Symptoms

Post by Kristy5550 » Thu Sep 30, 2004 2:39 pm

I read others asking for symptoms of sleep apnea.
I am a lupus patient so I attributed my severe fatigue to that.
The symptom that got me to a sleep test was the shortness of breath I started having. I would lay on the bed and have to quickly sit up to be able to breath.
I also have asthma and am on O2 around the clock.
The O2 I was not on at the beginning of my journey with severe sleep apnea.
I guess what I am trying to say is, if you think something is not right , get it checked out. Sleep apnea can cause SEVERE problems.
Good luck everyone.
Sweet dreams,
Kris :-)
