Yes, been told I have sleep apnea...tried CPAP....did not work for me....I am getting much worse...especially when I first get up...I am in a deep haze for about approx 1 hour ....prob because my brain was somewhat oxygen starved?

I fear one of these days...I will not wake up...period.
I dose off constantly during day, too. Sooo fatigued. Can't do for myself...I live by myself--- no help at all.. Concentrating is hard.
I am 73...would a med called adderall help me? I am not familiar with it...& my GP is a jerk about "mental meds" I have been told. I keep telling about my issues here and he laughs...says it a part of aging!! I am upset. Anyone got some advise for my dilemma?. I want to get active and be me again!!...have an alert mind again and not falling asleep all the time at home.

Hello @katanaguy, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear that the CPAP didn't work for you. You are not alone with CPAP frustration. May I ask what caused you to give up on the CPAP? Was it an issue with the mask?

I am your age and find I don't feel rested all day.Makes me wonder, do I need this machine but you just reminded me,.live or die. Sending hugs
