I think I might have Obstructive Sleep Apnea

[molthemackem]

Snort-snoring waking me up gasping for air loads of times during the night. It's now starting to give me panic attacks and anxiety over nodding off and suffocating ffs. Totally stupid I know, but unfortunately mind over matter isn't working.
Feels like I have a ball of phlegm stuck behind me adam's apple too.

Ironically, Only time I can sleep is when I'm half cut or take sleeping tablets.

Gonna have to make a Dr's appointment now like. Just wondered if anyone else has it?

Pm me first

Probably OSA with symptoms of excessive sleepiness.

If people drive for a living I recommend asking for the fast track treatment from the sleep clinic.

Sounds just like me. I'll give it a try thanks.
