Today is Terez Paylor day. Great to see the franchise and city embrace such a wonderful guy.
I’ll never forget 2019. The year we finally made
It and won a Super Bowl, the year we had the absolute best journalist covering our team and also the year the worst journalists (KK, Fat Pryor and Florio) got their asses roasted by our success. [Reply]

You can’t die from sleep apnea. At least acutely. Your body wakes you up to breathe. Over time can damage your heart and then you die. If he had it, hard to believe he wouldn’t have been on a cpap machine. Hell, 40% of Chiefs Planet has a CPAP machine. [Reply]

Reggie White... sleep apnea was a contributing factor in his death, IIRC. [Reply]

Contributing. You dont have to have a medical degree to figure out quitting breathing 50 times a night is hard on your body and heart.
It’s physically impossible to stop breathing while asleep and die. Your body will make you up. It’s the weakened heart from the sleep apnea that does you in. I had 3 patients code on me while doing a sleep study. Got them all back but if they were at home, no way they make it without access to professional medical stuff like cardiac paddles, medicines.

No, I don't think he means that. He means simply stopping breathing. Cardiac arrest or a stroke are the reasons for death in your example, not simply stopping breathing. [Reply]

I stop about 15 times an hour, sometimes as long as 4 minutes. I lost my CPAP when the house burned and there's no insurance to get a new one. I'm always exhausted. [Reply]

Need to get another one ASAP. Your not getting into REMIII sleep. Without getting there, your always going to be tired and its stressing out your heart and lungs big time too. You can get a model that'll get the job done today for about $250.00 [Reply]

Jesus H Christ! Go find one you can afford. And if you’re able, look into the implanted devices. [Reply]
