How does sleep apnea effect you?
Hello! I'm a 26y Female, who is overweight. I believe I have sleep apnea, and I want to ask my doctor to send me for a sleep study. I wake up often in the night, and feel like I need to take a deep breath. (Sometimes my lungs hurt for a few moments) I have morning headaches often, and I don't feel rested no matter how long I sleep. I have debilitating daily fatigue, sleepiness, and lightheadeness, can this be sleep apnea? Would it really effect my day this way? I feel like crap all the time. Did you get better? Thanks!
That absolutely sounds like sleep apnea, and I would definitely approach your gp about a referral for a sleep study.
