Ever wonder what sleep apnea really looks like? Well, for most people who don’t get the proper restful slumber, it is only normal for them not to want to see what they look like when they are suffering from this sleeping disorder.
Sleep apnea is not a pretty sight. Most of the time, people may find themselves regretting seeing what they actually look like. Nevertheless, the best way to educate and alarm people on how they look like in such a state may be a sign for them to try and seek professional help to treat the sleep illness that beseeches them unknowingly.

That was scary. I am going through this problem at the moment and went to the gp today who has referred me for a E.N.& T check up. I hope this works. I do more or less the same as the video. Its scary because I wake up gasping for air. Please get in touch if there is anyone that can advice me.

I have had this for 11 years, I am not overweight or have any other known issues. I started using a CPAP, it took a while to get used to using it, it makes a significant difference. I was completely healthy before this started, the sooner you take care of it the better your chances are of not getting into other health issues.
With it I can get 5 to 7 hours of sleep per night. Without it I sleep for 10-15 minutes at a time and then awaken when I can not breathe. It can be hereditary, my mother died from it. If you do not take care of it, it can cause all sorts of additional health issues. Go to a sleep specialist and get tested, and use the CPAP if they recommend that you use one.
I will never like it, however, it makes the difference between being able to function and work or not being able to do anything. Without it my memory is non existant, I have vague pains all over my body. Also if you do not treat it eventually depression is most likely to set in just making it worse.
The CPAP can really make a difference, there is also surgery, I would save that as an absolute last resort.
Good Luck, I know how you feel.
