Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Solomon Grundy: How can I avoid falling asleep in a public transportation?
I am diagnosed having sleep apnea and still undergoing treatment. I have to take public transport daily for the 62 mile trip to work (or 90 minutes travel time). As the bus or train leaves the station at 5am, most passengers take time to sleep during the trip. With my loud snoring should I suddenly fall asleep, people get mad and I get so embarrased. Listening to music and watching DVD movies through my portable players can’t keep me away from falling asleep too.

Question by MikhailRandt: Strange sensations falling asleep?
I’m wondering if anyone can shed some light on a strange disturbance I’ve been experiencing when going to sleep. When I first go to bed and lying there while awake after 5 or 10 mins I sometimes get a strange jolt sensation in my chest area. It appears to last only 1-3 seconds in duration resulting at times with my head jerking up off my pillow. Sometimes a sensation similar to apnea or anaphylactic yet I am not asleep. In only a few seconds it has passed and I appear to be fine with normal breathing. Some nights it happens only once or twice, some nights multiple times . At times it happens so fast it’s difficult to articulate what it was. Once asleep I’ve experienced no difficulties with no recollection of ever being awoken by anything. Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas what it might be? I’d greatly appreciate any insight. Thanks

This happens to me a lot, and it is scary! I’ve went to the doctor and had many tests run because I’ve been sick- some of which included an echocardiogram and an ekg, and my heart is healthy. (I’m 18.) So it may not be something wrong with your heart.

My doctor told me that mine is probably caused from anxiety. She said you can have anxiety and not even realize it because you incorporate the stress youhave and the day feels normal. She told me that the feelings in my chest at night are probably caused from being relaxed and that pent up stress being relieved.

Hope it helps. If not, go get a check up! =]

What do you think? Answer below!

I have sleep apnea (diagnosed in a sleep study). When I go to bed, I can fall asleep very quickly, but then I wake up. And after I wake up, then I can’t fall asleep again for a long time.

Does anyone else have this same problem? I can fall asleep very easily initially. But after I wake up again, then I have so much trouble sleeping.

I seem to slip into dreaming before I sleep and this causes a sudden sense of panic, anxiety, difficulty breathing or feeling of abnormal breathing. It also causes constant and repeated, and I must stress constant and repeated, sleep paralysis. I go into sleep paralysis and it takes me about 10-20 seconds to break out of it. It happens over and over and over in one night and it is incredibly frightening. I take medicine for anxiety disorder and I don’t think it does much, I don’t even know if it’s really anxiety disorder, but I guess it must be since i’m constantly terrified. But I digress. Does this sound like a sleep disorder anyone has heard of. I also feel like I have hypersomnia. I will sleep for 10-15 hours if undisturbed and feel awful all day. I’m constantly tired and feel like I am underwater, or in a dream, or lacking a sense of gravity, or a combination of all these things. It’s terrible. I don’t know where I’m going with this. Somebody help me please somebody help me please please or tell me where I can get help. I think about the idea of suicide to get rid of these awful sensations but don’t worry I’d never do it i’m too scared of death. It just makes me so sad that I would even think about such a thing. I’ve seen therapists and psychiatrists, who knows how much they have helped. Don’t give me any religious bullshit, please.
