A frightening disorder.

my ex husband had this... it's very worrying for the person next to them when they stop breathing for perhaps a minute at a time ...but you gradually realise they do restart breathing on their own and become less anxious about it.

JezzerLX, what about those who need the equipment so they keep breathing ? the ads aren't disgusting I too have seen them on TV. if they showed ads with a dialysis machine or colostomy equipment and explained health need and said see your local gp .. is that disgusting. how about heat patches for arthritis? denture fixtures? mouthwash ?

VividPotion6704, One should never assume a person with sleep apnea will always restart breathing again. People have died from not restarting their breathing. That's the reason c-pap machines are used.

Player #96919, It’s called a CPAP mask and I wear one. It’s a life saving device for me. Sleep apnea is caused by overweight. That’s me too.

Neversweats, I had the same result. I didn't sleep due to the discomfort but they said I had it. I disregarded that test. However after a
surgery I was told to use nighttime oxygen so I do. No use tempting fate - is ha ha.
