Heavyweight star’s frantic battle with sleep apnea
Star Trek legend William Shatner confesses he struggles for breath at night because obstructive sleep apnea clogs his airways and must use a life saving device to keep his lungs working.
The 88-year-old star says he came down with the disorder — where breathing repeatedly stops for at least 10 seconds at a time during sleep — a decade ago and got a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine, which forces air into his lungs.
“After I was diagnosed with sleep apnea 10 years ago, my CPAP machine changed my life,” he says.
He’s so gung-ho over CPAPs, he’s now on TV hawking a spinoff product that cleans and sanitizes the devices.
