Sleep Apnea

 i think i have sleep apnea and i have been looking it up online.it's scary business.one stops breathing during the night and eventually the stress of lack of sleep can cause irregular heartbeat,high blood pressure,stroke,etc.may also heartburn(which i have) and anxiety.in some cases even death.i also have a family history.my brother has been diagnosed.my mom has never been diagnosed but she has always snored like you wouldn't believe.that's not to say that everyone that snores has sleep apnea.
  anyway,i am a bit worried about this so i thought i'd share.

I have a friend who suffers from this, he has to wear this big machine at night to keep him breathing, they did a sleep study on him and he actually flatlined like 5 times during the night! Scary stuff, definatly see a doc and get it checked out!

I have sleep apnea, and what you describe is right on. I had a sleep study done, and now I have to sleep with a machine. The first time, it felt like I was drowning in air. It took some getting used to, but I sure am glad I got it done. The biggest scare for me was when I fell asleep driving home one day in broad daylight. Don't delay, I guarantee you you will feel better than you have in a long time.
