Have you recorded yourself during sleep yet? Or, did a partner observe snoring?

Yes. My wife has heard me snoring VERY loudly and sometimes a loud snort.

I have a sleep apnea consult in two weeks. If you are anxious to get going and flexible in your schedule, ask them to put you on a cancellation list. Not too anxious about it. Unfortunately I'm not too flexible with my work schedule. I have lots of other Dr appointments coming up too so I have to t...

Had my appointment with the pulmonologist today. Spirometry test was normal but he wants me to do additional tests just in case. I have a sleep apnea consult in two weeks.

I'm vaping more now because I quit cigarettes. Do you think you can slowly taper down? I am going to try. Just very stressed right now with everything going on. I see the pulmonologist tomorrow to go over my CT and see why I have been getting short of breath. It's so hard to know when it's mental o...

No amount of eyeglasses have fix my vision and eye pain, I've spent thousands on glasses been to all kinds of eye doctors they all tell me ever...

Some of my other symptoms could be because of my panic and anxiety disorder. My money is on apnea being the cause of panic and anxiety disorder. Treatment can make a whale of an improvement. I had a CT scan and it said minimal emphysematous changes I would concentrate on "minimal". That should be g...

He didn't really have an explanation for some of my symptoms other than my anxiety and panic. What was his explanation? He thinks I might have apnea. Some of my other symptoms could be because of my panic and anxiety disorder. My blood tests are normal, EKG is normal, no abnormal heart or lung soun...

Went to my GP today. He put in a referral for a study. He didn't really have an explanation for some of my symptoms other than my anxiety and panic. Hopefully I will get some answers soon. I think I rather have the at home study.

I found this long list of symptoms particularly helpful, as it listed more things I was experiencing rather than the shorter list Chicago Granny posted - http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17326&p=147163&hilit=stiff%2C+sore+muscles+tight+muscles%2Fcharley+horses+in+calves#p147163 Thanks fo...

Ok, thanks

Hi again,

I have been having shortness of breath during the day but normal O2, when I breath it feels like my wind pipe and lungs are irritated. Also, it feels like my breathing muscles are tired and I feel spaced out and sleepy all day. Any input will help. Thanks

Do you have any other mental or physical heath issues? Do you take any medications of any kind...even OTC? If so what? Yes. I have panic and anxiety disorder, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and I am overweight. I weigh 250 and I'm 5’11” tall. I do take blood pressure medication, anti depress...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm seeing a pulmonologist next week for something unrelated and I'm going to ask about a sleep study. I have been real fatigued and weak feeling for the last few months. I get heart palpitations in the morning after I wake up at my usual time of 6am. I have been waking...

I understand people trying to deny it. I'm trying to just figure out why I have the symptoms I have that the doctors can't figure out. Not sure what you mean?? What symptoms do you have? I listed them I'm trying to just figure out why I have the symptoms I have that the doctors can't figure out. Th...
