Many people are diagnosed daily with sleep apnea, from ages 80 to 1 week of age. It's a common disorder and commonly treated with cpap or bipap use on a nightly basis. All it means is the body is not taking in the appropriate amount of oxygen needed during sleeping hours and the body needs help with continued oxgination of the body. If left untreated it can lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks due to the lack of adequate oxygenation.

My mom has it. IT is the scariest thing to see at first. Not to scare anyone. My mom didn't realize she had it til one night i went in her room to tell her i was home a little late. She wasn't breathing... I THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD!!! It scared me half to death. I had to shake her really hard in order for her to wake up. Finally, my grandma and I got her talked into taking the over night test. Now she has to sleep with a machine that actually pushes air through her lungs so she can now sleep a full night and isnt feeling tired when she wakes up.

My dad has, and the veterans hospital gave him this funny little machine that makes a lot of noise and looks like something from outer space, but for the most part, it works. It just took him a while to get used to it.
