Frustration is the only word I can describe how I am feeling!!! I have always had some trouble sleeping.. but usually it had to do with an uncomfortable bed. I can deal with an uncomfortable bed no problem I just put another comforted on top of the sheet to make it softer and that will usually work. It hasn't been that simple. When I a try to sleep I wake up several times gasping for air, I feel like I am dying. What makes it worse is I have a fear of drowning or being smothered so it has been traumatic. It started a month or so ago, but it only happened while i fell asleep in my dads recliner. I stopped sleeping there. Soon after I stopped smoking and using the e-cig I figured that would help..Wrong !!! For 5 days or so I can't even sleep in my own bed with out gasping for air. Yesterday morning at 6 am all I could do is cry it was ssso bad. I just figured I would give up sleeping all together. I got the bright idea to use Vick Vapor Rub in and around my nose it helped I didn't wake up as much.
I am a huge self diagnoser I know its not good to do that.. I know it has to be Sleep Apnea I just don't wanna admit it. I have came up with Asthma, its my adenoids or I am just sick which I'm not the least bit sick. I need to go to the doctor just have no insurance and if I lose weight that will help too. The weight I lost I seemed to find since I stopped smoking.. dunno why I have Nicotine in the e cigarette . But I am learning what all this weight is doing with my health and hopefully this is my wake up call!
