Sleep Apnea diagnosis in 2000 with CPAP. Had UP3 Surgery in 2006 and went from Moderate to SEVERE Apnea - -besides being VERY painful, forever getting food down my windpipe, It made the Apnea worse - -and my family doctor, sleep doctor, and the ENT doctor don't know why!!
In answer to your questions:A sleep study really needs to be done.
First, there really isn't a true profile - some people with big necks and overweight do not have Sleep Apnea, others that weigh 105lbs dripping wet (my Aunt) have Severe Sleep Apnea. Secondly, the pressure needs to be set pretty well - -too little results in little help, too much pressure is sometimes thought to induce Sleep Narcolepsy, where a person really doesn't sleep, just completely numbs out, even in the daytime without warning - -completely different than Sleep Apnea. Third, they look for other sleep issues: brain activity, breathing, heart/lung issues, restless leg syndrome, etc.
The sleep studies are really painless and as comfortable as possible. I had never spent a night in a hospital until my first one, and "slept" all night with wires and nurses around (NO, couldn't get lucky at all!!).
Sleep apnea, in addition to extreme fatigue, can lead to heat attacks, digestive disorders, kidney issues, and severe depression, as the brain doesn't go the 4th level below REM sleep to create the enzymes needs for balanced metal health.
IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
