What causes sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is a common but potentially serious sleep disorder that affects an estimated 30 million people in the United States
People who have sleep apnea experience interruptions in breathing that can last 10 seconds or more and occur repeatedly throughout the night, as many as 30 times or more in the span of an hour. This disturbs healthy sleep and also reduces blood oxygen levels during sleep, both of which can contribute to significant health problems

@adventurousBranch3786 is the cpap machine helping him now he has it?
@Zariel0 Yes it does. Just like @Rebekahwriter13 said , he can not sleep without the Cpap.
@adventurousBranch3786 that’s wonderful it helps so much :)
@pamharley003
I did way more than 30 times per hour. . . It cause me to lose so much oxygen when I slept that my lips turned blue. It can be deadly. I cannot sleep without my cpap machine.
If you have trouble sleeping then you should defiantly get tested.
@Rebekahwriter13 i'm glad you have the cpap machine with that going on
@pamharley003 thanks for sharing this, i'm glad it isn't something i have but i know how hard it is for those who do
