Just found out I have sleep apnea
Hi Kelly,
I really believe you have nothing to worry about. For the last several years I have slept poorly and been so tired that I could barely stay awake for more than 8 hours. I was miserable and I really thought I was dying. Oddly enough I had severe chest pains and was hospitalized. It was there that they diagnosed me with sleep apnea. When they released me they gave me a cpap. I wont lie and say the mask was instantly comfortable but you will get to sleep. The amazing thing is that when I woke up the next day, I immidiately noticed a difference. I slept through the whole night and my family said I didnt snore at all (used to sound like a chainsaw). I can go and do physical things without feeling tired and can stay awake for more than 20 hours easy. Im not sure how you are with your condition but I feel I already have a new lease on life. Sorry for the ramble just thought I could comfort you a little.

Thanks. I have actually had my cpap for two weeks.. It's amazing the difference! I can't believe all the energy I have.. and I can stay awake past 8 pm. The mask sucks.. I usually pull it off at some point but the few hours of good sleep I am geting is making all the difference.
