Sleep Apnea Support Group
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. People with sleep apnea partially awaken as they struggle to breathe, but in the morning they may not be aware of sleep disturbances.
Husband has been diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea, and is in denial.
Says the test is wrong,
But I am the one that hears him snore and hears him strain for air.
He says "I don't stop breathing, I woke up didn't I"
i try to explain it mean he stop breathing for a min or so, but he refuses to do anything about it.
I believe he will be one of those who will not use the CPAP machine, it has been ordered.
He has gained 60 pounds since he medical retired due to his cervical pain. I try to tell he is eating the wrong things and sits in the chair too much, not enough exercise. But he gets mad at me and clams up.
I have COPD and on night time O2. Boy he snaps at me if my nasal canal falls off, and I am not sleeping with my oxygen.
I need advise Please
Sue
Get a cheap recorder, or better yet, film him somehow at night.
If your sleeping in the same room or close, I feel sorry for you.
He sounds a bit narcissistic. You need to show him how bad he is at night.
A friend of mine found out her 18 year old grandson stops breathing in average of, 80 times an hour.
I stop in ave. Of 56 times per hour.
He needs to see or hear himself and what its like.
Btw he is not narcissistic, he has empathy and consideration for others.
I was waiting to tape him until we get the equipment
