A mum who suffers from sleep apnoea says her condition is so bad it "could be fatal if left untreated" and has to wear breathing apparatus to bed every night. Anya Taylor, 46, has suffered from the potentially fatal condition - which is when your breathing stops and starts while you sleep - for more than 20 years. It caused her snoring to be so bad her husband, Paul, 54, compared her to a steam train. Anya now sleeps with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine every night - which she wears over her face and helps keep her airways open. She says if she doesn’t use it she wakes up feeling "hungover" - with symptoms including excessive tiredness during the day, a heavy headache, and brain fog.
