Percy Harvin's migraine problems may be over.

Post by asleep@thewheel » Sat Sep 11, 2010 5:51 am

According to a report by NBCSports.com, Harvin says doctors diagnosed and treated Harvin for sleep apnea after his hospital stay following a scary incident at a Minnesota Vikings practice in August.

Harvin said doctors believe sleep apnea was responsible for the headaches that caused Harvin to lose consciousness and leave the August practice in an ambulance.

Harvin said four days after his hospital visit doctors gave him an overnight sleep test. According to Harvin, his heart stopped beating eight times during the test for up to 10 seconds at a time. Harvin said doctors suspected the wideout wasn't getting enough oxygen while sleeping. Sleep apnea causes gaps in a person's breathing during sleep.

Harvin said he uses a device that pumps air into his nose to regulate his breathing while he is sleeping in order to treat the disorder. He told NBCSports.com that he no longer takes his migraine medication, which he blames for his August collapse.
