Do you ever feel embarrassed talking about your sleep apnea?

Hi everyone, how are you doing today? 😊

Sleep apnea is more common than many people realize, but talking about it can feel uncomfortable. Some people worry about the stigma, they might feel embarrassed about snoring, using a CPAP machine, or having a condition often associated with older adults. But the reality is sleep apnea can affect people of all ages, shapes, and sizes.

❓ Have you ever felt embarrassed about your sleep apnea?

❓ Did you hesitate to get diagnosed or use a CPAP because of how you felt about it?

❓ What helped you become more comfortable talking about it?
