Sleep Apnea?
by TrueBlue760, Oct 06, 2008 02:34AM
I have always had a problem with snoring. The snoring has become worse since becoming an adult. My mother commented to me about 3 years ago that I snore real loud, even louder than my father ! I am 37yrs old (YOB 1971) I am overweight(obese) 116kg, 171cm tall. I am female. I am constantly tired during the day.I will usually fall asleep on the lounge in the afternoon, I will usually sleep for about 15 mins, and sometimes up to 1 hr( I usually feel refreshed after the 15 min power nap). Recently I have started gasping for air during the day and sometimes even snorting as if I need to take a very quick breath.Could this all be due to sleep apnea? My upper abdomen is quite often bloated( as if I am pregnant) When I press on it it feels firm and as if there is a balloon under my skin, what could be causing this? A tumor? Fat?
