Sa isang exclusive interview ng GMANetwork.com kamakailan ay inamin ng 'Maria Clara at Ibarra' star na si David Licauco na mayroon siyang 'sleep apnea,' isang sleep disorder kung saan tumitigil ng maraming beses ang paghinga ng isang tao habang tulog ito.
Bagamat hindi ito ang first time na ibinahagi niya ang tungkol sa kanyang kundisyon, marami pa rin ang nagulat. Hindi nila lubos akalain na sa likod ng kaniyang magandang pangangatawan at nakahuhumaling na ngiti ay mayroon itong mabigat na pinagdadaanan.
Kitang-kita naman ang suporta ng mga fans para sa Kapuso actor dahil pinaulanan nila ito ng 'Get Well Soon' messages.
Basahin ang ilan sa mga touching messages para sa Pambansang Ginoo dito:
Tama yan paopera ka muna at magpahinga.Nandito lang kaming fans mo maghihintay. Get well David!
He's struggling but he tried to hide it and continue to answer the questions. I don't know why, but felt that he's been hiding so much pain inside him. I was so sad after hearing this. Hopefully gumaling ka. I'll pray for you.
Get well soon David. Grabe this is my first time to appreciate an actor like you tapos malalalaman ko nalang na meron kang sakit. Magpagaling ka ginoo.
Andaming tao ang tingin sayo privilege, perfect, most of the time misunderstood...di nila alam you are not. Your health is in bad shape. Get well soon David. Sana gumaling ka na from that sleep apnea.
Drink warm water lagi Ginoong David..para magluwag lahat ng daanan ng hangin,ugat at lungs mo. Avoid cold water or malamig na inumin. Tap water is also ok. Hope maging ok na pagtulog mo. God bless u always.
Sama kita sa dasal ko pambansang ginoo Fidel.
Beh when I first heard that you have sleep apnea, nagwoworry talaga ako sayo. Praying for your good health. At kahit bad mood ka at kung matarayan mo man ako, love pa din kita.
In the midst of his struggle against sleep apnea, He still works so hard, as an actor & business man. I hope he knows how he made a lot of positive impact with many.
Your health is what matters most to us @davidlicauco so pls stay healthy. We hope you'll have a successful operation.
Naparesearch ako bigla paano yung operation ng mgay sleep apnea, ung delikado ba, at kung anoa no pa sa sobrang kaba. Lord, please guide and protect our Fidel and to you, @davidlicauco be healthy and take care always, I will always include you in my prayers!
Saw David's interview about his sleep apnea. That man is holding his emotion. Dun pa lang sa part na “Punta kami sa hospital tomorrow kasi hirap na hirap na ako” then just smile, ramdam ng nagpipigil lang siya. Hope you'll feel better soon, @davidlicauco.
Sana makapagconsult ka na sa doctor regarding your sleep apnea to prevent other complications. And hold on to the Lord.
Yung akala ko ang healthy mo po Ginoo @davidlicauco pero may matagal ka na palang sakit na iniinda sa loob ng mahigit na sampung taon. Sana magkaroon ng lunas ang iyong sleep apnea. Take care always Ginoo. You need some rest too paminsan para na din po sa'yong kalusugan.
Behind those charming smiles ay may heavy struggles talagang nakatago. Now that he broadcast that he has sleep apnea, please if you see this man resting, don't disturb him nalang.
As a fan that cares for your health and as a nursing student, exercise po can help ease your sleep apnea. Also get 30 minutes of moderate activity, such as a brisk walk. There is a method/machine called CPAP which can help you. We value you, david. Take care, always love you lots!
It's scary to think that David really bears the burden of his sleep apnea, even worried much when he knew he had an almost similar situation with the late Rico Yan.
