[QUOTE="hebejebe, post: 95270, member: 16935"] Ive been tested a few times for sleep apnea. Both times I was negative. My sleep does in fact suck. Wife says I snore. I never used to snore. She says its been for the past 4-5 years. I dont know if that has to do with weight gain or not. I was in the 170's while in my late 20's and early 30's. Something happened in my early 30's to where I started to slow down a little. I work in the HVAC field which was always great until I started sweating really bad. We all sweat when its 95 degrees out with high humidity but I was getting to the point that I needed a shower and change of clothes every hour lol. Im to the point now that a casual walk in the summer, while wearing light weight and light color t-shirt and gym short, has me sweating to the point that I need to carry a hand towel. Im sure some of the weight gain was due to me cutting out some of those activities that I would normally do during the warm weather time of year. Now, just sitting on the couch watching tv, i get bad under arm sweats. My groin area sweats to the point that I need to apply some powder to keep from chaffing lol. No doctors can explain it.
