“Apnea is very dangerous. If you suffer from it, PLEASE get help. There are devices that can be ordered”
I agree. My apnea is caused by an unusually narrow airway. My Neurologist stated that I had the most narrow airway that he had ever seen.
When I was eight years old, my dad passed away in his sleep from a heart attack. He was 48. We strongly suspect that he had sleep apnea because he would snore loudly and abruptly stop breathing. My mother would have to nudge him to get him to breathe again.
He died in 1979, so Apnea wasn’t commonly known back then. If it had been, he may have lived longer.
If anyone suspects they have sleep apnea, please be tested.
Agree, my dad snored loudly for years until finally diagnosed with sleep apnea. Before the CPAC, his snoring/sleeping sounded so scary..he would snore, then sounded like a deep throat rattle, then a gurgle/wheezing sound until it started all over again. That was one breath!
I think my mom has it too but refuses to get checked. Hers a little different..she doesn’t snore loudly, sometimes not at all but will often wake up suddenly like she’s choking or can’t catch her breath.
