Think I could have sleep apnea?
So here is my problem. Everyday for the past 10 days give or take a day I wake up around noon, feel tired most of the day, get a throbbing headache around 8-9 PM, take motrin which almost always cures it, go to sleep around 2-3 AM. I have bene researching sleep apnea and the symptoms. I do no wake up suddently in the middle of the night nore fall alseep during the day, just feel tired. I also have terrible later summer allergies, which I think may be the true culprit. I haev alwasy had them though and have never had headaches like these. any suggestions would be great. thanks

It’s just allergies. I started snoring again around Aug 17. My allergies are so bad they make me feel like I am getting the flu and I don’t have any energy to do anything. Headaches have been ok so far but I do get allergy headaches.
Apnea is when your breathing is interrupted and you stop breathing for a moment. You don’t wake up fully it just interrupts your sleep.
Anyway ragweed just started about 2 weeks ago and everyone is miserable lately. So that’s where I would put the blame if I were you.
It is allergies. Apnea is a rear round thing, all the time thing. The true diagnosis is from lowered O2 levels in the blood when you sleep.
You have the headaches from either sinus pressure or sinus infection. If the discharge is thick, and opaque – greenish,,,, then you have an infection and a trip to the doc is probably in order. If the discharge is clear, then you just have sinus pressure. The advil will help, but a ddecongestantmixed with a Clariton, will do more. IN fact, the Clariton-D product is perfect, as it ssuppressesthe allergy reaction, and decongests the sinus.
Sleep Apnea is an acute condition and does not come on suddenly. You could have an infection or are allergic to something. You might try an over-the-counter allergy medication and see if that helps. If not, see your doctor and ask for a stronger allergy med.
