These are exactly the same symptoms as I am experiencing, hopefully I can get the same results.I have sleep apnoea. Had a CPAP machine for about 6 months now. Was my wife that made me go to the doctors as she said I was choking in my sleep. They referred me to the sleep clinic at the hospital and they send me home with an oxygen level monitor which is basically a clip that goes on your finger. In 8 hours I was stopping breathing on average 380 times. I would offer wake up at night with my heart racing which is your body reacting to the lack of oxygen. I'd also wake about 10 times a night for a pee and was constantly tired all the time. After starting with the CPAP machine I feel amazing. Feel like I have got my life back.
Yeah it used to scare the hell out of me. Heart literally thumping out of my chest. The machine has a mask which covers my nose and mouth. It has a heat regulating tube which automatically adjusts the temperature of the airflow. If you do end up getting one please don't be put off by the first few nights. It's alot to get used to and you will more than likely wake up loads. You'll get used to it in no time though. It's honestly changed my life.These are exactly the same symptoms as I am experiencing, hopefully I can get the same results.
Is the CPAP machine the one with the mask and constant airflow?
They're excellent. Great bunch of staff there.I have it, I'm under wythenshawe, just waiting to go in for full assessment.
I fall asleep willy nilly all the time.
Just had kip now in work, my staff leave me be and get on with the daily routine.
An ex of mine who was such a light sleeper that she complained when I turned the pages of a book too loudly pushed into doing it. Went to a hospital near Fulham Road. They suggested that I went through my normal routine so I went to the pub. Got hooked up to loads of wires and they monitored my sleep. It's not too much of a chore.Anybody here suffer from it?
My GP is worried I have it, I have to go into hospital overnight at the end of the month, for a 'Sleep Observation' procedure/
Anyone else here done it before? Sounds like I'll be bored to tears doing it!
You should send the video of your exploits (taken by the assessment team) to the Napoli squad to show what clinical finishing under pressure looks like.An ex of mine who was such a light sleeper that she complained when I turned the pages of a book too loudly pushed into doing it.

The only problem was when my little drinking session caught up with me and I was still attached to the wires so couldn't get down the corridor. Thankfully there was a sink just about in range.
cus i got my wild time in between 10 and 11pm, one of us had to be up early for work.So wtf were you doing up at 02.00 this morning then? ;)
sounds ancient, was the sink hooked to a hole in the wall? all the wires on mine went through a coupling, one clip and done.An ex of mine who was such a light sleeper that she complained when I turned the pages of a book too loudly pushed into doing it.

I started a thread on this in 2012 writing about my sleep apnoea. Since then I think my symptoms are bearable.I was diagnosed about 10 years ago have been on cpap machine since. It improved things very quickly for me. Good luck.
