(+) Yeah! (+)

Three or so years ago I went to a sleep clinic. Apparently have sleep apnea. Doctor was shocked because he said it's usually "heavy" or "older" men who suffer from this. They me on the mask and I gave up on that quick. It was excruciating and I couldn't do it at the time.

But it's getting worse and worse. Every morning I wake up gasping for air. If anyone is near me as I sleep they always waking me up saying I wasn't breathing.

I also constantly get sleep paralysis in which im conscious, but I can't move, and on top of that, I can't breath. Can you imagine how fun that is? Sitting there for a minute or so, aware of the situation? Pushing with all my will to fall off the bed so I wake up and breath?

And im so tired constantly. I don't know if this is an apnea thing. I do dream.. so I must be in REM, right?

I also find I stop breathing during the day. I don't know what this is. Does my brain simply forget?

Overall, miserable. Who else has apnea? Do you feel tired all the time? Any tips? Anything I could buy off Amazon to help? Or should I try CPAP again? Any input would be awesome.

me too. pretty much have allof the same symptoms as you minus the waking up short of breath part. and the not breathing during the day part, that's weird.

I don't do anything about it. Probably should go in and get it looked at. but I'm losing weight so I'm hoping that helps

gf has it. the snoring is deadly. she sleeps all the time but doesn't get refreshed from it. don't let it get on top of you man or you'll be sapped.

the other night I had a dream that was vividly real where I was being choked to death, woke up in sleep paralysis where I actually couldn't breathe. wasn't fun. I find trying to open my mouth and wiggle my fingers is the best way to wake up from it
