A woman with sleep apnea had nightmares every night because of the disrupted sleep. She would often feel like she was suffocating in her sleep. It took a long time for her to be diagnosed, and during that time, she became extremely depressed due to the lack of proper sleep and the constant fear of not waking up.
They can make a person very anxious. Constantly waking up in a state of panic due to lack of air can lead to generalized anxiety disorder over time.
Sure. One horror story is about a man who had sleep apnea but didn't know it. He was constantly tired during the day and almost fell asleep at the wheel several times. He thought it was just normal fatigue until his wife noticed he often stopped breathing during sleep. It was really scary as it could have led to a serious accident.
The most terrifying part is the threat to life. People can stop breathing multiple times during the night. It's like a silent killer. One could die in their sleep without proper diagnosis and treatment.
Another success story is about a woman, Lisa. She had central sleep apnea and it was taking a toll on her mental health too. She joined a support group for sleep apnea patients. There she learned about different treatment options. She opted for a surgical procedure to correct some of the anatomical issues causing her apnea. After the surgery, she had a remarkable recovery. Her sleep improved, and she was able to resume her hobbies that she had given up because of her tiredness. She also became an advocate for sleep apnea awareness, sharing her story to inspire others.
Many people who have had successful sleep apnea surgery find that they are no longer as sleepy during the day. For example, they can drive long distances without feeling drowsy, which was a big problem before the surgery. Also, their cognitive functions improve as they are getting proper sleep at night.
One positive outcome is better sleep quality. CPAP keeps the airways open, so people with sleep apnea can sleep more soundly.
One horror story could be someone who unknowingly consumed alcohol while on Antabuse. They experienced severe nausea, vomiting, and intense headaches. It was so bad that they had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment.
There are cases where individuals on guanfacine have experienced significant mood changes. For example, they might become more irritable or depressed suddenly. This could be due to the way the drug affects the brain's neurotransmitters. It might disrupt the normal balance, leading to these unexpected and unwanted mood shifts. And in some situations, it may also cause problems with memory or cognitive function, making it difficult to remember simple things or perform routine mental tasks.
Well, in some absinthe horror stories, people reported serious health problems. It's said that over - consumption of absinthe in the past led to things like nerve damage and mental instability. There were cases where people's behavior became erratic, they had tremors, and their cognitive functions seemed to decline. This was likely due to the high levels of thujone in some absinthe products back then. However, modern absinthe is usually regulated to have much lower thujone levels.
I don't really know for sure if it's real or fictional. It could be a real experience that Jo Koy had and then exaggerated for comedic effect, or it could be completely made up to tell an interesting story.
