Well, if you do, it's completely treatable. I highly suggest you get in to a sleep study if you even think you have it. Trust me, you'll be glad you did. I now use a CPAP religiously and will shoot anyone who tries to take it away from me.

this is exactly how my fiance snores, i have to constantly punch him so he can breathe , its very scary, and sometimes he even sits down in his sleepy its weird , i tell him to go to the doctor but he is so stubborn

Is there anything someone w. no (or shitty) health insurance can do? I don't get company supplied health insurance, but I have a policy on my own and it costs a fortune, and covers nothing. Going to the doctor about this at this point is impossible.

I just put on a dust mite mattress cover, & it has cleared up my chronic stuffy nose of 20+ years! I think the pillow covers help too. I also cleared out everything in my bedroom & the surrounding area, got rid of particle board furniture, & use the Neti Pot ... I drink distilled water, eat organic fruits & veg, & have gotten rid of fragrances in soaps & cleaning products (lookup uses of Borax, baking soda, & salt). I try to get rid of environmental contaminants that are all around us today.

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea four years ago, and my life changed for the better ever since.

I just went to my sleep study last night, and the doctors called today and said I have severe sleep apnea. I know how this man feels. This is nothing to mess around with, it can kill you. The sad part is, if you should die from this, it can be missed and documented as, death of natural causes. Please see your doctor as soon as possible the CPAP machine will change your life and even save it.
