Safe Sleep Tips to Prevent Stroke

sleeping on side

I have this problem, often waking

at night, gasping for breath, coughing almost unable to catch my breath. This is a warning sign. Consult with your doctor. Pay attention. You heard of SIDS, well this is SADS. And your loved ones will truly be SAD if you don't attend to it NOW!

I have sleep apnea and I thought

it was alright to sleep on your back. I HAVE A BIPAP AND THE AIR DOESNOT ESCAPE AS MUCH ON YOUR BACK, SO i THOUGHT IT WAS ALRIGHT.

reminder to keep head elevated

and the fact that there would be a distinction between a heavy snorer and one not so bad.

I HAVE SLEEP APNEA AND IT'S TERRIBLE.

I AM CONSTANTLY TIRED AND RARELY HAVE ENERGY TO PERFORM EVEN THE MOST SIMPLE DAILY TASKS. I HAVE STARTED USING A C-PAP MACHINE AND IT SEEMS TO HELP,ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T BEEN USING IT VERY LONG. I WAS TOLD THAT AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF USING IT,I WILL BE ABLE TO TELL A TOTAL DIFFERENCE. I CAN HARDLY WAIT. SLEEP APNEA CAN CAUSE SO MANY PROBLEMS, LIKE DEPRESSION,FORGETFULNESS,ANXIETY AND IRRITABILITY TO NAME A FEW. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T DIE IN MY SLEEP,ALREADY!! THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND NOTHING TO PLAY WITH. IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE SLEEP APNEA OR HAVE ANY OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED, YOU SHOULD AT LEAST BE TESTED. IT CAN'T HURT AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE,BUT SLEEP!! THAT'S ENOUGH! I'M SO GLAD THAT I WAS TESTED. I HOPE ANYONE WHO EVEN THINKS THEY HAVE IT WILL BE TESTED A.S.A.P. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU!
