re: Sleep Apnea...Have anyone of you had this?

pushes fresh air into your lungs at all times so if your palette relaxes and tightens your breathing passage (aka snoring) it floods the passage with oxygen preventing the snore.
For apnea if you stop breathing it pushes the same amount of air into your lungs and notes the event.
Basically the best sleep of your life and you won't wake up with a sore throat from having snored like a wild banshee for 8 hours.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is caused by the narrowing of the airway during deep stages of sleep. Snoring is the result of a pushing air thru a very narrowed airway, and why snoring is indicator of sleep apnea. A person with untreated OSA will usually snore, but the scary part is when they stop. Now the airway is completely closed and the person is not breathing. CPAP pressurizes the airway to keep it patent and unable to narrow or collapse. Really has nothing to do with oxygen or the lungs.
Central sleep apnea is a neurological condition where the brain does not sent signals to the diaphragm, resulting in a stoppage of breathing. It is not known why, but bipap therapy can correct this, CPAP is very infective in treating CSA. In fact, and again it is not really know why, but if you give a person too much pressure from CPAP, you can trigger CSA events.
A person can have one or the other, and even a combination of both.

I've been using one for several months now. Dropped my blood pressure 25 points and my heart rate from 90 to 65-75. Some days I even hit 102/65. Used to run mid 140s/90

I’ve snored like crazy so I got the sleep study done and got a machine. Wife says I don’t snore anymore, but I can’t tell a difference. Really hard for me to get used to. Have had it a couple months and I still tear it off my face some nights

What machine do you have? I have the ResMed and there is a setting called Pressure Relief:
“The ResMed AirSense 10 has built-in sensors that detect a patient’s breathing. As an individual exhales, the CPAP machine responds by reducing the air pressure delivered by a specific amount. When an inhale is detected again, the machine raises the pressure back to the prescribed setting. This is known as EPR, or expiratory pressure relief.”
I have this set to max, and it made all the difference in tolerability. I now sleep like a baby; no more ripping off the mask in the middle of the night.

Why don’t you take just a minute to research the data that there are a lot of non-overweight people with sleep apnea, instead of just making a rude uninformed comment

This is misleading. It's still far more prevalent in obese people
Link to your proof? It's not a matter of being overweight but the way your airways are situated. I was diagnosed and was not overweight, and know of many others that are not overweight with this condition. I also know many overweight people that do not have this condition. There is not a 1:1 correlation, so quit being a dumb frick.

The cause is over-relaxation of muscles at the back of throat.

About 70% of adult OSA patients have obesity, and the higher the BMI, the greater the prevalence. The prevalence of sleep apnea is also significant in the pediatric population. Children with obesity have a 46% increased risk of OSA compared to their normal-weight peers.

Look dude, sorry you have sleep apnea, that sucks. But that doesn't give you license to be an idiot, being obese puts you in a way more high risk category for all types of shite including sleep apnea.
Take your own advice and

The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea is 2 to 9% in adults; the condition is under-recognized and often undiagnosed even in symptomatic patients. [Obstructive sleep apnea is up to 4 times more common among men and 7 times more common among people who are obese (ie, body mass index [BMI] > 30). Severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] > 30/hour) increases the risk of death in middle-aged men.

For those that got the machine, how did you know you need it? I know I snore pretty often, but feel like I sleep pretty well.

My wife said I would stop breathing in my sleep. Mentioned it to my doctor during the yearly check up, and he suggested getting a sleep study.
Got the sleep study, stopped breathing 32 times/hr and oxygen levels dropped to 80%, got the machine.
If you snore and sleep all night, but still have trouble getting going during the day, it’s worth looking into.

yall all get mad becasue he points out yall are over weight. Dunno why every thread that anything remotely to do with weight turns into
-Poster- Im not Fat, Im 5'8 210lbs and use to play football and lifted in high school. Any health problems I have....well they have nothing to do with my weight.
-Mingo- bro your BMI is over 30, you are obese and need to lose 30lbs minimum and prolly closer to 40lbs.
poster- BMI is bullshite, I would look like a concentration camp victim if i weighed that, usually followed by...i mean thats what i weighed in HS.
- Mingo- post picture of a guy the same height and ideal weight and says: yea in high school when you were actually in shape.
-poster- frick you mingo, you short frick.I would beat your arse. I need to lose 10lbs max.
then literally 2 pages of other fat posters telling mingo he is full of shite, a dumb frick, a short frick, a pussy. Then 5-8 more pages of mainly people bashing the BMI and saying it doesnt apply to modern times with a few people like myself explaining how that is not true.
then every thread for 3 to 4 days after that mingo post in....posters are saying just ignore him, he is a stupid frick, just like you did.
Answer though, why is Mingo a stupid frick because hepoints out most on here are 30lbs overweight and that is the real fat acceptance problem? Because he is shorter than most? because he is skinny? because he is strong for his weight?
i havent figured out what Mingo has done to be a stupid frick that annoys everyone other than usually being the first to tell people that their health problems are caused by being fat/
maybe i missed it and he really is an annoying stupid frick, but i havent seen it.

Do you start by going to see your primary care doctor or can you do the virtual doctor / at home test online website??
