I don't mean to beat a dead horse -- it sounds like Kevin feels like he has got it under control -- but weight is one of those chicken and egg things I was talking about earlier. Some people think the correlation is due to people with apnea being tired all the time. The reason I was told that I would need a new sleep study if my weight went up or down more than twenty pounds was that this may affect the pressure. My doctor seems to think it's genetic. Now this is the sleep center talking and they may have a tendency to see wverything as apnea because that is what they know how to treat, I dunno. And there does not seem to be a consensus among professionals yet either. I am just passing on the information I have.
I'd also like to mention that without the CPAP I wake up 55 times an hour and never get to REM sleep (zero yes zero percent of the time), however my perception was that I was waking up maybe three times a night due to heartburn or carpal tunnel. I am down off my soapbox now. Dana >Thats good for you....And a great option at that, but do you realize not all >sleep apnea patients are overweight??
