A couple of years ago I thought I had sleep apnea. What is that? It's associated with snoring, which I do. Some people who snore badly block their airways for a few seconds before breatheing again. Through the night this leads to oxygen deprivation and this disturbs the person's sleep. This is very serious as it can lead to drowsiness in the day time, which is life threatening if you are driving or using machinery. Obviously this needs to be dealt with. However the minute a consultant suspects you have it, whether you actually do or not, you have your driving license taken away. This is a great inconvenience if you do not have the complaint, but very necessary if you do. Once you receive treatment you are able to drive again. If you suspect you may have this problem you can buy an oximeter which fits on your finger and monitors your oxygen levels through the night. This proves one way or the other whether you have sleep apnea(or apnoea, if you are British). If you want to get hold of an oximeter quickly without having to search the internet you can find one on my page below. It is worth it to put your mind at rest. Are you just a common or garden snorer or do you have a serious problem with sleep apnea. Find out more on the page below.
