At my doc’s request, I did a sleep study last week.

Doc called me today, said I have "severe sleep apnea."

I said, can’t I just lose weight? (I could lose 60 pounds before I get near "normal" sized.) He said it is "not enough" right now.

Got an appt to see him next week.

Anyone had any personal experience with this? Any advice comments or suggestions?

In addition to being a Respiratory Therapist, I also have to wear CPAP every night. It does take a little getting used to… I woke up several nights with having pulled the mask off. It took me approximately a little over a month to get used to it. It takes effort but it is well worth it. I now cannot even nap without my cpap on because I feel so much better with it.

The reason why I choose to wear CPAP is because of the damage sleep apnea has been shown to do to one’s heart. Obstructive Sleep Apnea, if left untreated can cause right sided heart failure. Currently, there is no proven treatment for right sided heart failure (cor pulmonale).

It might be a pain to get used to, but it is well worth it, in my opinion as a CPAP wearer and an RRT.
