Do I have sleep apnea based on these symptoms?
Posted by: Alan in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, tags: Apnea., based, Sleep, Symptoms, These
Sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air. Other times I will be lying in bed and have trouble breathing through my nose which will create pressure in my head. Also sometimes a part of my body will twitch usually my legs, The only thing that helps is if i sit up or stand up but when I lay down these symptoms will occur.
I am 6 ft. 135 lbs. If anything I am underweight.

It’s possible. Any kind of respiratory distress definitely something to check out with your doctor. They can order a sleep study. People can die from sleep apnea. But if dxed, a CPAP or BIPAP will fix you right up.
Some symptoms for sleep apnea:
Daytime sleepiness
snoring more than 3 nights per week
snoring loudly
witnessed periods of no breath sounds or breathing
male neck size over 18, female neck size over 16
obesity
high blood pressure
Good luck and God bless
