At about 50, I was overweight and snored. If you have those two things
and your partner says in the middle of sleeping and snoring you some
times snort and stop breathing, and they are worried you may not start
again, then get to a sleep doctor fast, you have sleep apnea (most
likely, check it out)
Developed that years ago when I started getting fat...would get no rest
and was always tired though sleeping lots of hours. Would fall asleep
at the stop light and the guy behind would have to honk to get me going.
When overweight it seems to develop a flap in the back of your airway
that shuts off breathing when you get fully relaxed and into REM sleep.
(rapid eye movement) which is the deep sleep you have to get into to
rest up. This wakes you almost all the way back up and you never get
deep sleep, that is the snort and stop breathing. You go to
dangerously low oxygen and can kill you, before you gasp and restart.
You wont know about any of this, yourself which is why they do a test.
They will find if you have periods
breathing stops altogether until oxygen deprivation arouses you enough
to start breathing again. These episodes of breathing cessation are
dangerous and affect your blood sugar levels.
Solution, a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine that
gently blows pressurized air into your airway to prevent the soft
tissues from collapsing.
Fixes problem immediately, no snoring, no tossing and turning, no
starting and snorting to catch your breath.
No more exhausted all day, when you thought it was really a bitch, this
getting old thing.
Like my machine so much, even though I have lost my weight and flap and
likely can get along without it, I keep using it.
That is another story we will go into later.
By the way, I had a friend who got one and could not tolerate it, had
an operation instead. Often does not work and not usually recommended
for oldies.
Step son had an operation for it, (young, great success) he was
getting kicked out for constantly falling asleep and snoring in class, was tired all the
time, almost had to dump him out of bed in the am to
get to school no matter what time he went to bed.
