[QUOTE="upserslady, post: 183506, member: 9550"] Just had to chime in as a long time lurker. My husband is a driver of 23 years and I noticed he would stop breathing out of is nose and mouth at night. His chest would rise and fall but his throaght would close. I begged for nine months for him to get it checked out. Sleep apnea is very dangerous if left un treated. He failed the test big time ( enough for the doctor who performed the test called me at work and said to get him back that afternoon for a bi-pap machine) He had a severe case of sleep apnea. I only knew this because my first husband did this as well as snore. I woke up freezing and asked him to turn the air up and he was out of it. His skin was cold and wet feeling and when I turned on the light he was blue. EMT's told me he would probably not make it to the ER. After 6 days in ICU he was put on the same as my current hubby. He refused to wear it (it is different but you get used to it and feel much better) and 6 months later died at the age of 34 due to an enlarged heart. Autopsy findings were that SA was to blame for the enlarged heart. It does kill people. My husband now thanks me every night when putting his mask on. He can testify it has added years already. Although I will say that the doctor did say overweight people tend to have it but many that are underweight have it also. Take care of yourself. You might not wake yourself up and if I had not witnessed my first hubby about die the first time I would have never known for sure that my new hubby had sleep apnea. One more note.
