Can sleep apnea be fatal or turn one into a vegetable? I told my doc I refuse to live like that and an RN friend ignored her diagnosis.

Holding one’s breath for 10 seconds while sleeping, sometimes dozens of times per hour can’t be good. Snoring is essentially gasping for breath. Has to be hard on the heart. I do know someone who died from sleep apnea.

I have used a Resmed Sleep apnea machine for alomst two years now. I sleep so much better than I used to. To the point that I do not need as much sleep as I used to.

Have you ever heard the term “died in their sleep?

“Sudden Cardiac Death: Severe sleep apnea is linked to abrupt cardiac events during sleep”

Heh, just take a pill and you might cut your risk of death by HALF! (what about the other 50% the time?)

You stop breathing, you don’t start again, you don’t wake up EVER.

Severe sleep apnea is no joke.

A full sleep study is the ONLY way to know if you have sleep apnea and just how bad it is.

Only if your wife kills you in your sleep for snoring too loud................
