Driving, waiting for wife at store, watching TV, conversation with friends, etc... Anytime I slow down. Wife is now embarrassed to be with me in public and doesn't feel safe while I drive.
I do have sleep-apnea, high blood pressure, about 50 pounds over weight.
Do you think that you have narcolepsy?
I have a friend who has narcolepsy. She can’t take long drives. She gets too sleepy.
With your pattern of falling asleep when you don’t intend to do so, you are likely living with chronic sleep deprivation, setting up the vicious circle with weight gain and high blood pressure.
You can beat this-
I just ordered a new hose and mask for my CPAP machine. I have been encouraged very clearly to get back to using the machine.
I am hopeful to start loosing weight... I can do this.
Thanks again
Narcolepsy is falling asleep during a conversation or while driving, God forbid.
Lose weight, exercise, get that bp down and schedule yourself for another sleep study appt. Turning 60 is a HUGE wake up call for many of us, my husband included, when his bad eating habits caused him to have emergency triple bypass surgery in October. And that was just the beginning of the problems.
Wake up now before it's too late.
