Emma is joined by Gary Knight.  Gary experienced a lot of the common symptoms of sleep apnea before his diagnosis in 2016, in particular he noticed overwhelming daytime sleepiness.  Gary discusses the treatment he received, where he lives in the UK, and his first experiences with his CPAP.  Gary lost over 70lbs after he was diagnosed and we discuss his attitude and approach to exercise and the effect his weight loss had on his sleep apnea (*spoiler alert - it helped!!!).  Having learned to manage his own sleep apnea, Gary has gone on to help others with his Facebook support group "Southern UK Sleep Apnoea and CPAP".   For more on Gary's journey: https://www.hope2sleep.co.uk/sleep-apnoea-patient-stories-gary.html https://www.blf.org.uk/your-stories/how-a-cpap-machine-changed-my-life Connect with Gary: Instagram: @grassbasher  Email: sleepapnoea@mail.com
