I was wondering if anyone knew beforehand that they had sleep apnea. I'm wondering because I'm single and therefore sleep alone so I'm not really sure if I snore or stop breathing while I'm sleeping. I thought about setting up a camera but the longest my digital camera's thing will run is like 15 minutes so that doesn't really work. I have most the other symptoms like tired all the time and wake up sweating, waking up at night and so on. Just thought I would get everyone's thoughts on this to see if anyone knew they had sleep apnea beforehand?

You look amazing Maincat, Congratulations!!!

i also feel like iv had a few incidents when i have woke up gasping and had to take my inhailer for asthma im 99% sure that was s/a. it is one of the reasons for wanting op my auntie died at 40 from sleep apnea so it is very serious she just nodded off and died no cause was found so they said it must have been that, she was very overweight and carried alot on her chest area it scares me shitless

They just called me and told me I have "mild" sleep apnea and I had to schedule an appointment with a sleep specialist to go over the results - I couldn't get an appointment until November 14th though... I hate waiting for everything! My husband and I have shared a bed for 15+ years - and he can't tell me anything other than I snore... he's a lot of help! lol

My Appt for a Sleep Study is in Two weeks from today I get to go on the 30th which kinda is stinky because my long day is friday and of course it's Halloween but it should help for the "dead" look I'm going for since I was gonna be a vampire this year! ha ha

Well, I was suffering depression, missing important business meetings, having traffic accidents because I would just "zone out" in traffic.

I was diagnosed in 1998, and I knew my life was going out of control, but I didn't know why (Apnea is diagnosed much more often than it was even 10 years ago).

So there was not any question this year when I went in for surgery.

But then again, my wife loves my mask (at 50, she likes to steal my hose when a hot flash sets in)
