Sleep apnoea is something we all should be aware of I had no idea that it was happening to me a few years ago. I knew I was stopping breathing because the severity of the gasping was waking me up but my mind wasn’t straight at the time, I was very very ill and having enough trouble getting through each day. An argument with repton (a member on here and now my fiance) resulted in me getting a blood test then panic stations as various autoimmune diseases came to light. Not only did the apnoea stop but I went from needing quite strong prescription glasses to barely having a prescription at all after my medication was sorted. I was driving when I was in that condition which is a terrifying thought.
Its with many thanks to a lot of friends on here that I now have a great quality of life but it could have been a very different story.
