study build now I have one more to do but the second one said the same thing I have severe sleep apnea I guess the last one is to see what cpap I need
I'm so sorry about what happened to you. but your making me scared no offense because I had a dream that I went to someone's house and when I came out the house I couldn't breathe in one nostril but then I couldn't breathe no more so then I woke up abd I was relieved

My father had unchecked sleep apnea for over 35 years. He has so much scarring on his heart from all the years his heart was pumping blood that was not oxygenated. Several other risk factors as well, diabetic and overweight, But the doctor pulled me aside and said if he could’ve only treated the sleep apnea sooner his heart would be in much better condition. Said it is only running on 40% efficiency
Isaac Fregoso Rodriguez your body doesn’t always completely wake up to the point you realize it. My cpap measures the amt of apneas I have per hour and I don’t gain full consciousness every time I have an apnea.
I don't know whether I am suffering with it or not. I have a fatty liver, but when I go to sleep I can breathe in but I cannot exhale, it's almost like there's a blockage in my neck when I try to breathe out.
My mom seems to have sleep apnea. She often wakes up gasping for air. Recently she got sleep apnea or kind of sleep paralysis. She also had extreme blood pressure swings. Doctor prescribed her medicines only for blood pressure. Is she in danger? Is sleep apnea avoidable?
She's not too obese. But little overweight. It's 64 kg and she's in her 50s. She also has diabetes. She checked if she had heart disease and she doesn't have one. I'm scared if she's in any risk
I kind of got used to sleep paralysis and sleep apnea at this point that I just feel mildly annoyed that it happens. I experience it at most thrice a week.
I'm 30 and fit, and I've probably had sleep apnea for 8 years now. I say "probably" because I used to wake up with a really stuffy nose (even in the summer) and have a rapid heart beat. Only recently did someone inform me about sleep apnea. It all makes sense now why I've had trouble concentrating, feel drained all the time, and am really irritable.
@@wheeloz9903 I manage it by sleeping on my side a lot, using a humidifier when the air is dry, use vicks vaporub, and also run an air purifier. Haven't had any heart-racing episodes in a long time.
If I had to write a 5min story of my life! My mother timed me. She said it was around 40-50 seconds that I stop breathing. And I wake up around every 5-10 min. I've had almost every symptom every day of my life the last 10 years. Time to get it fixed before it kills me.
I know this is an old video. But I have a question, is it possible that it would block me from breathing out? I have a problem when sometimes when I'm falling asleep I can't breathe out.
I’m so so tired :( this is happening pretty much every night now. Really need to get to the doctor. I’m so grumpy because I’m not getting proper sleep 😭 I have just wondering issues. Potentially a small upper jaw and I wonder if that’s why this is happening. I’m only 24 and I’m not over weight
Hii.. me too. Immediately I fall to sleep , a smaller sound come out n wake me. It's happening immediately going to deep sleep with dreams. I haven't experienced or known what is it. Now I have been 2 days.
So my dad's snores are pretty constant and I don't hear any pauses in between them. But he tends to wake himself up pretty often. Maybe within 5-15 mins usually longer, he will stop snoring suddenly and change a head position or something. Or shift his body in another position. Then continue to snore again with a constant flow. Is this sleep apnea or just movement? Or something else different?
I went to the Doctor and learned today I have a deviated septum in my nose, I heard surgery to correct the nostrils can lead to sleep apnea, does anyone have some first hand experience with this or did not have the as a symptom occurring after surgery?

I use a boil and bite mandibular advancement device off of Amazon $50 (this is the best thing I’ve found to remedy my OSA) 4. No coffee/tea (my apnea’s have always been much worse if I do). The best thing I’ve found to normalize the horrible feeling from a Sleep Apnea Hangover (i call it) is Wim Hof Method guided breathing(TH-cam or the WHM app) It takes 15 minutes and it completely re-oxygenates the body and brain to reverse the damage from oxygen deprivation through the night. Sometimes I’ll do 45 minutes and it’s fantastic. It brings back a healthy and calm state of being for the rest of the day. I was in such a fog and had a ton of anxiety from OSA for years until I tried it. Gave up on cpap after a year and a half last year and I’ve finally discovered these things that work for me. Hope it helps someone out there! Cheers!
I tried wim Hoff, it made my anxiety worse. Although I still do the cold showers. I used to get really strong adrenaline rushes a few hours after the morning breathe work and headaches so I had to stop. It was sending my anxiety throguh the roof
Good share, thanx. Salty foods trigger my apnea.
Thank youuuuu yesss hubby just started using a breathing tube device from our new PT tech & after 1st nite had the best sleep of his life. Continuing! Problem is HIGH Carbon dioxide levels in his brain; oxygen loss; tube & procedure desensitizes this. Calm nite! Thx again-
that sounds great. combination therapy is often the best way to go if CPAP doesn't work out
I resisted getting a CPAP machine due to pride/ego bs. Because I was only 33 when I needed it and I associated CPAP machines with old men. I’ve been using it EVERY night for 15 months now and it’s DRASTICALLY changed my life for the better.
I used to jump out of bed in the middle of the night DESPERATELY trying to get air. My heart would race. I’d be pacing around the room breathing as if I’d just run a marathon. I eventually resorted to sleeping while sitting upright on the side of the bed because I just couldn’t breathe laying down. I took naps daily. I was EXHAUSTED. Headaches, sadness, and irritability were the norm. I took a sleep apnea test and was diagnosed with the most severe stage. My blood oxygen level went down to 68% when I was sleeping (that’s really bad) and I stopped breathing on average of once every 30 seconds while sleeping. Point being, if you need CPAP therapy and you have the ability to get it, GET IT!!
Great presentation.
Got diagnosed today .
Explains heart fibrillations , midday naps , constant colds , fatigue etc
How u treat it
@@franciscosamath12 I use the Resmed Cpap Machine .
Life changing 👌
@R S It will 🙂
I got sleep apnea. 112,5 times every hour, i stopped breathing. 8h = 900 times. And i got symptoms 3-4 years before i got that as a diagnose. And i was 22 years old. Very unusual. It would takes months to get me a machine and such stuff. But i only had to wait 2 weeks because it was very dangerous number. For that young age. When i got the machine. I got from 112.5 to 0,0-0.3 every night. A truly life saver. I never got a good sleep in 3-4 years, maybe even more. I never slept deeply. Imagine sleeping for 1-2 h every night. For 3-4 years or even more. Thank you for the CPAP machine. Saved my life and i changed so much.
If you have sleep apnea untreated, do you still dream ? I have started to wake up before I can sleep short of breath with a very dry throat and blocked nose sometimes but no one has ever told me that I snore and I am not overweight. I am still having dreams in my sleep.
@@ajdoyle9559im having same problem, did it get resolve?
Hope this helps anyone going through this. I have experienced sleep apnea when I gained weight and whenever I was sleeping on my back. To avoid getting suffocated and waking up multiple times during the night, I simply slept on my stomach. It prevented my tongue muscle from relaxing onto my throat and suffocating me.
Lemme try this, hope I can get a couple hours tonight. It's been 4 days
This is a great solution. Since sleeping on your stomach can be a difficult position for your spine to be in, you can help your spine by placing pillows under your chest and under your hips. This way, the curve in your lower back is maintained while on your stomach.
@@cadencehashira This may be the good solution for sleep apnia but it's more dengiour than sleep apniea cuz if you sleep if on your stomach your chest gonna pressed and in left side we all have heart, it cam even bring heart attack and will also bring heart problem 🤕

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea a few years ago, and not really understood what it was until I saw this video. I was issued a cpap machine, but havent used it in quite some time. I'll start using it again now. I have tried recently, but the hardest part is keeping that darned mask on all night. I have this habit of taking it off during the middle of the night for some reason...
Same here. After watching this video that I got to know why I was awake that much during sleep
My dad actually has this. I would be scared when he sometimes woke up. I thought he was not a deep sleeper. He would always be energetic but i never thought he had this. Even though he died 2 years ago, i still miss him sometimes woke up and sleep back. Usually when he woke up, he said if i was okay and continue sleeping. Rest in Piece.
Did he die from sleep apnea or from something else
I had this problem, kept waking up gasping for air. Eat healthy, do exercise, problem solved after a few weeks.
truly believe that...people need to have a vision of themselves exercising...you will become much more healthier and have such a positive outlook on life...think of your body like a machine..to an extent...exercising helps it become more efficient
Might work for you, won't work for everyone. Don't play doctor.
I should have mentioned, the problem only goes away when I do exercise. If I go a week without doing exercise then I start having issues.
Sleep apnea isn't defined as such.
Well if that works for you, sounds more like a problem with your tonsils than sleep apnea
Had my first encounter yesterday and it was the scariest thing I’ve experienced so far other than sleep paralysis.
I also had my first encounter just yesterday too and now I’m here. Because I took my time to search sleep apnea, I’ve also learned a lot from these comments on how to treat/prevent sleep apnea
Same here
i get that every night where i cant breath for a while i gasp for air and cant move . Im not sure if its sleep apnea or sleep paralysis
I was diagnosed with it when I was four, with an extreme case of over 145 pauses during one night. It was treated, but I'm glad I have no recollection of it.
Obesity can cause Sleep Apnea, but so does excess muscle growth from bodybuilding can block the airway of your throat when sleeping.
No, because muscle relaxed while sleep
Yeah definitely, idk if thats the cause but my sleep apnea started a few months into bodybuilding
I know of a few body builders who suffer poor breathing when sleeping ...
Ye due to roids

Jimi. Although linked to excess weight, individuals of normal weight can and do suffer from sleep apnea. For those with congenital anatomic issues, no diet will change that.
a doctor mentioned this to me a while back that i may have this... i see why im waking up with extreme headaches in the morning...especially when i dream!!!!
I have obstructive sleep apnea. The sleep study showed that I stopped breathing roughly 186 times an hour, not a night but every single hour. It was one of the worst cases the sleep specialist I was seeing at the time had ever seen. I now use a CPAP machine every night. Still absolutely fatigued every single day though. My sleep specialist has me on 40 mg of Adderall per day to combat the daytime sleepiness.
have you heard of inspire? I wouldn't want the thing in my body, but it would be easier than CPAP
Many people tolerate CPAP use quite well.
there is also the DNA appliance
It was a very informative video. I am Dr Kanchan from Bibo. More than half of the population snores, but only 1-2% have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Snoring once in a while is okay, but snoring for a long period (and daily) can be a concern. It is always good to talk to a specialist about this, as OSA can increase the risk of heart problems (like stroke and heart attacks) and other health-related issues.
Dr Dildo u made some valid points. Thx sir
@@pault2178was that really necessary? Lol
i was diagnosed back in 2006 obstructive sleep apnea everything you see in the video is correct i had the symptoms my advice to you guys see your doctor and set an appointment for sleep clinic they will send you a small device to take home and follow the procedures my doctor prescribed me a CPAP machine and im so grateful and full of ENERGY everyday when i go to work and not fallin asleep while driving in the middle of the day but you need to loose weight i drinking soda and alcohol and i lost 15 pounds in a year i dont go to the gym you just need to walk everyday at least an hour a day and drink lemon water it works for me so goodluck to you all!
Nice
I work at a pediatric pulmonary and sleep apnea specialty so this video is very educational and informative. I wish the providers there could show this to patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Thank you Nucleus for yet another great video!
I just did a home sleep study test. My doctor told me I quit breathing 61 times a minute. I went to see her because of headaches, fatigue and because I often have dreams where I am struggling to breathe. Next step is a sleep study test at the clinic so a formal diagnosis can be given. But she said a CPAP would help my whole life be better!! My only reservation is having to wear basically a face mask because I’m extremely claustrophobic
I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea for about 10 years now. I'm young, healthy, and physically active as an athlete. Despite this I still had sleep apnea(likely passed on in the family), so it can affect anyone no matter their current lifestyle. After being diagnosed I got a CPAP machine, and since 10 years later I have almost forgetton the fact I have sleep apnea thanks to the CPAP. Its amazing how much the CPAP can change your life. Even if I didn't have sleep apnea I'd still be wearing it. So if you're feeling groggy all day and snore, go in for a sleep study at your local clinic and get it checked just in case. When you wake up in the morning you likely won't remember the brief times you woke up gasping for air, as it's more of a reflexive and short event, so you can't rely on yourself to know if you're having these events.Also I never even realized I was groggy during the day cause I had lived my whole life feeling like shit. When I slept for the first time with the CPAP it was like being reborn, I finally got to experience what a good night's rest felt like. So please, get tested for it if you have the symptoms, it could change your life.
Hi, I recently started to experience this and wanted to know if when you woke up in the morning you have a dry mouth/ throat? Also do you take the polysomnography at home or a hospital?
I have been suffering from it for 13 year and my parents still don't believe me when l tell them. Which actually made my heart stop due to lack of air and l honestly don't know how I managed to wake up in my own bed at 5 in the morning 😅 but l am thankfully 😅
Get a mouth guard
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I was 16 they looked in the back of my throat not only cause I would get strep throat a lot but cause they was wondering why I was sounding like a cow when I slepted and first they noticed I needed my tonsils removed because they were huge! So they decided for my safety to get a sleep study and it came back that I had severe sleep apnea my heart would beat really fast and they said that my heart would skip a beat 69 times per minute I thought it was impossible but they said it was possible but luckily I was able to get my tonsils removed but after that my sleeping did get a lot better but I kinda do still snore kinda hard but they said maybe my weight could also be a factor to that.
Get a mouth guard. Problem solved.
@@deepthoughts8393 How bout u grow up cause u sound hella immature rn.
Deep thoughts. Oral appliances don’t solve all or even most cases of sleep apnea, though for some they do help.

Pretty crazy that sleep apnea affects so many people... You would think it would be a medical crisis but a lot of people disregard it. What's interesting is that there are treatments that are not that crazy CPAP machine. There are some companies such as Zephyr Sleep Technologies that have a cool machine that dentists can give to you to see if you can just get one of these "mouth guard" type fixtures that can treat mild-moderate sleep apnea.
Hey, thank you so much for sharing this. It turns our Zephyr shut down in June 2021… Is there another company who makes a comparable device?
Oral appliances do not work for everyone and carry an increased risk of TMJ issues..
My dad has this ...and he had stroke 4 years back...now he is on danger side. .. kindly take care by doing breathing exercises
Does this happen when you lay on your back
Im 16 and so far in the past couple weeks ive wokem up several times because I’ve stopped breathing, with sleep Paralysis also sometimes im afraid to go to sleep
same besides for the paralysis and i’m 17
I suffer sleep APNEA w DYSPNEA ( stop breathing 277 times in 5 hrs) they gave me a CPAP/VENTILATOR. I too didn't want to be bothered w it, until one night it freaked me out not breathing right. Now every time I nap or sleep it's on. Definitely a LIFE SAVER
Glad I got my answers. It's really scary going through this. 4 times in 2 yrs.
Please if you find solution for it tell me how
Thanks for your comment!
Frankly ure video are very educative however most of the non English users miss this valuable information I am a medical doctor from Tanzania Africa, I was just thinking on translating into Swahili language ure videos, but I just nd ure help and concerns if ure ok with this
Problem only gets worse with time. Find the most appropriate treatment as soon as possible and I would suggest an at home sleep study every 12 to 18 months after treatment to be sure it is still working for you. I am a dentist and we provide screenings and at home sleep studies all the time. Some patients do well with the oral appliance therapy (OAT) and others may still need some form of positive airway pressure (PAP).
I treat sleep apnea in Houma, LA and the numbers of patients is astronomical. What's crazy is that about 90% of those with sleep apnea have not even been diagnosed.
Very well explained. Great work
My 37 year old brother recently collapsed and died from a stroke. He was healthy and never smoked or did hard liquor in his life. He would only drink beers in social settings, maybe once or twice a week. They say he had hypertension which caused his blood vessel to burst in his brain. We knew he had sleep apnea during most of his adult life but never knew the name for it or thought it was serious enough to cause death at such young age. He also got COVID in 2020 and was gaining alot of weight the past year or so, almost to the point of being overweight for the first time in his life which could have played a role as well.
Thank you so much for this knowledgeable video
There are four treatments as far as I know
1. a CPAP machine (I'd rather solve it than use a CPAP the rest of my life)
2. They "carve out" part of your mouth throat, not sure what this procedure is called, to make more space for you to breathe
3. The Inspire implant- but this doesn't necessarily stop ALL your sleep apnea episodes
4. A device you wear/put in your mouth to hold the airway open
5. The DNA (day/nighttime) appliance, kind of like 3, but gradually wedges your throat wider, just like braces gradually straighten your teeth.
I know i have this and planning to got to the doctors. Everything almost checks out.
*Shortness of breath
*sudden Acid upchucks
*Restless when wake up ( dark circle eyes)
*Cant gain muscles
*Headache
*irregular heart beat
*low energy
*Neckfat gain
Any improvements?
@@Steve-ArfArf well the doctor check my health any it was good. But to keep up my daily work out. And he also gave me a referral to a sleep specialist. But it took a long time for them to call me. I didnt go to the specialist. I just decided to put more effort into working out eating healthy staying hydrated eating healthy and self care. Which help me stress less. I just did that for me ( emphasis on ME). I just decided to do more self improvement even how I sleep bed sheets and everything I can think of and all those sleep apnea stopped. All I can say is you do you and pay attention to how your body feels and what it's telling you. I knew I was already healthy as a horse I just needed to reevaluate my life the body will thank you for it
If this choking during sleep happens to me only once in a while, does it still count as having sleep apnea? Can a person who doesn't have sleep apnea experience it?
Just so everyone knows this doesn’t just come from being over weight. I had this up until I got my tonsils and adenoids surgically removed when I was 7
Hi I know I am quite late to this comment but I had some questions if u had time?
Me too when I was a kid. I don't remember since it was before I was 5 but my mum told me I had apnea and it was cured by adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy.
I think i might have it at 15, and I'm skinny
Is it normal ?
Does sleep apnea also give you poor memory? I am not over weight, but I always feel sleepy, and forget things quickly. I feel sleepy while driving. I got tested and found out I have sleep apnea. I am going to get treated soon.
Yupp OSA leads to fatigue and poor performance too
You should Sleep enough
I have something similar to this but I am always conscious when it happens and I cannot move. Is this actually sleep apnea?
p.s
This happens even if I sleep sideways.
@@cuewardy1645 same
What's so insidious about this is that the symptoms only manifest while you're asleep! During the day you breathe fine. Your partner is the first person to notice but if you're single like me... I was having a general physical in 2011, when I mentioned to the doctor symptoms of restless leg syndrome. I have no idea how she went from that to "have you been tested for sleep apnea." Perhaps it was a coincidence and she was going to ask anyway. Although I have some tiredness during the day, I think if it wasn't for that suggestion I still may be undiagnosed 11 years later!
i freakin feel you man. it’s scary!
Get a CPAP even if you don't have the insurance to cover it. It'll save your life. It did for me. I was taking 3-4 naps a day when i was a driver driving all over the bay area a few years ago. I had to pull myself off the road multi times so i didnt fall asleep behind the wheel. When I got the CPAP machine and eased back on the alcohol I started getting 8-9 hours of restless sleep. I haven't needed an afternoon nap in almost 3 years now.
It really is the alcohol too
Ok I have something but I am not 100% sure if it's Apnea. Can someone help me out?
I don't choke or cough or gasp for air in the middle of the night. Sometimes I wake up feeling restless and uncomfortable and I move around a lot. My body feels a bit numb and almost as if everywhere had a stomach ache. I can't breathe, I have to open my window for fresh air but still feel like I can't breathe then either. And I go back and forth with hyperventilating. Every time I feel like I could possibly die. Plus I've been getting more headaches during the day.
Thank you for this informative content. I hope this one could help me and the others out there.
Doctors say my lower jaw is too small and back. This is terrible. I almost die every night, choking. I'm scared of injury, what can I do?
Another side effect is anxiety attacks when you wake up from not getting air.
Which doctor to consult for this
i don't think its just the weight that causes sleep apnea, it could also be how your mouth is formed, large tonsils long uvula and a wide tongue etc. and i heard when you're sleeping your muscles tend to relax and it lays down at the back of your throat and people with big tonsils or tongue etc. tend to have a problem with this.
and how old do you have to be to have the tonsils remove, i heard you have to be at a certain age to get it removed, and why is that? lets say your at the age of 40 can you still get it removed
what are some of the ways or devices to get rid of sleep apnea
another question: are people born with sleep apnea because of mouth deformity or does it come over time
older the age the more bleeding and complications
It comes over time I never had it before now all of a sudden this year I'm allegedly struggling to snore. I lived in hostels all through out high school and never had complaints about snoring and never heard anything from my parents but this year I have it.
Funny thing is I've actually been working out even though it's been stop start.
my ex had his tonsils removed and his uvula shaved down. He was in his late 30's. Said it was the most painful thing he's ever had done. They recommend I get mine removed as the are huge but at almost 50 not sure I want to go through with it.

Why arent there any videos of people having sleep apnea episodes?
I don't wake up gasping for air but I do notice when I wake up that my mouth is open. Is this bad? Do I have sleep apnea?
It definitely could be. Though I don't snore on a regular basis and I don't wake up gasping for air, I am tired all the time and I cannot concentrate. I wake up a lot through the night, especially to urinate. (I was once told that was a sign of sleep apnea.) I've noticed over the past year that I'm having trouble swallowing and my mouth/throat are dry when I wake up. Also, I suffer from depression. I read an article in which study participants who were moderately to severely depressed were tested for sleep apnea, despite have NO symptoms or physical indicators, such as obesity, 50% tested positive. My study is in 7 weeks. If you think you may have it, get tested. It's dangerous. My sister's friend died from undiagnosed sleep apnea (something about fluid in her lungs). She was physically fit and young.
try taping your mouth shut, I’m not kidding look it up it’s actually healthy, it stops mouth breathing at night which is terrible for you (Look up the channel “Look Theory” is your interested to see what mouth breathing does to your face.) and it helps with sleep apnea.
If I snore what’s the chances of me having this problem?
Today after watching this video, I feared that I have sleep apnea (even though i don't have any of the symptoms) when i fall asleep, i got a little scared that i was going to die because of no air, so i kept waking up every 5 mins, but i ended up falling asleep 30 mins later anyway. I just over think stuff a lot...
The same happened to me
Does it happen as your trying to fall asleep? When I try to sleep i feel like I lack oxygen and wake up breathing heavily for more air thinking I was gonna die. I started experiencing this the day before my birthday (August 6) and I still experience this today (august 8). Does this mean I have sleep apnea?

Central apnea is different. It's not caused by a physical obstruction in your throat while sleeping. It's the brain itself that causes it. It's common for example if you're over-sedated.

It's been 8 years now. Time flies. You'll be okay. It was only a dream. I hope you are healthy. May God bless you!✨
@@priyamnarula6546 I'm sorry about what happened to your dad but he's in a good place. In heaven
My father had unchecked sleep apnea for over 35 years. He has so much scarring on his heart from all the years his heart was pumping blood that was not oxygenated. Several other risk factors as well, diabetic and overweight,
But the doctor pulled me aside and said if he could’ve only treated the sleep apnea sooner his heart would be in much better condition. Said it is only running on 40% efficiency
Do you always wake up when it happens because I don't wake up in the night
Abel Posada not fully, sometimes subconsciously
Box O yeah but not fully. When i notice i cant breath, i wake up and go back to sleep. This happens sometimes not all the time idk about you guys
Isaac Fregoso Rodriguez your body doesn’t always completely wake up to the point you realize it. My cpap measures the amt of apneas I have per hour and I don’t gain full consciousness every time I have an apnea.
You wouldn't know but your family members will.
I have same problem, what to do??
Ever best animated video . If any TH-cam channel deserves "The Great" , that is Nucleus media. Thanks.
I don't know whether I am suffering with it or not. I have a fatty liver, but when I go to sleep I can breathe in but I cannot exhale, it's almost like there's a blockage in my neck when I try to breathe out.
I faced this problem so many times, even in day time sleeping also but now I'm good
Do u feel Headche at that time becoz my mother facing mostly Headche with sleepness.. what treatment u taken can send tablet names pls
My mom seems to have sleep apnea. She often wakes up gasping for air. Recently she got sleep apnea or kind of sleep paralysis. She also had extreme blood pressure swings. Doctor prescribed her medicines only for blood pressure. Is she in danger? Is sleep apnea avoidable?
She's not too obese. But little overweight. It's 64 kg and she's in her 50s. She also has diabetes. She checked if she had heart disease and she doesn't have one. I'm scared if she's in any risk
I kind of got used to sleep paralysis and sleep apnea at this point that I just feel mildly annoyed that it happens. I experience it at most thrice a week.
For how long have u been experiencing it?
@@ninaclareparedes6354 Years ago already
If you got a cpap plz use it I finally feel rested I was always tired when I would not use it
I'm 30 and fit, and I've probably had sleep apnea for 8 years now. I say "probably" because I used to wake up with a really stuffy nose (even in the summer) and have a rapid heart beat. Only recently did someone inform me about sleep apnea. It all makes sense now why I've had trouble concentrating, feel drained all the time, and am really irritable.
What's happen now?
@@wheeloz9903 I manage it by sleeping on my side a lot, using a humidifier when the air is dry, use vicks vaporub, and also run an air purifier. Haven't had any heart-racing episodes in a long time.
Please do sutraneti and jalaneti complete cure for all chronic Ear nose and tongue problems
CPAP is a god-sent. It's like power-steering for your lungs! Highly recommended!!
I have the sleep apnea after been tired for years and been told to suck it up
If I had to write a 5min story of my life! My mother timed me. She said it was around 40-50 seconds that I stop breathing. And I wake up around every 5-10 min. I've had almost every symptom every day of my life the last 10 years. Time to get it fixed before it kills me.
shawng7902 try cpap machine just gives you extra oxygen
I been told by my cardiologist doctor I have sleep apnea 6 mos. Ago but I never been treated for it.
I know this is an old video. But I have a question, is it possible that it would block me from breathing out? I have a problem when sometimes when I'm falling asleep I can't breathe out.
So how do I treat this at home?
I’m so so tired :( this is happening pretty much every night now. Really need to get to the doctor. I’m so grumpy because I’m not getting proper sleep 😭 I have just wondering issues. Potentially a small upper jaw and I wonder if that’s why this is happening. I’m only 24 and I’m not over weight
Hii.. me too. Immediately I fall to sleep , a smaller sound come out n wake me. It's happening immediately going to deep sleep with dreams. I haven't experienced or known what is it. Now I have been 2 days.
So my dad's snores are pretty constant and I don't hear any pauses in between them. But he tends to wake himself up pretty often. Maybe within 5-15 mins usually longer, he will stop snoring suddenly and change a head position or something. Or shift his body in another position. Then continue to snore again with a constant flow. Is this sleep apnea or just movement? Or something else different?
As a son of a father who has a very similar experience I say to watch him carefully as my father has a form of sleep disorder similar to this
@@crystalgaming1185 if you don't mind saying, sleep apnea or something else?
@@meowiies I can't say for sure but I believe it's something connected.
@@crystalgaming1185 I see. Thank you for responding back. Wishing the best for your dad ❤️
Allahu akbar(allah is great)what a creation we are..... ❤️❤️❤️❤️subhanallah...
Fathima Nidhapk alhamdu lillah
Fuck off
I went to the Doctor and learned today I have a deviated septum in my nose, I heard surgery to correct the nostrils can lead to sleep apnea, does anyone have some first hand experience with this or did not have the as a symptom occurring after surgery?
