I am so tired during the day and when I do go to bed I have to sleep with 5 or 6 pillows if not I find myself sometimes waking up because I am holding my breath ,and that makes me sometimes wake up. I sweat alot too, but it is not everyday this occurs maybe about 4 to 5 times a week , but as long as I sleep almost sitting I can breath pretty well. Also my ankles are very swollen at times my right more then my left ,and my hands too.I have gained alot of weight during the last 8 years I've gone from size 9/10 to 18/20 W and sometimes even 22 I don't eat much since I had my gall bladder remove but I have gained so much it has me not wanting to go out the house ..Can you advise me besides that I know I must go to see a doctor about this .I do have insurance , I just can not stand that after I pay my co-pay and the insurance their part ,still I am send a bill that I have to still pay more .And that is one of the reasons I haven't checked myself with this problem of not inhaling / breathing as I should. Thank you for your responce.
