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 - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
