Has anyone here experienced Sleep Apena before? I think I just had it.

Sleep apnea, and I know a few people who experience it. They use a device called a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine to ensure good breathing and better rest at night. If you think you have the condition, go to the doctor. They can do a sleep study on you to test for it.

Standalone occurrences can happen, but if it keeps happening get a sleep study done. Poor sleep has so many bad effects on a person both mentally and physically, not to mention shortens your life >_>

I've never experienced it, though my dad suffers from restless legs. I used to sleep talk a lot, but I've grown out of that. Have experienced sleep terrors a few times, but always as standalone occurrences.

Gah, restless legs is the bane of my existence. And I think I have some other nonspecific sleep evil thing that I keep intending to get tested.

Lusternia is in British English. Apnoea!

You may have had an episode of it, but if it happens chronically you need to be tested for a sleep study. If you have consistent apnea you may need to get a CPAP machine.

I've used CPAP since 2007. You get used to it. It help my fatigue I was getting over time.

The one thing I refused to consider is restless leg syndrome which a neurologist was worried about. The problem with the medication is that it actually says it can cause compulsive behavior like sex-addition, cross-dressing and gambling.

Can != will. You can always start using it and find out. Meds my dad are on work just fine, he only had to have the starter dose lowered after a while because he'd feel drowsy all day.

Just start shaving your legs, you never know how you'd look in a dress.

The reason why I ask is because I woke up last night choking. I couldn't breathe for at least 15 seconds and apparently I was unable to hear my mom next door. After I was done choking gasping for air I tried checking my pulse. I don't think my heart was beating fast but I was certainly dizzy from not being able to breathe and when I tried talking to my mom the second I noticed her my speech was so horrible ( I sounded like I was drunk). I tried walking and my mobility was bad as well, I don't even think to this morning that I had sleep apena last night. It seemed similar to it but I had felt like I was pumped with lots of Fluids and was about to drown. Honestly I don't think I would be here writing this now if I hadn't woken up and responded to the attack on my stomach which is weird because if I was choking my lungs was affected too. I do get acid-reflux regularly from drinking lots of pop which might be one of the factors, I think I may have lost some amount of oxygen as well which is why my motor skills where bad when I tried to talk or move. I recently took a class on medical terminology and these kinds of things in intrigue me and it's kinda funny actually I was trying to figure out what exactly happened and I'm still not 100 percent sure. ( I am fine now physically wise but any longer choking I think id of ended up dead last night). I also recall having a period of several weird dreams , not sure if you would call them night mares but they came out really creepy like.
