Re: Re: Sleep apnea and fibro/GERD

Darlene,

You are right in that I should have another sleep study done, but right now I am

dealing with cancer and raditation and now is not the time to do this.  Maybe

later this year.

Re: Sleep apnea and fibro/GERD

Actually, it doesn't matter how bad your sleep apnea is - you can

still die in your sleep.  It can also cause strokes, high blood

pressure, heart attacks and the like. 

If you feel that you have overcome your apnea because you lost weight

or some other thing, then get another study done before you put up

your machine " for good " . It's not worth your life!

Re: Sleep apnea and fibro/GERD

Christi,

Have you let your oncologist know about your OSA? While it may not be

possible for you to wear your cpap at night, perhaps they can come up

with something? I understand you can only deal with one thing at a

time and this current " thing " is obviously more important. You'll be

in my prayers, girl.
