Need help i think i have sleep apnea.

I think i have sleep apnea bad, i fall asleep at work,at the wheel, dinner,clubs, everywhere. I have gained about 30 lbs, short term memory loss, very cranky,depressed, hurt all the time and on top of it all i have no insurance and keep running in to dead ends when it comes to help, i can pay for very little but dont mind paying no matter how long it takes. I have been told over the years i scare people when i sleep, but i had no idea, until some ladies i was taking a class with overnite at girl scout function told me i have sleep apnea and they were very scared and worried i needed help, well it was bad then , but now that i fall a sleep every where i know its a problem. iam worring everybody around but ive tried to get help if anybody knows anything else i can do i would greatly appricate it I'AM AT WITS END AND SCARED I KNOW IT VERY BAD.

I suggest that you call your local hospital to see if they can help you. I know in our labs we will take payments for the test. The issue you will run into is finding a provider to help you get your equipment. Talk to your physician. Your doc probably has access to the resources you need to get the problem taken care of. Dont give up. You can also contact the National Sleep Foundation www.sleepfoundation.org/ I'm sure they can help you as well. E.Frost, RRT isnsleep.com
