Sometimes when I’m falling asleep I forget to breathe. I know this because some part of my body jerks and I wake up feeling light headed and as if I hadn’t breathed for too long a time. Usually I can just roll over and force myself to think of random stuff to get my mind off of it and the problem goes away. However, it occasionally does not go away and I have to occupy myself with something for a while until I try to sleep again. Is this central sleep apnea and could this be caused (at least in part) by some sort of anxiety disorder?

I feel when I dream for a long time I wake up feeling heavy and weak with a weak pulse but not like I have to breath rapidly but feel abit winded and well I’m not overweight.. completely lack the double chin they say a normal sleep apnea person usually has(or any slack inside or ourside your neck) I’ve had the sleep test waited 7 months. they said nothing happened, but they hooked me up with so many probes that I couldn’t possibly sleep deeply enough and it took me many hours to even get close to sleeping. had no dreams and woke up feeling really refreshed oddly more than normal.like all those stupid discomfort causing things attached to me caused a light sleep so that my sleep problem never occurred. ironically during the test to find out if I had it or not ugh. so noow I either have to reinroll into a test that doesn’t have the p roper environment to cause it or I keep suffering(its not every night but when I enter dream sleep) or sleep for more than 2 hours in darkness.
—>anyone know about central or other types of sleep apnea that don’t involve obstruction? <--------
or if you have another idea what could be obstructing it(I sleep on my back most times) but on my side lately so I haven't been suffering from it as much. (ps I don't have asthma)

im on cpap. doesnt work. cant get enough pressure to go thru my nose. only my mouth. i sleep using my nose only. sleep study says negative for obstructive sa. do i have central. what can i do. doc is no help.

I have Sleep Apnea (both obstructive and central -700-900 episodes a nite) 02/09. I use both an oxygenation(4.0) and bipap machine. 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes (taking Metformin 500mg 4 a day). I’m testing my glucose level several times a day to establish a pattern. I’m watching my diet, but my readings are all over the place, anywhere from 178 to HIGH (over 499). understandable since I am testing frequently; after waking, eating, before/after naps, before sleeping,etc. I use the ‘testing solution” occassionally to make sure I’m doing it correctly and to insure the strips and lancets are still OK. I should mention I also have very low testost (Androgel), chronic pain (arthritis & back pain (Oxycontin) acid reflux (Omeprazole) enlarged prostate (terazosin) severe (Suprise!) depression (Fluoxetine)ADHD (Adderall) to top it off – possible contact w/ “Agent Orange” insurance & VA BAD! HELP!!
I’m sorry – the above is soooo long – and now I’m adding to it! LOL – I forgot to mention, I’m a 61 year old male, 5’9″ and weigh 158 – so I’m not over weight.

Thanks for any help you are able to offer
