How did treatment change how you feel?

Post by Heart Jumping » Wed Jul 29, 2015 1:04 am

While I don't have an official diagnosis yet, based on what I know so far I'm convinced I'm going to be diagnosed with apnea.

How did your treatment make you feel? Did you notice any changes? if so, what?

Thanks!

I've only been on therapy a week, but immediately I notice that I'm sleeping longer (8 plus hours a night). My energy levels are off the charts, and I'm not napping anymore. I work online and I'm able to stay awake and work where before 10 minutes into work I would be falling asleep. My moods are better too. I have severe sleep apnea and I think my body has been deprived for so long it is really enjoying me breathing at night!

Thanks, very helpful, I figured there were other threads but my initial search didn't give me any relevant hits. I also just found this master pinned thread on the issue.
