Same here. I started having episodes back in 1993 (right after I separated from the Air Force) where I would wake up out of breath, or not being able to breath, but I never asked the question about that to my doctor until 2016 and that's when I was diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Now I'm trying to get either a VA or SSA disability based on that diagnosis.
I've been ramping up my usage of my ResMed and I feel it's really making a difference. Like last night, I put the mask on and turned on the machine at 10:30 PM and the next thing I know it's 6:30 AM in the morning. Amazing for me!
Thanks for your input!
” I would wake up out of breath, or not being able to breath, but I never asked the question about that to my doctor until 2016 and that’s when I was diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea.”
Wow, that’s exactly what happened to me. It caused dreams of running and being totally exhausted, then I would wake up out of breath. About the same time frame for me, too. It was horrible!
