Difficult situation with a brain strongly stuck in “hypervigilent” mode….please help

I left a toxic working environment recently because I couldn’t nervously cope anymore with many people/ managers non-sense after many years of “trying”

After reading a lot and trying to understand what was going on with me, I realized the fact I suffer from past untreated sleep apnea, added to the intense toxicity I was experiencing permanently at work for so many years, left my brain stuck in “hypervigilant“ mode . Every single task or discussion was felt as a threat and I jumped quicky in fight mode. Still same even if I left the workplace a few months ago.

Even the sleep apnea treatment with a cpap and mask is felt as a threat by my brain keeping me in light sleep for a hours with the inability to fall into deep sleep ( factual observation done during sleep studies or frequent monitoring) with a maximum or 40 minutes of deep sleep per night, waking up every 2 hours….

My organism is probably oversensitive as well to any stimulus ! I tried many supplements and plants, whatever you name it and I am having opposite effects!

No wonder I feel like a mess since years. My brain and body couldn’t and still can’t recover. I stay fit but even muscular development was ,and still is , difficult, my brain and body probably not allocating resources to build but only to protect and react at anytime….

one input I thought about is I had a cancer and chemotherapy 20 years ago and wonder if it all started there ….

I wanted to believe in vagus nerve stimulation , whatever the brand , but honestly the mess the manufacturers generate around is not reassuring at all and reflect amateurism : either there is a “crooks crooked” story between companies/individuals (specific to enowell / yojo / dr andré Boezaart or whatever) or the below for all brands:

- Patent but everybody uses it ( zenowell, vagustim, nuropod or whatever)

- Paid reviews (like any other hobby Or business anyway you’d say….)

- All brands point at studies demonstrating either slight or non existing improvement (nonsense to point, feel like copy/paste….) or point at studies in which their devices wasn’t used for (nonsense again) (best examples are nurosym / nuropod , vagustim , Pulsetto, truvaga..),

This is not reassuring at all and disappointing when you want to believe in it and you are ready to buy one. It feels looks like all of the brands are amateur and not serious at all…

I am so desperate find a solution for me and find regenerative sleep and rest for good to function normally again in whatever I do, even living the day !

Horizon 7.0 at problems : stopped after 10 times max. Use

we purchased it last year and my wife (120 lbs) used it less than a dozen of times, each time complaining it stopped around 5 to 6 miles of walking (3.5mph usually).

she was complaining as well about some static electricity being released when touching the heart rate sensors.

these made her finally not using it anymore.

Last week I decided to use it and include it in my weekly fitness plan, to avoid going to the gym when it is my cardio day.

well, after 45 minutes, it completely stopped to respond. The display is on but neither the elevator nor the belt motor function.

I contacted Johnson Health (mother company) after seeing some people had the same issue and some even went to see lawyers as they fell when their treadmill stopped.

After opening the cover, I could see the green led on the mcb was blinking in sequences of (4 blinks for 1 stop). Basically exact same issue one “redditer” went through some months ago with multiple replacements….. I provided those info to the tech support.

Let’s see how they support as it seems it is a recurring issue and hope a root cause has been properly done to understand the problem for a robust solution.
