Subject: Sleep/breathing problems
Hi
I have just rejoined the group after an
absence of a few weeks.
Can someone please help me with a question I
have?
Can PWP's get problems like sleep apnea or is
this only MSA?
To be specific, I am starting to find that when trying to
get to sleep. or drifting in and out of sleep in the morning, especially when
on my back, I start to suffocate, and 'wake up'. I even get this feeling
sometimes when sitting up, e.g. when on aeroplane, and start to drift off to
sleep. I can feel something odd all the time on the right-hand side of my
throat, as if full of phlegm, or collapsed. I keep hoping it's the result of a
mild cold but it won't go.
I get full apnea, or at least glottal snoring, after a few
alcoholic drinks. This has been the case for a year or so now. Is this
dangerous?
Hope someone can help.

HI CHARLES sleep apnea is when you quit breathing and
need to take oxygen you need to lift your head high some times higher
than you feet. or turn you head on the side to let stuff leave your mouth.
been there done it. see your doc. I.Y.Q.
