To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download My Life Change…. Well Im a male and 20 years old for about 2 years I suffered from obstructive sleep apnea without ever hearing about they disorder. I was always sleepy all the time. I would get into these sleepy trances where my eyes just seem to close. When in coversation with someone my eyes would just start to shut. It was embarrasing. I would start falling asleep while driving, eating, and having conversations. After going to a doctor I learned about it. I went to a sleep study and was diagnoised with obstructive sleep apnea. I now have a CPAP and it has changed my life for the better. It was 100% what I needed. My daytime sleepiness is gone, and I can sleep for hours without getting up. In an 8 hour period i would probably wake up 4 or 5 times in a night now i dont even wake up once. My life feels so good now. If you feel you have the symptoms do it as soon as possible. Comments
