Apnea the Bone Killer

[IMT staff]

Apnea literally means "without breath". However, it might just as easily have been name "without sex", because it is so deadly to your sex life and almost always leads to erectile dysfunction.

Apnea does not kill instantly like a heart attack or painfully like cancer, but it kills nonetheless, and one of the first signs is usually your libido and erections.

Apnea repeatedly cuts off your air supply, a condition researchers call hypoxia, throughtout the night. Apnea can cut off the air for as long as ten seconds before the sufferer awakes. In the process, apnea obliterates your sleep pattern and sleep cycles. The disruption of your sleep produces symptoms that you would expect: fatigue, headaches and concentration issues.

This is what I think I probably have. I thought I had low T but doctor measured it at 500 (though total estrogen is high at 135) at 25 yrs old. I can sleep for 8-10 hours a day and still feel tired the next day. I think I'm going to have to get a sleep study done, but weird thing is that I dont snore much though I am overweight

I just got on a CPAP machine two weeks ago. my RHI? was 52.. and my o2 saturation dropped to 78% at night.. my RHI? was at 78! when i layed on my back.

And i have Low T, last test pre-TRT was 335.

Now I wake up feeling. ok.. not like i've been hit by a train or with a headache. And the wife loves the fact that I do not snore anymore.
