Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 , Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is sleep apnea? Is that like having a seizure during your sleep?

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 > >, > >Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is sleep apnea? Is that like >having a seizure during your sleep? > >Lamar > well, it depends on the kind of apnea you have... if you have the obstructive kind, it's my understanding that you snore *very* loudly while asleep.. and this kind of apnea can be cured (i think) by some minor surgery to remove the flap of skin that is getting in the way of your breathing... the kind of apnea i have, seems to be at the mercy of my central nervous system... certain drugs seem to make it worse: i.e. valium and co. i've noticed that while i'm falling asleep, there are times that even while i'm still awake, i'll find myself having to *remember* to breathe, and i'll find myself breathing slower and slower... sometimes, i'll wake up in the middle of the night gasping for my breath, as if i'd been holding it for a long time... and my boyfriend has woken me from my sleep because i'm gasping and choking while asleep.... i've noticed a correlation between my eating a lot of dairy (or too much dairy near to bed-time) and my having an apnea attack... also, it's very common for me to have several nights of apnea before i have a grand mal.. and also, the apnea and the grand mal are often coinciding with the onset of my menses... however, i haven't had a menstrual period since late december... i'm 29, so i'd *like* to think this isn't menopause ;-) i *have* been having the apnea and grand mals (about 2-3 attacks a month)... jules _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
