As title really.Ive had it a handful of times over the past 3 months but last night was proper nasty!
Just as im falling asleep i seem to stop breathing and wake up with a jolt gasping for air and the old hearts going like the clappers!
Scared the crap out of me if im honest as it must have happened 20 times or more,to such a point i didnt want to even attempt to go to sleep,as such i never got any shut eye till 4:30am this morning.
After a bit of googling it seems it might be sleep apnea.Im not one for going to the doctors EVER but it bothered me that much i rang up but cant get an appointment until 11:00am wednesday.
So in the meantime,any tips to stop me dying lots tonight? :grin:

I used to get that a lot after a heavy "recreational" weekend many many years ago but this is very different to that.
Thanks for the input though. :cool:
-
I get this every time I sleep on my back.
Try sleeping in the recovery position tonight.
-
Cheers Jack,i only tend to sleep in the recovery or foetal position thought.I cant sleep on my back as sometimes the missus flings her arm round and cracks me in the snot box by accident!(b!tch) :grin:
-
Do you sleep with your chin to your chest or looking up?
-
Chin(s) on chest i would say mate.
-
Yeah, that usually constricts your airways. Could always try looking up. It actually works while you're awake too if you want to check the difference.
Keep an eye on the missus too... She sounds like she's trying to kill you in your sleep.
-
I will have a go looking up tonight cheers mate.
Yeah i actually think it may be her shoving a sock in my mouth and then taking out quickly when i stir! :grin:
Ive seen some people have to wear them gimp mask things which i refuse to do.I will knock my own up using my compressor and a dust mask i reckon. :cool:
-
Sounds like heart palpitations...... I used to get the exact same thing.
If I was really over tied and not been looking after myself, this is when it would occur most. Like your good self it was always just as I was falling off to sleep.
In my 20's in the days of going clubbing to the early hours I would get this quite a lot in the week when it all catches up on you.
Don’t drink or cut right down on coffee. I’ve switched to girlie green tea’s.
It does scare the crap out of you. I used to jump out of bed and beat my heart like it was going to stop or something.
-
Ah cheers for that i will take it on board.
Its very rare i drink nowadays as i work the weekend shift but i had last weekend off for a car show and my 31st.I immediatley went into beer monster mode and drunk like i used to but im guessing my body isnt used to that and it could have been a shock to the system.
I remember the tuesday/wednesday wake ups after a weekend of clubbing/djing/doing naughty things and that use to scare the crap out of me,proper paralyse head stuck to the pillow stuff.
But this seems very different.Problem is because im all too aware of it now i find myself listening to my breathing pattern to see if im gunna snuff it or not ha ha.
I dont get ill/sick etc so this is annoying.Its a sign of being old and smelling of wee :(
-
The smelling of wee part may be down to you pissing the bed, hence why the missus smacks you in the face.
I'm suprised you haven't already got a gimp mask lurking around..
I'm not going to provide anything insightful, just going to take the piss.. :kiss:

Thats all ive come to expect from you mate,i wouldnt want/expect anything less. :grin:
-
Are you overweight? Do you have OSA?
Unlikely to snuff it as the primal reflexes kick in to keep you alive.

Yeah I'm a bit of a porker now lol 5'11" and 15st.
Not sure what osa is though?
-
Obstructive sleep apnoea. Look it up and see if any of the symptoms fit.
-
Had sleep apnoea for most of my adult life but only found out about it about 10 years ago.
best thing you can do is tell your missus to play with yer balls! Apparently that works!

yeah that sounds just like what i have mate.Well i have the docs on wednesday so i will give it till then.Will lose a stone and a half in the next 2 months(i seem to be able to do it real easy)Will wrap up smoking too if it helps me not have one of them machines lol.
Len,i put the ball tickling to our lass but she said theres no way shes tickling my balls every night and suggested that as it was your idea then your welcome to the job. :grin:
I think i may be able to pass on that one though :grin:
-
my brother has this, but his heart actually stops too :shocked:
He's passed out a few times now, worst was on the road which he fractured his cheekbone and generally smashed his face up. He's being treated for some sort of heart problem which intermittently doesn't allow enough blood supply to his brain... not wanting to worry you or anything lol
-
Too late you've already worries me lol
Im concerned this could be something I would have to tell the dvla if diagnosed with something?
-
My cousin is suffering from this,his missus is a nurse,she
pinched borrowed some equipment from work to monitor his sleeping,he never sleeps for more than an hour and he has stopped breathing for more than a minute before waking which is very bad,i hope it gets sorted quickly.

Nah its very common mate and as long as you dont fall asleep at the wheel you'll be fine! :rolleyes: :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
Well ive found if it happens once,i get wound up and then i can actually feel my throat tighten up.Then the missus pulls some voodoo asthma thing on me rubbing my back and within 10 mins im asleep and dont wake up again till i need to get up,so it seems i make it worse by getting annoyed with it.
I will wait and see what the doc says.Had a fook off pizza last night as a last decent meal and will be going on operation faboy diet as of this morning.
Currently nibbling a bowl of alpen.Think id rather chew a sofa cushion tbh! :grin:

Good luck at the doctors mate. Get him to check your prostate too.. don't worry it's normal for him to have both his hands on your shoulders whilst examining you.

Well i went to the quacks.1st time in years.The only thing i learned from my visit is that the receptionist is damn fine!
He said my weight isnt too much of a problem but lose some anyway.He said stopping smoking will help so i will crack on with that.
Blood pressure normal,oxygen in the blood fine,i blew on his puffy thing and got a 650 which is good apparently.
He said try some anti biotics incase i have a chest infection.
I now remember why i dont bother with doctors! :rolleyes:

That for the non educated Doctors means he spilled 650 million sperms into your mouth. Have a good sleep tonight!

I gave you that one,it was too easy so doesnt count :drool: :grin:
-
Could still be OSA. You don't have to be morbidly obese. Go and look up the Epworth scale and score yourself. If it's above 10 I think then it's a possibility. Normal sats and peak flow can still be seen in OSA (I think).
-
I got a 0 on the Epworth scale Stealth.I can run on 4-5 hours sleep,always have so im never tired in the day.
I dont know what SATS is. :embarassed:

Means unlikely (but not impossible) to be OSA. More reassuring IMO.

Well as it happens i had a good nights sleep and didnt die or anything.I think it may have been the stress of starting her car up for the 1st time after having fitted new pistons,crank,head,guides etc.
Anyway it struck up 1st kick and i had a good nights sleep.RESULT! :grin:

Brave of you to bring up this topic dude.
I've experienced this loads of times, it usually happens when ive had one too many to smoke. Low blood pressure and low blood sugar lol....I guess it's why you dive in the fridge :shocked:
-
I would wholly accept it if i was smoking weed or munching disco biscuits but them days are a decade away. :grin:

Well anyways, it's all good, the best thing to remember is that, don't let yourself freak out and go into shock. Focus on your breathing and within moments it will pass.
