    My heart stopped about 11 times a year between the age of 12 and 18 and I had to be resuscitated due to asthma. I was healed by prayer. I get episodes of severe cluster headaches and eventually wake up with pressure in my head and memory loss. About 5 years ago I had an MRI done and evidence of several strokes shows up on the MRI. I am on toplep and blood thinner.

    I watched the case of that young man Otto who was a US graduate and visited North Korea. They said there was little evidence of physical torture when he was returned to US, but something happened to him in order to silence him from exposing North Korean crimes against humanity. I recently watched a Joe Rogan podcast of a North Korean escapee and she said a torture technique used over there is air deprivation, they leave enough just to keep you alive. It would explain Ottos vegetative state when he was finally returned to the US.

    My mom suffered from hypoxia and brain injury, she has been in the ICU for 37d now, she barely responds to commands and barely recognise her surroundings and people around her, she cannot speak and barely controlling body movements. She barely gives emotional face expressions like happiness sadness and pain. hopefully she recovers soon ♥️

    I feel like they probably should have included drug use/overdose as a potential cause of hypoxia, it’s more common than some of the other causes that they listed and there’s a high risk of an addict experiencing it multiple times whilst in active addiction, especially if they’re an opiate addict or alcoholic.

    • @Gremlinbaby_xo
      @Gremlinbaby_xo 3 года назад +2

      Addicts are also far less likely to seek/receive proper treatment for a multitude of reasons after being in a hypoxic state, which isn’t exactly going to contribute to any kind of recovery on their part but also let’s face it, it’s skewing the statistics (etc) too.

    I have vasovagal syncope and fainted in may. Then two weeks ago during dinner found myself on the floor. I had not finished my dinner huge red flag as I train daily. I have low blood pressure 100/60 to 120 on average. Im 37 kilo. Trying to gain muscle. Id slumped in chair spilling my food. I almost injured head on a metal bar under desk where I fell. I have room fall proofed now fallen 4 times regardless of weight. Ive been healthy weight and still had this. Mum does too. Im annoyed as i cannot fly safetly. Thought I'd just fallen asleep. Fitbit alert warned of dangerously low blood oxygen last night and the night I ended up on the floor.

    I nearly died Oct 2021 in ICU from the Delta. I barely survived and today suffer severe L/C I was not Diabetic before the infection, 3 months after discharge my home health nurses noted high blood sugar, I am full blown Diabetic Type 2 now. But I also suffer severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea and am on CPAP with Supplemental 02 attached. My Doctors have noted severe Hypoxia especially when I lay down, or sit back in my chair. Sometimes it seems positional. My 02 drops down into the low 80’s upper 70’s when I forget to put on my CPAP. I was wondering what Organs are likely affected by this low Oxygen Hypoxia. I was told by one of my Doctors that Ray Liota likely died from Hypoxia in his sleep. I was also told that they fly patients to Trauma Centers when their 02 is down that low. Does anybody have any comment or ideas? Alot of people who had the 19 are struggling with Hypoxia even 2 years after infection.

    Hello
    Thank you very much for your important video about hypoxia
    Unfortunately, the dangers of chronic hypoxia and the main reasons causing hypoxia due to lack of oxygen in the inhaled air are given a little information and most importantly in connection with the adaptive capabilities of the body during chronic hypoxia and in general with a lack of oxygen in the air - in fact people they may not notice the absence of oxygen, since carbon dioxide is not recognized by them, and people in a closed room (for example, closed windows and vents in winter) people can breathe the same air for a long time and not notice it !
    The lack of oxygen there.
    And then what can happen?
    The human body begins to adapt to a lack of oxygen by changing the metabolism of the main functions of the body, and in particular cellular and tissue respiration, to oxygen-free mechanisms of energy production.
    In the end, nothing good.
    Further, with time of prolonged oxygen starvation, dysfunctions of various organs or systems are possible, and diseases may occur, the true causes of which may not be unraveled either by the patient himself or by doctors. Thus, people who actually suffer from chronic hypoxia may be treated symptomatically, without knowing the true causes of the disease.
    In general, the other day I googled in search of the causes of chronic hypoxia and found almost no information.
    The importance of clean air for life expectancy cannot be denied and should be put in the first place in importance this is my very opinion, but not for or to diet for example.
    Without air, a person cannot live for even a few minutes, and without food, for example, a week can be.
    Also , Dear Friends, I would like to share important information with my colleagues and with everyone interested in Health - Why people used to live much longer in ancient times
    I have an article in my profile - called Way to Longevity - Please find time for attention.
    I don’t give a link here because it’s seems to inconvenient to do that here, but from other side I feel that I have to disclose such an information
    Please forgive my long comment.
    Wishing you good health and all the Very Best
    Dr

    I had a one off prolonged grand mal seizure a few years ago, the active phase lasted way too long and it was stated by bystanders it was about 5 minutes before I took a huge breath in. I was purple almost black in my face. I really knocked myself around, I almost bit my tongue off, broke teeth and broke 3 vertebrae in the collapse. I was so knocked off after I came around about 15 minutes later. I was very lucky someone was there to assist me. It took a long time to recover from that incident. I still have problems with memory loss to this day. I found it very hard to find the words I wanted to say, I’d forget what I was talking about, say the wrong words, I couldn’t write anything down, the signal from my brain to my hand to write down a number for example just did not compute. The message wouldn’t go from my brain to the hand. It was very scary. As you can see I can write and read ok now but it took a few months for these symptoms to gradually come right and I still am not my old self till this day. I was extremely lucky. I can’t imagine the frustration and gruelling work some must go through in rehab. Getting over my broken back hasn’t gone as well, 9 years on and I’m in for my third surgery and suffer from
    Chronic pain everyday. Live life to the fullest, as tomorrow your life could change just like that. Never take your health for granted it’s the greatest blessing. :)

    Could a severely deviated septum cause it? I have a fit vit versa 2 and its telling me that my spo2 is 82% to 94% while sleeping. I have been having some very sudden extreme anxiety for the past 2 months (no history of anxiety disorders in me or my family) and I was wondering if this is a possible cause. My left nostril is probably about 75-85% obstructed by my septum due to a nose break i had when I was 8 years old.

    • @KiwikimNZ
      @KiwikimNZ 2 года назад

      I would go see a respiratory specialist. See if you could get a sleep test done. You may just need a c pap machine at night for obstructive airway or your chest maybe stopping you from getting sufficient volumes of oxygen, do you shallow breath? Do you feel you breath from
      The upper part of your chest not your belly? I have problems with my chest cavity , my spine os collapsing and I find it hard to breath deeply, I feel very light headed and fatigued all the time. Anxious for no reason too. I hope that you go and seek advice and show them
      Your results from your readings. 82 percent is a bit too low and you wouldn’t want to be running on low oxygen kind that for a long period of of time. Good luck dear

    Could severe asthma in a child have caused hypoxia, which caused damage to the frontal lobe, resulting in ADHD symptoms?
    Now to get to the root cause: could wildfire smoke in the early 1980’s along with childhood vaccines have caused the combi of symptoms of asthma, allergies, eczema, dairy intolerance, gluten intolerance, & adhd symptoms? I couldn’t help but notice this phenomenon to be very common in a certain region of the county where there were unusual amounts of wildfires and certain childhood vaccines enforced then.
