Sleep apnea and the CF body

[Lance2020x]

For years now I've been waking up feeling exhausted, some days it feels like my body was running a marathon in my sleep and I've snored (LOUDLY) since I can remember. I'm always complaining of feeling tired, but I've -for the most part- gotten use to just 'being tired'.

I was talking to my dad today and he mentioned Sleep Apnea and told of a friend of his who had it to a dangerous level, was given some breathing machine and it changed his life.
I'd heard of Sleep Apnea but didn't know anything about it.

Does anybody have any information relating to Sleep Apnea, or if CFers are known to get Sleep Apnea or anything of the sort? Is there anyone who also feels tired all the time and knows anything about it?

YES YES YES

Very common. I am not familiar with the details, but I believe a sleep study has to be done to give a true dx.

Many of our members have done such.

I am sure they will respond, but in the meantime you could probably do a search of the older threads about it.

I've had a sleep study done, and I have minimal sleep apnea. They wouldn't give me a CPAP machine because of this. However it is very common. If you think you have it tell your symptoms to your doc and they can schedule you a sleep study.

I don't have CF, but I do have sleep apnea. I was just diagnosised about a month ago and had surgery for it last week.

If you are feeling tired even after sleeping a full night, I would definitely talk to a sleep specialist and do a sleep study. Sleep apnea happens when you stop or have restricted breathing during sleep. So the sleep study/test will help determine if you are experiencing sleep apnea and what the possible causes could be.

The options for treatment can including using a CPAP machine or even surgery.

Do you have a lot of sinus issues? That could be to blame as well (if you get stuffed up then you breath through your mouth and snore, etc.). The sleep specialist can look at that too.

Not sleeping well is so hard on the body...get it checked out right away!
