have I got sleep apnea?

Post by millie92 » Sat Oct 04, 2014 3:05 pm

So I've always been a tired person...as in no matter how much I sleep, im tired...as a child my mother had me tested for anaemia ..then again at 17 I spoke to my doctor and had a blood test to see if I had a deficiency....nothing...now it's getting worse and it's really getting me down...I have a one year old and he wakes me up every morning ..and I can't get up...I lie there awake listening to him cry and I physically can't drag myself out of bed...I love my son im a good mother but I can't get up for at least half an hour ..it's impossible. Then two hours after he gets up he goes down for a nap and I have to too im just so tired...then the same thing happens again when he wakes up....im such a house proud person but I can't eep my house clean...I will sit on the sofa think 'right im going to scrub the house today' then I will just sit there staring into space..everything is such an effort...I don't know what to do.. I also snore 'like a chainsaw' apparently...does this sound like sleep apnea? Should I speak to my doctor? The strange thing is sometimes when I go to bed I can't get to sleep...my mind is working overtime but my body won't cooperate...im nearly 22...could I have sleep apnea? Or a different disorder? Im scared of going to my gp and they don't take me seriously...

Your computer seems to have a ECHO problem, you just posted this 14 minutes before. Jim

You got sound advice on theother post, you need to see a real doctor, as there could be different things wrong.
