My name is Marjorie. I have severe sleep apnea. I have had it since i was a young woman. I chose to ignore it, then at the age of 63 I begin to go catatose watching a commerical. In this state I knew I was fighting to get my breath and could not. I would try to turn over ,but I couldn't because I seemed paralized. Finally I ended up in ER had to put a pacemaker in. I feel much better on the machine,but it is a battle I just got to the point i could sleep on it and i still stop breathing and my DR. wants to bump it up.I now learn its connected to hearing loss. Wow i just got fitted for hearing aids. I just wished i could get it together and sleep
