Those of you with sleep apnea. What were your first symptoms?
Those of you with sleep apnea. What were your first symptoms?
I feel like i can get 8-10 hours of sleep and still need a nap during the day.
I've also been told I snore like a freight train by many an ex..
I always thought I was too skinny/ in shape for sleep apnea, but we shall see.
Probably going to ask about a sleep study at my local health clinic
You're viewing a single thread.
My partner is a naturally very skinny dude who unknowignly had severe sleep apnea for years without doctors or anyone even considering it. He had to suffer a severe burnout and get fired from a nursing job before it got diagnosed. He had 42 breaks in his breathing every hour on average, so not even 2 minutes of continuos sleep basically ever.
So yes, get a sleep study if you can.
Does he gave a bit of an overbite? I have a small overbite that I think is blocking my airway when I sleep, it's that or either my larger than normal Uvola is causing it.
No overbite but has had pretty severe teeth grinding while sleeping which is related. And all this is related to stress as well. Likely getting a late diagnosis of adhd soon as well.
His doctor explained his tongue relaxes so fully it blocks the airway.
Yeah us skinny-average weight dudes usually have like tounge or jaw or teeth problems when we have apnea.
In my case I think it's my slight overbite is causing my lower jaw to slide to far back when I'm sleeping and blocking my airway
Best of luck to him. I know how hell adhd can be as well.
