Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Also getting hate mail about this from one user so far. Looks like a shill but still
Is the hate mail from NewbishBewbish? Consider it a a badge of honor. And you can just block the retarded faggot like I did.
Yep! Glad to know I made the cut :)
You've been in my prayers today, fren.
Thanks, so far it seems like it’s likely asthma induced by the sickness. I found my inhaler and already feel much better. I also realized that I used an inhaler the other times I got sick and had my asthma triggered. One puff and I’m sleeping like a baby back then, hopefully this time too. I could lose sleep over NewbishBewbish PM’s but I need to just forgive him and move on.
Sorry to hear that, Tankstir. Magnesium is recommended for sleep so make sure you're not lacking that (most people are).
Breathing problems when lying down could be apnoeia. Try propping yourself up in bed to sleep. If you feel tightening of your throat, an asthma inhaler could help.
Panic attacks that are not related to breathing problems are a whole other subject but meditation helped my wife (sitting, not lying).
This is not medical advice. Just putting my thoughts down.
I do have a family history of sleep apnea and they are not overweight by much, maybe 10-20 lb. I only have these problems when sick and dealing with traumatic events like kids having life and death situations. Two kids in the last month and then the same two in the hospital for a week a year ago. I do snore regularly but I never wake up not being able to breathe. The only times are the situations listed earlier and it’s as I’m falling asleep. When falling asleep I also feel shaky and short of breath. I also don’t have issues napping during the day
Noted but I have nothing to add.
