I’ve been on CPAP for close to 20 years. I’m so old my youngest is on CPAP.
I take my CPAP everywhere - including overseas business trips. Changed my life. Took me almost ten years to convince my Irish-tempered Polish-stubborn wife to get her fucking sleep study done. She’s been on it a few years and now she checks her sleep score first thing every morning. It totally changed her life as well.
My old man had sleep apnea much worse that I did. Like my wife he’d stop breathing. Sleep apnea is really bad. My advice to everyone is to get that shit handled.
I’ve got a cardiologist; I’ve had GERD and now I’ve got occasional a fib. Up to a baker’s dozen of pills a day. I’m good; just took a 6,000 miles solo driving vacay and hiked in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. If you take good care of yourself you‘ll eventually get sick and die (old Rodney Dangerfield joke). Like everything else in life you either pussy out and give up or say “Fuck THIS” (whatever “this” is), do what you can medically, improve diet / exercise and get on with it.
