Husband's sleep apnea test and high blood pressure

[Guest guest]

Hi, I thought you would like an update on my husband's sleep test.

Well I'm at this site because he has chronic pain, and now we assume

extreme sleep apnea. He had the test Sunday the 11th. The sleep

clinic is three and one half hours away. Nothing is close to where

we live. He had a regular doctors appointment for the 22nd. They

called him and had him come in thursday to discuss his sleep apnea.

They didn't have the reports yet but the sleep clinic wants him on a

CPAP machine ASAP. We are impressed they seem genuenly concerned.

So much is said negetivly against doctors I thought I would add

something positive. We are hoping this will help his blood pressure

and allow him to get some sleep. We had no idea how serious this was

we thank God that something is being done. His blood pressure is also

down some due to the meds, that is very good as this has been

extremely stressful week. This is the first Father's Day without our

son. Just a couple more notes of advice chronic pain usually equates

some high blood pressure and sleep problems. If you do go to a sleep

clinic get a doctor referal and go to an accreiated clinic. Thank

you for your concern.
