EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin says he believes doctors have helped him find a solution for his migraine headaches.
Harvin confirmed Monday he was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, a condition that causes temporary breathing stoppages during sleep. Doctors believe it has contributed to his migraine attacks. Harvin has been set up with a special breathing machine, and he says he hasn’t had a migraine since his scary collapse on the practice field last month sent him to the hospital.
Harvin had only one catch for 12 yards in Minnesota’s season-opening loss at New Orleans. With Pro Bowl wide receiver Sidney Rice out for several more weeks following hip surgery, the Vikings are counting on Harvin even more. The Vikings host Miami on Sunday.
