Re: Poll Re: Apnea and Your Weight

You want to know our weight and you can't even figure out your gender. Did you marry a Kardashian too. Jim I didn't answer, you didn't have enough options, and I hate polls, and especially useless ones. I'm sorry I didn't include enough options for you, I'm planning on doing another poll on mental ...

Poll Re: Apnea and Your Weight

I've read that there is often a correlation between being overweight and suffering from apnea. I know that anyone can have apnea and that it is not caused by being overweight, but there is a correlation. I'd like to do an informal poll here to see how many here are overweight.

Re: Waking Up w/ Heart Leaping - Newbie Needs Info!

No. Apnea is cessation of breathing, not heart leaping. Thanks, and I don't in any way mean to discount your answer, but I was wondering whether the affects of that cessation might in turn result in the symptom I'm experiencing. Not for everyone, but perhaps for some? Well, it sounds like you are g...
