I started having symptoms at 30 and I am 36. The past 5 years have been a living hell. I have a Septorhinoplasty scheduled as I have multifactoral obstruction in my nose that prevents me from nasal breathing properly.

Hey! I’m 20 and got diagnosed a few years ago

It took my partner watching me stop breathing (not just snoring) before they tested me. I think that it’s more rare for it to be caught in children because as the patient I didn’t know that I did it. But it’s way more common than people realize!

I'm 31 now, got diagnosed when i was 28 and have used a CPAP since then. It's supposed to be an "old person disease" but here we are!
