@StoneyMcGee123 That wasnt very nice.

@AimForMyHead81 video tape yourself. then see if what you do in your sleep corresponds to the symptoms of sleep apnea. if so, go to your doctor and they can probably sign you up for sleep studies. Also CPAP and BIPAP machines are of great use.

@krahl4 *There are three forms of sleep apnea: central (CSA), obstructive (OSA), and complex or mixed sleep apnea (i.e., a combination of central and obstructive)

@StoneyMcGee123 Most sleep apnea are obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Central sleep apnea is more common to older people (65+), heart disease and neurological disease. However, this guy is seems to be young and obese or musculatr dystrophy related apnea.

AimForMyHead81 You should have sleep study if you have insurance. Most insurance do cover sleep apnea becasue it can prevent you having stroke, heart disease and other medical complications. If you don't have insurance atleast have the study and buy CPAP machine online. Its a lot cheaper than doctors office.

CPAP is the most effective non-invasive way to treat sleep apnea. Note, I said treat not cure. Notice he is havning efforts to breath with no air movement until he gasps for air. The gasbing is what waking you up from sleep to wake hence making you tired during the day. Aslo, your blood oxygen drops and puts a lot stress on your body specially your heart.

@StoneyMcGee123 There are 2 types of sleep apnea. Central and Obstructive. Obstructive being caused by #1 Neck Obesity, narrow airway, fixed upper airway lesions, as well as some neurologic diseases affecting muscle tone. Weight management should be implemented for all overweight patients with OSA. Central sleep apnea is commonly attributed to ANS lesions, neurological diseases, high altitude, or heart failure.

@buddmar looks like he is sleeping on his side
Weight issues aren't always the problem to sleep apnea. I've had sleep apnea for years and I've NEVER had a weight problem. I've been a healthy weight my whole life. Sure, sleep apnea can ALSO be caused by being over weight. But, that's not the only way you can have it. Do some research next time you decide to be a smart ass.
