David Licauco has revealed that he’s affected by sleep apnea, a dysfunction the place respiration all of a sudden stops whereas an individual is asleep.
In an unique interview with GMA Entertainment, the “Maria Clara at Ibarra” star opened up on his struggles with the situation.
“It’s scary talaga ‘yung sleep apnea. It’s been my insecurity since it started when I was 16 years old so it’s been 11 years,” mentioned the Pambansang Ginoo.
“‘Yung sleep apnea, basically, my breathing stops. It’s about thirty seconds straight about 24 times in an hour when I’m sleeping obviously,” he added.

David, who performs Fidel within the hit historic portal fantasy sequence, mentioned having sleep apnea makes him irritable because of the disruptions to his sleep.
“The next day, bad mood ka. Nasa’n ako? Nasa showbiz industry ako and easy to judge, ‘di ba?” “So sa lahat ng nasungitan ko, alam n’yo na siguro kung bakit.”
“Actually sa gabi lang umaayos ‘yung mood ko e. Siguro kailangan mo rin talaga mag-warm up e,” he added. “Kumbaga ‘yung brain ko matagal siyang nagwa-warm up as compared to others.”
David is contemplating getting a surgical procedure to deal with his sleep apnea.
“Pupunta kami ng mom ko sa doctor to have a check up again. I’ll probably get an operation soon ’cause hirap na hirap na ‘ko,” he mentioned.
According to Mayo Clinic, surgical choices for sleep apnea embrace removing or shrinkage of tissue within the throat, nerve stimulation, and jaw repositioning, amongst others.
