West Texas near Lubbock | 25 years on cpap. My AHI was 76 with primarily central sleep apnea. That’s when you stop breathing. In my case 76 times per hour. After getting treatment I felt like a different person.
Sleep apnea causes many symptoms. The most severe symptom that I had was depression where I experienced deep sadness, usually for no apparent reason. I also felt extremely tired all day. If I was standing, I was looking for a place to sit. If I was sitting, I felt I needed a place to lay down.
As soon as I started cpap therapy, these symptoms completely disappeared.
I use the Resmed s10 machine that sets itself automatically.
It makes no sound and is easy to tolerate. I will not sleep a night without it.
If your wife says you stop breathing in your sleep, you definitely need to be checked.
Your life may depend on it. | |
