Anybody have sleep apnea?

Even at my heaviest weight (which was about 90lbs heavier than I am now) I never had any trouble sleeping the pointed to sleep apnea. However, over the past 6 months or so I have been having a hard time getting a good night of sleep largely from it feeling like my nasal passages have totally blocked off at some point in the night and I can't get air through them. So, I wake up and then have to wait to be able to get enough air to go back to sleep. I went to the doctor and they think I may have obstructive sleep apnea. They are sending me to the ear, nose and throat guys next week because they think I might have nasal polyps or similar blocking my airways. My husband says he doesn't notice any snoring but then he doesn't usually notice me waking up because I can't get air through my nose either.

Anybody ever had sleep apnea like this and what were the treatments?
