I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea 4 years ago, my consultant said I was the worst case she’d seen in 30 yrs. I stop breathing 105 times an hour! I was surviving on 2 hrs of BROKEN sleep a night , I was like the walking dead! I work 5 days a week as well as caring for my disabled child as a single mum. I didn’t know what it was like not to feel tired. I’d been like this pretty much all my life. I was born prematurely and have a very narrow windpipe. I have a CPAP machine now and it has completely changed my life! I am awake from 06:30 until 23:30 every day and I NEVER need to nap anymore! Life is 100% better! If you have the symptoms of sleep apnea, I urge you to seek help…it WILL change your life!

I come from a family of sleep apnea sufferers, and started to choke in my sleep in my mid-40s. I did research and discovered that being over weight and high blood sugar levels cause breathing difficulties during sleep. I was able to cure my sleep apnea through dieting and exercise. I stopped eating all refined foods, sugar and alcohol. After eating a strict whole natural food diet and daily walking within only 3 months my weight returned to normal, I stopped snoring and no longer have sleep apnea.

If you are debating whether or not getting a sleep study DO IT! Cpap literally saved my life.

I lost 10 pounds and my sudden wake ups stopped when I noticed it over the summer. This a good incentive to keep the weight off and the quality of sleep is much better too. I need 7 hours of sleep now compared to 9-10 hours like I used to.

Such a lovely young lady. I am glad she sought treatment. Untreated sleep apnea is a killer.

I see a sleep specialist this morning to get a referral for my sleep study. Watching all of these videos make me feel a lot better about the situation.

I don’t have the choking awake symptoms and never have but when she talks about how good she feels after sleeping it makes me emotional to here because I crave that so badly. I have my test in one month and it cannot come soon enough. I hope that i finally get answers 😢 being exhausted all of the time is ruining my life

The fatigue is sooooooo bad and heavy 😩🤦🏾‍♂️

Until I used the CPAP machine, I was regularly waking up choking and gasping for air during the night. Watching from London UK. I'm a middle aged male. But I've had this issue since I was a young kid.

:) happy that she can sleep fine now

for awhile now now i've been feeling exhausted during the day and having awful restless sleep at night. last night was the first night i've woken up panicked with a deep inhale like i've just been holding my breath underwater for a minute, it happened several times, after which i just couldn't get back to sleep. gonna see my GP tomorrow because i am crazy tired and can't sleep, i'm glad to find out it might be something treatable.

I feel like it’s more of a waking up choking in the middle of the night, do you think this is the same thing as when people describe waking up gasping? I am waiting for a sleep study, but am curious if I am describing the same symptom as waking up gasping.

I have the same problem I'm so scared I don't wanna sleep I fear I might die

Thanks for your story. The Doctor did explained it, plain and simple

I don't want this to come over in a nasty way but the whole point of watching this video was to see what treatment she had as well and if it helped so to follow the whole journey but there's nothing on here about that? If you're doing another one like that it would really be helpful.

I came here because the past few nights I wasn't able to get any sleep at all. Every time I doze off I would wake up with shortness of breath and discomfort which keeps me up all night.. almost like my throat is closing. But during the day I'm fine it's only at night when I'm sleeping that I get interrupted and feel like I need to take a deep breath. Zero sleep..

Omg I came to make a joke but watching the video I'm realizing I have all these symptoms! I'm not even going to make my joke now. This may have been a very helpful video for me. EDIT It turns out it was a result of my massive alcohol abuse. I'm sober now and it went away.

I am a person that wakes up every half hour all night my dad told me I'm scary to see when I sleep......I'm afraid to even go

And she’s sleeping on her back which is really bad.

Does sleep apnea make people feel dizzy or light headed through out the day and shortness of breath ?

great video

Hey I'm having severe memory issues im only 30 like I can't remember what I did the day before and I have sleep apnea I'm getting my machine soon is it to late to save my memory am I doing this all for nothing it's mild sleep apnea

On 12th June 2019 night(today's night) in sleep I paused my breath for 3-4 minutes(involuntary), I get up from bed and walking for something(air) holding my neck with hand, I don't even know what happened till my parents said,all is done but I'm not knowing what is happening, I got conciousness after 4 mins of sleep paused by their sounds(crying, screaming) Can you help me to get out of this situation Will anyone paused breath 4 minutes??

I don't have sleep apnea, thankfully. I'm a side sleeper and have bad posture. My body can't get relaxed sleeping on my back

So how did they treat it?

I take sleep8ng pills and since thrn i seem to have slept through it, but my fitness watch had a large shadow say8ng breathing difficulties so I think am sleeping through it what shoukd I do. I cant sleep atall without sleeping pills insomniac since i was six

Sleep specialist told her to stop eating fast food and her sleep apnea went away.

I always had it as a female and. I sleep only on my side

Your maybe tongue tie I was and my tongue was release by cutting frenum and now I’m Breathing good .

Wait a minute what was The Cure? And she still overweight

We're so careful, the way we walk around the issue of obesity. The physician in the video does mention it - however, be sort-of breezes by it. This young woman is carrying significant extra weight - and that's good news in the sense that her sleep apnea *may* resolve if she's able to lose weight. Ironically, it can be harder to lose weight with untreated apnea - so even if you hate using CPAP, you may want to use it temporarily while actively trying to lose weight. The ultimate goal would be that you're no longer struggling with obesity OR with apnea; and if that happens, you can happily kick your CPAP to the curb.

So how does being overweight cause your tongue to be more relaxed? 🤔

Because she is overweight like no shit. It is more common in men but it is most common in overweight people wether male or female if your overweight your chances go up dramatically.

Mine is shooting up because I go sooooo long without breathing

I've had untr untreated sleep apnea for 6 years and for about the last 3 months I wake up dizzy every single day and I've got a pounding headache everyday ,does anyone know if this is related to sleep apnea? Thanks .

She's cute. I actually have, nervous, and constructive, sleep apnea. The mask is a pain in the ass, sometimes, but when my insomnia isn't keeping me up, I sleep so much better, with my cpap.

I have tried the cpap machine, and it is horrible to sleep with. I seems it makes sleeping more difficult and I get less sleep with it. I sleep better without it. If you sleep on your side, you can sleep better. The worst position is sleeping on your back. It clogs the air passage.

so what treatment option did she get.....

hm no maybe I have something different, I wake up like someone turn me on like a TV or something xD, my sight is dark as hell and all I think is Im dead, my sight quickly recovers and my heart rate increases but I dont feel the lack of air

They don’t state how she was treated at all…a real letdown.

So, are you trying to say I’m overweight?

i think i have sleep apnea and now im terrified

I got hit hard at 82!

Everybody snores

I used Weedborn CBD products and healed without any problems.

Please see Revelation 14:12 & 18:23,Run away from the PCR test

I'm afraid to find out ....so I just don't go.

great video
