Friend of mine has the same problem, and since having the "forced air" system he has gone from strength to strength ..literaly ... no-one had realised just how poorly he was .. including him !!!

To say he is a "new man" would not be an understatement.

He is also a keen "tin-tenter", and this has not stopped him .. he has a 12 volt version for the 'van, and I've installed an "extra" leisure battery as insurance... he can go away to a non-electrics site for up to 5 days without any worries ..

It's not nice .. but once you know and get used to it .. then you can live life to the full ..  :y :y :y

Take care young un  :y :y :y :y

That explains it youth, your loonyness is due to lack of oxygen to the brain and your uglyness to lack of beauty sleep;D ;D

Joking aside hope it sorts you old boy ;)

Just thought I would post this Thread to see if it helps anyone.

As some of you know I have had heart problems and apparently Obstructive Sleep Apnea could have been the cause :-?

I have always been able to go asleep anywhere at anytime, not really thinking anything was wrong with that, but apparently when asleep I stop breathing according to Mrs Loo-knee. She watched that Embarrassing Illnesses on the TV and made an appointment for me to go to the Doctors.
The Doctor forwarded me to an appointment at the Hospital.

I had to bring home equipment to wear whilst asleep, which when I returned they looked at what had been recorded. I then had to go back for another recorder which had electrodes, on my ankles, wrists, fingers, chest and stomach.
This showed that i stopped breathing 146 times per night which was nearly every 2 minutes for a duration of up to 59 seconds :-? My heart would then beat like running a marathon to compensate.

So I have just come back from the Hospital with a machine with a mask ( so I am more like Vader than I realised ;D) that I have to wear whilst sleeping. According to what I have been told I should feel totally different in the morning as I only stay in phase 1 sleep (as I am waking up 146 times when I gasp for air) instead of a deep sleep phase 4...

You maybe laughing by this stage I would to being honest, but I though I would post it just incase it could help anyone else. The hospital have told me that this is a relitively new condition that has been found which some GP's don't even know about :-?
Here is a link to look at :y
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_sleep_apnea

Not so sure about that, it has been around a long time, may not be recognised by GP's perhaps :-/ :-/

I know 2 16 year olds who use the machines at night, so it is not an age thing :y Mind both these boys are shall we say, rotund in their appearance.... :D :D :D

Hope it works out for you and that you are able to feel a new man....... ;D ;D ;D :y
