I have self-diagnosed myself with sleep apnea. Just before my body falls asleep, I re-awaken gasping for air with a pounding heart. It's awful.. and very, very bad for the lungs and extremely straining on the heart.
One man who recently spent the night at my house has claimed "I was watching you sleep. Then, all of a sudden, you started breathing really hard for a few seconds, and then completely stopped for about fifteen to twenty. It scared the shit out of me! I picked up my phone to dial the police, and then, all of a sudden, you took a deep breath and started breathing normal again."
Needless to say, that poor sweet boy, whom I still hug and kiss every time I see him, got no sleep that night because he was too scared to leave me to my condition.
Sleep Apnea is, as defined in medical terms, an apneic event that includes a minimum 10 second interval between breaths, with either a neurological arousal (not THAT kind... You dirty girls!) (a 3-second or greater shift in EEG frequency, measured at C3, C4, O1, or O2), a blood oxygen desaturation of 3-4% or greater, or both arousal and desaturation. Which, in more simple terms, means the neurological method in which your body "automatically" remembers to breath stops due to a malfunction in the brain.

I refuse to see a doctor about my condition because I've learned there is no cure for it.
