I have just woken up massively choking for air.
Its 2am.
I didnt wear my Cpap tonight, i thought i would have a rest from it.
Well i really thought i was a goner.i wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy.

You know when you wake up but are choking and cant get your breath and you suddenyly realise its not working well thats how i felt until my wife belted me on the back.
She was going to ring an ambulance LOL, i guessed i scared her.

I really felt i was a goner.

My throat is burning i think i have that reflux too.
My wife blAmes it in the fact i ate just before going to bed.maybe ???

I dont know what it was, scary , very scary, some sort of choking attack ???
Was it a apnea type attack or something else?
Because i ate a big meal of steak etc directly before going to bed could thst have done it ? That was about 11pm so have slept pretty good for 3 hours , i temember dreaming before I woke up choking.

Has anyone else had a major choking gasping for air attack like this ?

Now im scared to go to bed, maybe have to put the Cpap mask back on !!!

Man tries commit suicide by not using needed Medical equipment that was provided to him far treatment. Then complains when he survives, and is worried about trying it again.

Posters here are unbelievable. Jim

I know i know,LOL but i really didnt feel like wearing it tonight .
You must have those nights where you really dint feel like having the mask on tonight and do without it.

It seems it will be a lesson to my laziness i guess.

no. no more than I have days where I decide to go driving without my glasses because I don't 'feel like' putting them on.

No, never been that lazy. I plan on doing whatever I can to wake up in my own bed, every morning. I may be found dead in it, but it won't be by my own hand. Jim

I also eat a cup of Chile every nite before bed @ 3 a.m. I've got to fuel up to sleep good, and level out the insulin.

Chilli ? At 3am ? Never tried that i must admit LOL.. You go to bed late?

Its actually 3am now , im still up sitting in the lounge room after my apnea /choking attack.

I will have to head bsck off to bed soon, just im afraid now.

25 years of 3rd shift, outside in the weather, and working in the dark, reset my clock, the good thing it repaired my night vision I burnt out in 66, gas welding without goggles, and a frostbit finger from too much Freon 12. 45 sec turned out to be 15 too much. Jim

Ya THINK???

Maybe you need to reevaluate WHY you're using the CPAP in the first place.
And......wear it every time you lay down to sleep.

This has happened to me on more than three occasions and I was not into cpap at that time. As you have rightly said, it is mainly because of reflux. Gas would get accumulated in the stomach and I used to jump out of bed gasping for air.i also noticed that I slept to my right side. After starting cpap therapy it's gone now.

OK, so you didn't wear your mask and you paid for it. Stop eating and going straight to bed since you know you have acid reflux. That stuff is enough to choke you in your sleep not to mention what it does to your esophagus. Wear your mask and take something for the reflux and you will be fine. I have GERD and have taken medicine for 15 years or longer. Before that I would wake up choking like you from acid, not fun....its your life, take care of it.

I too, use a generic prilosec when I eat my Chile at bedtime. You may also benefit from raising the head of the bed about 4 inches.in my defence sometimes I DON'T add the extra cayenne pepper that I usually do. I'm not always bad. Jim

Bad results from poor decisions.

If the OP's message was a word to the wise, so be it.
If it was a plea for sympathy and attention, nice try!
