They woke me up and suggested i try out the cpap unit and within minutes i fell asleep for the rest of the night, oxygen levels were at 97% after that. So with half a nights sleep i woke up and felt totally recharged.. which is something i haven't felt in a long time.

So getting my machine prescribed to me this week.


oh and for the record i'm not fat. i've had this condition for years, even when i was a marathon runner so weight loss only helps a small % if you have a major blockage. There is a good chance that this is going to disappear my blood pressure problem and my energy levels should go through the roof. I'm just posting this to help encourage others to get on top of this problem if they do have it, sooner rather than later anyway ;)
